Nowadays, drivers might find themselves hard-pressed to find a powerful and reasonably fuel-efficient Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) with all their luxury they want. However, the BMW X3 gives you a crossover SUV that you can feel proud of, blending economy and style in one great crossover. Shoppers in Pennsylvania looking to upgrade their crossover should consider the 2020 BMW X3, which we have available for sale or lease here at Sun Motor Cars BMW. Visit us at 6691 Carlisle Pike in Mechanicsburg, PA, to learn more; you will find us less than a 25-minute drive outside of the capital city Harrisburg.

General Overview

The 2020 BMW X3 takes its place among the third generation of this SUV, first introduced in 2004. Those loyal to the BMW brand might appreciate this SAV for its roomy and versatile interior, with lots of breathing room for both front and back seat passengers. They might also appreciate the range of features, both standard on all trim levels, and available when customizing. The BMW X3 invites shoppers nearby Lancaster to imagine the possibilities as they craft their next SAV to suit their adventuring needs.

Safety Features

In addition to receiving high marks for its style, the new BMW X3 also offers a lot of high-rated safety features. Many new car assessment programs (NCAPs) gave this SAV high-marks, including the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which provided the X3 with their highest honor of Top Safety Pick+. The BMW X3 equipped with several protective features, including a variety of airbags and an impact sensor, which helps to lessen the hazards from a collision by disconnecting the fuel pump, alternator, and automatically unlocking doors.

However, the BMW X3 also comes standard with many features that help prevent accidents from occurring in the first place. Each trim features LED headlights, fog lights, and Daytime Running Lights (DRL), which provide much clearer illumination during nighttime drives over their outdated halogen counterparts. The BMW X3 features the Active Guard system and many other driver-assistive features which can take control of certain vehicle functions as needed to prevent impacts. Standard driver-assist features include:

• Frontal Collision Warning
• Automatic City Collision Mitigation and Braking
• Daytime Pedestrian Detection
• Speed Limit Information
• Park Distance Control, front and rear
• Dynamic Cruise Control3

Interior/Technology

No matter which trim of the BMW X3 you choose, you can rest assured knowing you made the right choice when it comes to size and space. Unlike many other midsize crossovers, the BMW X3 does not force you to choose between you or your backseat passengers, in terms of space, as this midsize luxury SAV has plenty of room for all five passengers. Pop the trunk, and you will find 28.7 cubic feet of cargo volume, much more than you may find on even the average crossover. Once you need more space for skis, snowboards, or outer outdoor equipment, fold in the 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats to free up to 62.7 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats.

The interior of the BMW X3  provides a luxurious and welcoming environment, befitting a BMW. While many trims and packages give you the chance to style the X3 as you like it, you might enjoy all that the base trim level has to offer. The base BMW X3 sDrive30i comes standard with SensaTec vinyl upholstery with a dark oak wood trim. In the cockpit, you and your copilot can enjoy the 10-way power front sport seats, which include two-way power side bolsters and two-way manually-adjustable headrests. The X3 comes standard with a technophile's paradise for the long road trips outside York, especially the Live Cockpit Plus featuring Navigation, which comes with the iDrive 6.0, a touchpad controller, an 8.8-inch touchscreen, and natural voice commands.

BMW X3 Trim Levels

sDrive30i

Even the base trim of the BMW X3 comes loaded with lots of standard features and a powerful engine underneath its hood. This version of the SAV came powered by a 2.0-liter, 248 horsepower TwinPower Turbo inline four-cylinder engine with Double-VANOS and Valvetronic variable valve timing for increased air intake and added fuel economy. This SAV sits at a high ground clearance with twin-tube gas-pressure shock absorbers and five-link rear axle suspension to make virtually any terrain a breeze, with minimal disturbance in the cabin.

xDrive30i

This particular trim of the BMW X3 takes all of the performance metrics, safety, and style of the previous trim, with one major tweak: instead of sDrive rear-wheel drive, this trim comes standard with xDrive all-wheel drive. This drivetrain maximizes the potential of both axles, with responsive handling through electric power steering, and the full traction control to keep you stable when the roads in Lancaster become covered in snow. Other standard features of the xDrive30i include a HiFi 12-speaker sound system, rain-sensing windshield wipers, auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, and a universal garage door opener.

M40i

If you want to experience the full range of speed and performance the X3 can provide, look no further than the M40i. Underneath the hood of this trim, you will find a 382-horsepower M Performance TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine, which can jump to zero to 60 mph in less than five seconds. This version of the X3 also features M Performance Sport Exhaust, along with xDrive all-wheel drive and M Sport Suspension for optimal handling and steering. Other standard features include Advanced Vehicle and Key Memory, automatic three-zone climate control, and a panoramic moonroof with a two-piece glass panel and a power interior sunshade.
