It is difficult to compare the X3 PHEV with its rivals. BMW has not released official fuel economy figures, but it did say that the X3 PHEV will provide 20 miles on pure electric power. This information will likely be available in the coming months. It will allow us to compare the model with the Volvo XC60 and Mercedes GLC350e.

Smart packaging gives the X3PHEV an advantage over other competitors. It places the battery underneath the rear seat and moves the fuel tank up to the top of the rear axle. The crossover’s cargo area is slightly limited by this. It measures 15.89 cubic feet (450 Liters) with the rear seats raised and 52.97 cubic feet (1,500 Liters) when the seats are folded down.

BMW should have all this information, as well as pricing and packages available, soon. BMW stated that production would begin in December, less then a month after the unveiling of the model by BMW earlier this year.
