Pros Chassis tuning like BMWs of old, improved interior, plenty of passenger and cargo space.
Cons Imprecise variable-ratio steering, goofy electronic shifter, the entry-level four pales next to the six-cylinder.
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 No electrified version yet Relatively heavy steering

While many vehicles in this class are similarly priced, the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover bucks convention and costs almost as much as larger compact crossovers. Still, the Evoque's substantial list of standard features and superior off-road performance could make it worth the financial stretch for the right buyer.
PROS Striking exterior and interior design Available convertible variant is the only one of its kind Fun to drive
CONS Limited visibility, especially for the convertible Not a lot of backseat space Premium pricing compared to subcompact competitors
