BMW X3
A year after its complete redesign, which earned it a place among the three finalists for the World Car of the Year award, this compact luxury SUV remains a benchmark in its class, especially in terms of driving dynamics and technology. In typical BMW fashion, the X3 delivers a healthy dose of power whether with four or six cylinders (255 or 393 horsepower). As for trunk space, the X3 is more generous than average. A coupe-like X4 variant is no longer offered, by the way.
