Sip fuel in a thrifty fashion with the BMW X3 xDrive30e plug-in

The plug-in hybrid SUV will provide about 20 miles of all-electric range.

It all started with Gran Turismo. From those early PlayStation days, Sean was drawn to anything with four wheels. Prior to joining the Roadshow team, he was a freelance contributor for Motor Authority, The Car Connection and Green Car Reports. As for what's in the garage, Sean owns a 2016 Chevrolet SS, and yes, it has Holden badges.

It'll go about 20 miles purely on electricity before the engine kicks on.

Power flows to all four wheels via an all-wheel-drive system.

Aside from the badges, it looks a lot like a normal X3.
