Used 2023 BMW X3 for sale near Bath

The 2023 BMW X3 is comfortable to be in, feels very well built and – perhaps most significantly – is brilliant to drive. There are more comfortable alternatives (like the Volvo XC60) or ones that feel more pin-sharp to drive (the Jaguar F-Pace), and there is no seven-seat option, or fuel-efficient two-wheel-drive version. However, few – if any – premium SUVs deliver the same breadth of capabilities overall as the genuinely impressive 2023 BMW X3. The fact that it’s offered in such a broad variety of trims, engine options and price points (including a plug-in hybrid) also makes it a great choice for a wide range of buyers.
## Strengths: More fun to drive than most rivals
A wide choice of efficient petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid engines
Spacious and comfortable cabin
## Weaknesses: Sportier versions have a firm ride
Not as able off road as a Land Rover
No seven-seat option
## Is the 2023 BMW X3 better than the 2023 Volvo XC60? The 2023 Volvo XC60 is a smoother, more comfortable, more relaxing car than the 2023 BMW X3 but, ultimately, it’s not as exciting to drive, nor does it feel quite as well polished when it comes to build quality. The Volvo’s range of engine choices is more limited, too.
