In this 2019 BMW X3 review, we at BMW of Arlington will give you a closer look at what the X3 has to offer when it comes to performance, interior space, and technology features. Let’s get started by taking a look under the hood to see what makes this model move!

Performance Specifications

The BMW X3 offers two powerful engine options, starting with a standard 2.0L inline 4-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine. This standard engine, which works alongside an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission, makes a respectable 258 lb-ft of torque and 248 horsepower.

Maximize your power output with the new 3.0L M Performance TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder inline engine. With this engine, you’ll have 355 horsepower and a whopping 365 lb-ft of torque at your disposal. You’ll also get plenty of efficiency with this power thanks to the X3’s standard Auto Start-Stop function.

The X3 also offers two drivetrain options for you choose from. Stick with the standard rear-wheel drivetrain or upgrade to the available xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system. This available system enhances your traction on the road, no matter what kind of conditions you’re driving in.

Spacious & Luxurious Interior

The 2019 BMW X3’s interior sports five spacious seats and plenty of cargo room, even when you leave all five seats in place. Regardless of its status as a compact SUV, this model offers more than enough wiggle room for every passenger in the X3 with these spacious passenger area dimensions:

In addition to having plenty of room for passengers big and tall, this model gives you more than enough room for all of your cargo. With all five seats upright and in place, you’ll have 28.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats.

For the most cargo space, fold down all three of the rear seats to make the most of the 62.7 total cubic feet that the X3 offers. With this kind of space, you’ll be able to pack in a weekend’s worth of camping supplies, the kids’ sports equipment, full-size suitcases, and more.

On top of all of this space, you’ll also have quite a few comfort features to take advantage of. This model is standardly equipped with 10-way power-adjustable front sports seats that can also be heated or swapped out for premium 14-way power-adjustable front seats.

You’ll also have an automatic 3-zone climate control system, which allows you to set three different temperatures to keep everyone comfortable, and a heated steering wheel to keep you hands nice and warm during the winter months.

Top-of-the-Line Technology

The interior of the 2019 BMW X3 is packed with all kinds of handy technology features. Standardly, you’ll have an iDrive infotainment system with a wide display and plenty of helpful features. For starters, you’ll get a BMW Navigation Professional system that provides turn-by-turn directions and advanced real-time traffic information.

This system also offers Bluetooth®, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, smartphone app integration, and even real-time weather updates. With split-screen capability, you’ll be able to access three of these features at a time so you’re always in the loop.

Either use the touchscreen to navigate through the iDrive infotainment system or available Gesture Control. Gesture Control uses state-of-the-art sonar technology to pick up on your pre-selected hand gestures and perform selected functions, including rejecting phone calls and changing the audio volume.

The X3 also offers a wireless charging pad to keep all your devices juiced up for when you reach your destination as well as an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. Use this hotspot to stay connected and in the loop, no matter where you’re heading.

Advanced Active Safety Features

On top of the many different entertainment and convenience features that the 2019 BMW X3 gives you, the X3 also offers a variety of advanced active safety features to choose from, including:

• Blind Spot Detection, which keeps an eye on your blind spots on either side of the vehicle and warns you of vehicles in them
• Front and rear cross traffic alert, which use sensors and cameras to monitor oncoming traffic so you can pull out and back up with confidence
• Head-up Display, which projects important driving information on the windshield right in your line of sight so you don’t have to look away from the road
• Lane departure warning, which monitors your lane lines while you’re driving and warns you if you begin to diverge from your lane so you can correct your path
• Active Lane Keeping Assist, which also monitors your lane lines, like lane departure warning, but automatically corrects your path with gentle steering nudges

Park with ease with Parking Assistant Plus and Active Park Distance Control. You’ll also have access to an available Surround View 3D View camera that gives you a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of your vehicle’s surroundings.
