2026 CarExpert Choice winner: Best Luxury Mid-Size SUV
Distinctive styling inside and out, standout technology and classic BMW dynamic excellence make the X3 a winner.

2026 BMW X3
In 2026, the X3 gave comparison shoppers a familiar option in its segment with a clear ownership pitch. The showroom context is simple: the BMW X3 is the brand's core mid-size luxury SUV, sitting at the centre of the BMW range for families and private buyers. The strongest reasons to consider it were premium cabin presentation, everyday usability, all-wheel-drive confidence and a more dynamic feel than many SUV rivals. With the 2026 calendar year still underway, the useful context is its role in the range rather than a partial sales total. Its benchmark rivals were Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Volvo XC60.
