Is the power of BMW X3 25i sufficient?
1 Answers
The BMW X3 is positioned as an SUV model, with the latest version introducing a new concept of sporty functionality for SUVs, equipped with the latest all-wheel-drive system. It features an 8-speed automatic transmission and a 2.5L engine, providing the sporty feel that the BMW X series pursues. In terms of acceleration: the BMW X3 25i is powered by a 2.0T engine with a maximum power output of 184 horsepower. During a day of test driving, the power did not show any signs of weakness. Driving in areas with altitudes between 3,000 to 4,000 meters had no impact on the vehicle's power performance. Although the acceleration does not provide a strong push-back sensation, it does not feel slow either. Instead, it accelerates steadily and continuously, quickly reaching the desired speed. When flooring the throttle for overtaking, the X3 accelerates swiftly, enabling clean and decisive overtaking. For daily use, the power performance of the 25i is more than sufficient. Power-wise: Many people might worry that 184 horsepower is not enough, but rest assured, this lower-power engine has ample low-end torque (torque represents the vehicle's pulling power). Pressing the throttle firmly makes the car surge forward, and even without using the sport mode, it can provide a push-back sensation. Reaching 160 km/h on the highway is effortless, and even 200 km/h is achievable without any issues.
