Our review of the BMW X3
Compiled with the help of AI from the sources listed; facts checked automatically. We have not driven this car.
The BMW X3 is a midsize SUV that costs from €68,887 on the road in the Netherlands (price list effective 1 December 2026); that is the 30e xDrive plug-in hybrid. It has a WLTP electric range of 85 to 88 km and uses 2.8 to 3.0 litres per 100 km. The boot of the 20 xDrive holds 570 to 1,700 litres and Euro NCAP gave the X3 five stars in 2025.
The X3 comes as a plug-in hybrid and as a mild hybrid with a petrol or diesel engine, all with all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. AutoWeek and ANWB praise the handling and the refined powertrains, and see the 30e xDrive as the most relevant version for the Netherlands. Their criticism: hard plastics, average infotainment and a high price, especially with options.
Buy it if…
- You want a midsize SUV that can tow: 2,000 kg (30e xDrive) to 2,500 kg (diesels and M50 xDrive) braked.
- You want to cover part of your daily trips electrically: the 30e xDrive manages 85 to 88 km on the WLTP cycle.
- You value stable, sure-footed handling, which AutoWeek and ANWB praise.
Skip it if…
- You want fast charging: according to ANWB the plug-in hybrid cannot use a DC charger.
- You need a large boot: the plug-in holds 460 litres, against 570 litres in the 20 xDrive, and AutoWeek and ANWB find it awkwardly shaped.
- You expect high-quality finishing: AutoWeek and ANWB mention hard plastics on the doors and centre console.
- You need good rear visibility: ANWB calls it poor because of the large, angular body.
Best pick
BMW X3 30e xDrive: At €68,887 on the road (price list effective 1 December 2026) the X3 30e xDrive has the lowest price of the X3 versions and is more powerful (220 kW, 299 hp) than the X3 20 xDrive at €83,968. According to AutoWeek and ANWB it is the most relevant version for the Netherlands.
Pros
- Pleasant handling: stable and sure-footed with good road holding, according to AutoWeek and ANWB.
- Refined powertrains: in the plug-in hybrid the switch between combustion engine and electric motor is hard to notice, say AutoWeek and ANWB.
- In the Netherlands the more powerful 30e xDrive is cheaper than the 20 xDrive: €68,887 against €83,968 (price list effective 1 December 2026).
- A larger boot than its predecessor: 570 litres in the versions without a plug (AutoWeek and BMW data).
- In AutoWeek's comparison the 30e xDrive narrowly beat the Mercedes GLC 300e, 32 points to 31.
Cons
- Hard plastics and coarse finishing on the doors and centre console that AutoWeek and ANWB say do not fit the price, and average infotainment with almost everything controlled via the screen.
- According to ANWB the plug-in hybrid cannot DC fast-charge.
- The plug-in hybrid's boot is smaller (460 litres) and awkwardly shaped by an intruding wheel arch, say AutoWeek and ANWB.
- Expensive, especially with options, according to ANWB.
- Poor rear visibility because of the large, angular body, according to ANWB.

What does the BMW X3 cost per month?
Example scenario: 5 years, 15,000 km a year
Worked out for the cheapest version: BMW X3 30e xDrive.
In an example scenario of 5 years and 15,000 km a year, the BMW X3 costs per month: fuel about €90 (WLTP consumption 3 l/100 km, €2.39 per litre (Euro95, CBS 2026-10-19)) and road tax €129 – €141 depending on the province, together €219 – €231 a month. That excludes depreciation, interest, insurance and maintenance. For a plug-in hybrid only the stated WLTP consumption is priced; the other part of the driving (electricity or fuel) is not in it.
| Cost item | Per month | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity or fuel | €90 | 3 l/100 km (WLTP, highest value) × €2.39 = €7.17 per 100 km; CBS 2026-10-19 |
| Road tax (MRB) | €129 – €141 | €387 – €423 a quarter in 2026, kerb weight 2,140 kg, all 12 provinces; averaged over 5 years at 2026 rates |
| Total of these two | €219 – €231 |
Not included: depreciation (we have no reliable value curve for new cars; enter your own resale value); interest (enter your own rate); insurance; maintenance and tyres.
