Sharper design, hybrid muscle and a cabin that finally matches its price tag.

The all-new BMW X3 lands with sharper styling, a hybrid-heavy engine range and one of the best cabins in the class. Cyprus buyers get the 30e plug-in hybrid as the sweet-spot model — around 90 km of electric range plus a punchy 2.0-litre turbo.

Handling remains the X3’s calling card. Steering is precise, body control is excellent and the chassis feels alive even at sensible speeds along the Larnaca–Limassol motorway.

The new curved display looks the part and iDrive 9 is quick, though we still miss physical climate controls.
