The BMW X3 (G08) is the plug-in hybrid electric version of the G01 X3, offering drivers the versatility of a premium mid-size SUV with the added benefit of electric driving efficiency. Launched in Australia around 2020 under the badge X3 xDrive30e, the G08 combines a 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor to deliver a combined output of around 215kW – while allowing short-distance zero-emissions driving.
With an all-electric range of approximately 40–50 km (real-world), the X3 G08 is perfect for city commutes without sacrificing the freedom of a traditional drivetrain. It retains the same high-quality cabin, spacious boot, and balanced handling as its G01 sibling, but adds regenerative braking, drive mode flexibility, and improved fuel economy.
