2017 BMW X3 Review - Tallahassee, FL

 Performance

Its engine options include a inline-4 as well as a inline-6, which is tuned and equipped to provide up to 300 hp, enables the vehicle to move and accelerate faster than most SUVs, while its xDrive all-wheel drive allows it to remain tame and easy to drive even at high speeds. Indeed, the all-wheel-drive system's dynamic nature enables power to be shifted rapidly as needed, with as much as 100% of the power being delivered to the wheels upon command. The dynamic driving control allows the driver to adjust the handling to suit his or her driving style, or current road conditions, even when the vehicle is in motion. This makes the car very agile, despite its large size and weight.

 Interior

However, it is not just the powertrain and handling that are to be admired. The interior is designed with the family commuter in mind. While stylish, the leather interior is solidly built to enable it to last longer when placed under day-to-day stress from the occupants. A spacious interior ensures that there is enough room for everyone, and the large hatch area has more than enough space for a week's worth of luggage.

 Safety

Comprehensive engineering also makes the interior extremely safe, with airbags strategically located throughout the vehicle, along with an extremely sturdy internal frame. The dashboard is intuitive and provides all expected luxury features, from navigation to Bluetooth integration to climate control.
