BMW X3 xDrive 35i Crossover Cars
The BMW X3 xDrive 35i is a powerful and sporty crossover designed to offer drivers a premium driving experience. The vehicle's 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine delivers 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, providing ample power for accelerating quickly or cruising effortlessly on the open road. The xDrive all-wheel drive system helps ensure that power is delivered evenly to all four wheels, making it suitable for any terrain.
This SUV is particularly suited to New Zealand conditions with the steep hills of both cities and countryside being easy work for this agile car. Even with its impressive power, the X3 xDrive 35i still offers excellent fuel efficiency, making it ideal for longer journeys or daily commutes.
The cabin is spacious, luxurious and fitted out with modern features to create an overall comfortable and enjoyable ride. The infotainment system includes navigation as standard as well as parking assistance, rearview camera etc. New Zealand being primarily left-hand drive vehicles has caused issues for new car owners not familiar with their reversing capability when reversing around obstacles like shopping carts or lamp posts on busy city streets.
With a total of 550 liters of cargo space, the BMW X3 can easily accommodate large items such as sports equipment or luggage without sacrificing passenger comfort. Safety features include active head restraints to protect occupants in the event of a collision as well as numerous airbags placed throughout the cabin.
As one would expect from BMW there are ample options which are important to look at if you choose to purchase this vehicle. One such feature I recommend are winter tyres that maintain their traction in icy and snowy conditions which may come in useful when planning a trip away to areas like Mount Cook National Park over winter break.
Overall, the BMW X3 xDrive 35i Crossover offers an excellent combination of luxury, power, and efficiency that make it an attractive option for those seeking an upscale crossover suitable for New Zealand driving conditions.
