We assume the X3 30d that’s due in a few months will get lower profile tyres that could give it a harsher ride for better dynamics. Expansion joints and undulations are flattened out by these dampers and the 55 profile tyres are just right for our road conditions. It gives such a cosseting ride over all kinds of surfaces, and it gets more evident as speeds increase. It’s just faultless, especially the xLine variant with its dynamic dampers. ![]() This second generation X3 just does this so well that it’s hard to find a reason to buy any other car at this price if ride, handling and driving convenience is all you seek. Let’s find out if it does.īMW built the first generation X3 a decade ago solely with the purpose of merging two worlds – the space, ride and command of an SUV with the driving dynamics of a sporty sedan. It has to deliver equally on luxury and driving dynamics to make its case as a result. Which means it doesn’t just compete with the likes of the Audi Q5 but also the set of sedans in its price band. The X3 is also a shamelessly road-biased SUV. This unit while in displacement and output is similar to the engine it replaces, it promises better performance, refinement and efficiency. The 2014 BMW X3 is the first car from the Bavarian carmaker to get their latest generation 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel. On the face of it, quite literally, is the new styling that we will elaborate in detail ahead but it is the engine update that the X3 gets that aims to make it a worthy buy in the Rs 50-60 lakh SUV space. With that, hopes of the 2014 BMW X3 getting a similar level update rose and as I got to drive this SUV for the first time a couple of days ago, the first thought that came to mind was how very contemporary this update has made the X3. When BMW gave the X5 the nip and tuck treatment, we were thoroughly impressed with the extent of the update. ![]()
