BMW X series - BMW X3 2015, 2016, interior, exterior
The 2016, 2017 BMW X3 got a mid-cycle refresh, bringing a set of significant changes, as well as some new variants in the model lineup, while for the most part preserving all the fundamentals. New twin-circular headlights (with optional LED lamps) were the most noticeable part of it, plus a more flamboyant version of the BMW kidney grille, exterior mirrors with integrated signal lamps, and some other minor changes to the front and rear appearance. Inside, the X3 manages to be elegant but soft, calming, and decluttered—actually blending a driver-centric cockpit feel with the brand's warmer interior look.
Otherwise, the 2016, 2017 BMW X3 family continues with its all-turbocharged engine lineup, including the new TwinPower four-cylinder that makes 240 hp and 260 lb-ft. It's the perkiest and most V-6-like of the current crop of German turbo fours, and moves the X3 with no hesitation, foot to the floor. New this year is a rear-wheel-drive sDrive28i model, for those in warmer-weather climates, that should be even a bit more spirited for the lack of all-wheel-drive weight.
With the xDrive35i, you get a 300-hp, 300 lb-ft TwinPower six that sizzles to a 60-mph acceleration time of 5.5 seconds, and to a top speed of 150 mph. As we've noted in repeated drives of various X3 variants, it's all a little disconcerting how agile and athletic this vehicle can feel—because the seating height is so tall, yet it lacks the squat, nosedive, and excess motions that in this class are quite common.
All X3 versions except for that base sDrive28i come with BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system, which splits power delivery 40/60 percent. It sends 60 percent of torque to the rear wheels in normal driving but can flex to send 100 percent to the rear; we've found it is especially good for maintaining traction and poise when the road surface is slippery.
