BMW X3

 

 

Crossover, Premium 

When looking at the high-end of the crossover class, the competition can be somewhat daunting with models from Lexus, Infiniti, and Mercedes-Benz populating the segment.  But the BMW X3 was able to stare down the challengers and use its low maintenance and fuel costs to help drive its way to Vincentric’s Best Value in America™ award for 2008.
