Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2019 BMW X3 is a versatile compact crossover that delivers on rising expectations.

Pros
Handsome exterior
Responsive and sharp powertrains
Standard automatic emergency braking this year
Good outward vision
Ample interior room

Cons
Can easily reach more than $60,000
CarPlay with a subscription? Really?
Conservative compared to competitors

Relatively heavy steering

The 2019 BMW X3 ranked #5 in Luxury Compact SUVs. Currently the BMW X3 has a score of 8.6 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 13 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Powerful engines
Nimble handling
Spacious, supportive seats
Above-average cargo capacity

Cons
Rivals are more opulent inside
Above-average starting price

By:

Fifteen years ago, it might have been difficult to foresee the success of the X3. Back then, BMW's 3 Series wagon set the standard for the class and offered all the practicality you could want in a vehicle that size. Why get something that didn't handle as well and got worse fuel economy? But that original 2004 X3 helped pioneer the entry-level luxury SUV class, and the 2019 X3 is now a hugely important staple in the BMW lineup.

Pros
Both available engines are fuel-efficient and powerful
Wide variety of standard and optional features for personalization
Plenty of room for front and rear passengers

Cons
Android Auto is conspicuously absent from the options list

New Cayenne Coupe, Cayenne S Coupe and Cayenne Turbo Coupe models.Features swoopy coupe roofline and wider track at the expense of rear headroom.2+2 standard seating configuration, but a bench rear seat is a no-cost option.Part of the third Cayenne generation introduced for 2019.

Pros
Truly impressive handling for a crossover SUV
Wide selection of powerful engines available
Exquisite interior and build quality
Plenty of customization options

Cons
Quite a few optional features should be standard given the price tag
Gloss-black interior panels can look dirty almost immediately
Poor rear visibility
Fans are weak at low speeds and too noisy at high speeds

Not many automakers know coupes as well as Porsche—the brand made famous by the iconic 911—so it's surprising we've had to wait this long for a coupe version of its popular Cayenne SUV. The fastback SUV will be cruising into Porsche dealerships in October 2019.

Porsche's Cayenne Coupe has hit local hot-mix. But which of the fresh-face three-tier range is our pick of fast SUV pack?

Pros
Good spread of pricing and choice
Handsome coupe styling
Little compromise in practicality
Turbo's stonking performance

Cons
Standard four-seat format is daft
Pricey options
Turbo thirst
No sportier to drive than the wagon
