Aside from Apple CarPlay and a digital speedo, this 2018 X3 has nothing my 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC doesn't already have. Except most of the tech and virtually all the safety gear in the GLC is standard, not optional.

Yeah the GLC looks very nice from the outside, but smaller rear seat room, class lagging boot space, and no where near the drive feel. GLC was originally my first choice, but the new X3 and XC60 are the two to beat in the class.

Adaptive suspension will not improve comfort over standard suspension. It is the 20” rims and “run-on-flat” tyres that give the bumpy ride. I just traded my really confortable 2013 X3 with 17” normal tyres and standard suspension, for a 2017 X4 35D with M-Sport package, 20” rims and adaptive suspension.

New Volvo suv ,s nice but will never consider the Volvo's they all come with VW engineered engine i do not believe Volvo are building their own engines yet. Land Rover also do not build their own engines are still using a Ford derived engine. For me it's all about authenticity.

At the end of the day there will be a massive depreciation on the volvo compared to the bmw. You might have a better looking car but it may not also last in build quality or reliability compared to BMW. Plus the BM is designed by an Aussie which is great.

Good generic review but unfortunately another one where the reviewer has just accepted the manufacturers stats and presented them as gospel. I think all reviewers have a responsibility to test the actual fuel consumption (easily done from the gauges) because most mfrs quoted consumption figures are generous by about 20 pct.

I have X5 made in SC. quality is TOTAL DISASTER. they cannot even make DOOR HANDLES. Material disintergrates and my X5 handles are gluey and have to be replaced. I will NEVER EVER GET A GERMAN CAR. Only Lexus for me. BMW quality SUCKS! My X5 transmission disntegrated at 190Kmiles because I FOLLOWED BMW/ZF recommendation of LIFETIME OIL. Soon later engine - where I replaced oil meticulously broke down ENTIRELY. I have a toyota with 2x miles. NO ISSUES AT ALL. BMW quality esp quality of materials and general engineering is DISASTER. FYI. TO TOW the car u need special red 'hammer' tool to disengage transmissionm into NEUTRAL to pull it on a truck. SAME THING in a Camry requires a PUSH of a button no special WEIRD IDIOT ENIGNEERING red hammers easy to lose. I will not mention the insane problems with getting parts for fuel pump recall forced on them by NHTSA. BMW dealers and BMW corporate had me stranded in California without parts for MONTHS. NO refund for all tows and hassles. TOTAL DISASTER COMPANY. Never again BMW
