The 2021 BMW X3 xDrive30e is the Bavarians’ first plug-in hybrid for the X3 lineup. It has a nicely packaged battery just in front of the rear axle that adds 17-18 miles of pure electric driving at speeds up to 83 mph. The BMW X3 30e has a base MSRP of $49,600 which is $4,600 more than the gasoline-powered BMW X3 30i version. Of course, the extra cost is more than offset by the $5,836 federal tax rebate and added efficiency. Though you might think you should buy the X3 30e just for the plug-in hybrid\u2019s fuel savings, I\u2019d argue you might like the way it drives better than the X3 30i. I really like the way there is zero, and I mean zero turbo lag in the X3 30e. Electric motors are instantaneous.<\/p>\n
