2020 BMW X3 30e: Electrified for a bit of potent punch

The little German crossover goes a bit more green with plug-in power.

Emme Hall
I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

Take a gander at the new X3 xDrive30e, an all-wheel-drive crossover with plenty of torque and 20 miles of all-electric range.

The X3 30e takes the powertrain right out of the 330e and plunks it under its hood.

A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is combined with an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Together they're good for 288 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque.
