Performance

The mark of any great SUV is its ability to seamlessly transition from rip-roaring acceleration to gentle and relaxed cruising. The new X3 lets drivers stop having to choose between speed and capability by offering a standard 2.0L turbocharged inline‑4 mild hybrid (gas) engine that delivers up to 255 horsepower. And when properly equipped, it will tow up to 4,400 pounds. Consider its precise handling and silky-smooth ride quality via available all-wheel drive, and you'll wonder why you don't already drive a X3. The following list has more exciting specs and features available on this model:

• Standard xDrive all-wheel drive across the lineup
• Adaptive M suspension (available on sport trims)
• Improved aerodynamics for increased fuel efficiency and reduced drag
