2026 BMW X3 30 xDrive review – Petrol engine now packs a punch | First Drive | Autocar India

Automobiles



The petrol-powered BMW X3 finally gets the performance it deserves with the introduction of the 30 xDrive variant. With 258hp and 400Nm on tap, fatter rubber to exploit it, and M Sport Professional trinkets all around, it’s a much more serious proposition. But can it dethrone the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300? Lenny D’sa finds out.

  1. BMW totally lost it's design direction.
    Meh car's, meh engines, meh interiors now.
    And yes, I'm a prospective buyer of this segment. So it matters to me.

  2. Lenny D'sa, your review is impeccable man. The choice of words, the flow, the way you put together all the info are top notch. I think you are the guy behind Autocar quick news as your voice sounds very familiar. Keep up the good work man. 🎉👍

  3. Too complicated….too many unnecessary jazz in the name of tech…. why boost button, it should respond to the pedal. I don't want to pay to play with buttons
