2021 BMW X3 xDrive30e: Does the plug-in hybrid X3 make sense? 

I have had my X3 30e for almost 12 months, but due to Covid only travelled 6280 miles, of which 4339 have been electric miles. It costs me just under £2 to" fill" the battery (on a standard tariff, not off-peak). Overall very pleased with the car, and have been surprised at how much the battery is topped up automatically on journeys when in automatic hybrid mode. The "30 mile" range on electric power only applies if you switch to pure electric power, as that drains all the electricity before switching to petrol, otherwise on a 60-70 mile journey, over 40 electric miles easily achieved. A portion of battery power is reserved, and providing you have told the car via the SatNav where it is going, it will switch to electric power automatically as it nears the programmed destination

Rebeccas reviews are the favourite car reviews, keep it up...!! ✌✌🤙

Not watched car guru channel for a long time but Rebecca is why I subscribed

This was thee best review I have seen on this car, great work.

Happy new year Rebecca x

My day is better when I start it by watching Rebecca

Even Rebecca's charm can't keep me watching a video about an SUV.

Looking fantastic and happy new year

I love her videos,she is a great reviewer,welldone once again

True, it is just amazing. I love it already 🥰. Thanks.

Hey! A very happy new year, Rebecca. Hope you and yours are well and healthy. Love the way you do reviews with detailed information and also in an interesting way that keeps me glued to the review regardless of the car might not be sometime relevant to Indian market. Keep up. You’re still the same 👍

Great review!

We test drove one today. Nice, but the e only range is too short. Tomorrow I’m going on the list to buy the rav4 prime.

Excellent review. I own the Petro only version of this model, will wait until the distance improves on the electric before considering the Hybrid.

Very good review

is it exempted from london's ulez?

Rebecca has enough charm 😘to keep me watching and what a nice car to win or if you could afford it.

OMG !! ❤️🤤Nice car !

Seems like a great a great car, just abit disappointed that they cant seem to make a hybrid without havibg to plug it in, cant the car charge itself whilst using the petrol engine. Does anyone know how much it would cost to charge the battery?

Nice Review, i have 2 questions: 1. what are the differences between the X3 30e and X3 30i Engines? 2. what about the recall of so many PHEV BMW cars (including X3 30e) last year?..Thanks for your effort and time :)

what about consuption after you run out of battery charge?

My understanding is that the 2021 30e has an electric range of only 18 miles. You said that it tested out at 30?

I agree with boatmanbill . You can get very good fuel consumption. I drive a bmw530e and even with several long trips I get well over 100mpg on average. But don’t drive it like a motoring journalist.

Nice videos, but please, to UK outside viewers, could you even write all tech info in "european" way like km and kg. eg. consumtions on L/100km - thanks!

BMW says 30miles is estimated the best for commuting, is that 30 miles one way to work or both ways home to work and back again?

Has anyone ever wondered if the grid in your country is able to handle the load should everyone get an electric vehicle? Nice review, as usual. Frankly, you can have the vehicle. I prefer our reviewer.🤗👍🔥🥇🌹

It's all well and good but what is the regular MPG? I understand that depends on how often you charge but as for 30 miles on a charge, again I doubt that and if like me you're on a motorway commute to work it'll not be that good as 30 miles isn't enough for me and wouldn't be for many. Think I'll be sticking with my diesel thanks.

X3 M40d still the best until the hybrid can get past 60 miles.

Don't agree although your correct BMW's are fashion statements now. My experience is BMW's don't last very long, probably a consequence of BMW cutting corners and using low quality parts with reduced lifespans for all the important mechanical parts, focusing only on style and image. Sure they look pretty, if all you do is a low mileage then a BMW is fine, but if you want a well engineered machine which will last many years I'd steer clear of BMW. Mercedes have some nice PVEVs now, was looking on their website, I wouldn't be surprised if a Merc lasted 2 or 3 times as long as a BMW. Or Tesla's are designed to do one million miles, you'd need seven BMW's to last that mileage if my last two BMW's were anything to go by.

Glove box looks tiny!

Cost 🤷‍♂️

When I hear Rebecca talking, my blood pressure goes up ;-))... And I like it.... She's very informative and a damn good driver too :-))... Nice one Becs. Happy New Year to you gorgeous and the rest of the Gurus crew :-))...

Is this car phonetic blue?

Great review of a lovely car I absolutely despise electric cars as they're dangerous in so many ways plus the range is awful but I would consider a hybrid as you can still travel as far as your want without charging every 150 odd miles! Happy New year Rebecca you're the best! 💚👍

Shame on this suv, such small boot.....that batterys destroys all space.

The SUV PLUG-IN IS THE BEST ELECTRIC DRIVING, NOT THE 100% electric. Long distance a ramp.

Need lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️

Endless money pit....lease never buy it

Looks so ugly and dated in comparison to Toyota CHR.
