| Sport Utility | Original MSRP / Price | Engine | Horsepower | City MPG / Hwy MPG | Transmission | Drive |

The X3 comes with standard stability control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes, and six airbags (front, front-side, full-length side-curtain). The numerous available safety technologies include a new lane-departure warning system for 2013.
The government hasn't crash-tested the X3, but the independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the X3 its highest rating of "Good" in every category.
| Basic | 4 Years/50,000 Miles |
| Drivetrain | 4 Years/50,000 Miles |
| Corrosion | 12 Years/Unlimited Miles |
| Roadside Assistance | 4 Years/Unlimited Miles Assist Safety Plan |
| Maintenance | 4 Years/50,000 Miles |
Audi Q5: The Q5 feels nearly as athletic as the X3, and we prefer its styling. A must-drive with the optional supercharged V6.
Cadillac SRX: Aside from that edgy styling, the SRX's calling card is its recently introduced 3.6-liter V6, which pumps out a healthy 308 horsepower.
Volvo XC60: The XC60's available turbocharged inline-6 is a winner, and we like this crossover's sensible, well-rounded nature.
A modest budget can go a long way in the used luxury SUV market.
