There’s a spec and powertrain for most needs.
The latest BMW X3 offers plenty of space, great tech and safety features, and delivers one of the most enjoyable driving experiences of any compact SUV. Few of the X3’s leasing rivals are as well rounded and fun to drive. The wide range of trims and engines available should cover most drivers' needs.
The BMW X3 has plenty of space in the cabin for up to 5 people, and 550 litres of boot space with the rear seats up. The total luggage area is a generous 1600 litres. There is no 7-seat option though.
Efficient petrol and diesel engines give the BMW X3 impressive fuel economy figures. The 190hp 4-cylinder diesel does 47.9mpg, while the 286hp 6-cylinder diesel is not far behind at 45.6mpg. Both have mild-hybrid tech, which helps to improve the X3’s economy figures.
The 2.0-litre petrol manages a combined 36.7mpg, but if you want the best on-paper economy then the xDrive30e plug-in hybrid adds a 109hp electric motor to this same 4-cylinder engine to deliver a claimed 148.7mpg. This figure will vary greatly depending on how often you use the 31 miles of all-electric range.
Our BMW X3 lease deals mean you'll get a new car for a fixed monthly fee for the duration of your contract. You have the freedom to customise your lease agreement to your liking, including the contract length, annual mileage, and upfront payment amount. If you choose a BMW X3 business lease, you may be eligible to reclaim up to 100% of the VAT, if your company meets the right criteria.
You can also add car maintenance and servicing expenses to your lease agreement. At the end of the contract, simply return the vehicle.

The X3 sits between the smaller BMW X2 and the larger BMW X4, which is similar to the X3 but with coupe styling. The performance model of the X3 is the BMW X3 M Competition.
BMW offers a 3-year warranty on all new vehicles and the plug-in-hybrid comes with an additional 6-year, 60,000-mile warranty on the battery pack so you can lease the X3 worry free.
The M Performance models consist of the petrol-powered 360hp M40i (31.4mpg) and diesel M40d (43.5mpg). Both offer strong performance figures, with the 0-62mph dash taking slightly less than 5 seconds.
The 510hp X3M Competition is the one to have if you prefer that figure to be closer to the 4-second mark. Just make sure you are happy with the 24.8mpg combined fuel economy.
The BMW X3 is a popular SUV to lease, thanks to its overall capability and impressive range of engine and trim options. It is both practical and sporty, making it suitable for a variety of motoring needs.
