A car can have\u00a0all of\u00a0the technical aspects right, but if it is boring to drive, then you are going to pass on it.\u00a0You need something that can get the heart racing when you rev the engine. The 2020 BMW X3 offers two different engines that aim to give you that experience.<\/p>\n<h2>2020 BMW X3 Engine Options<\/h2>\n<p>The engine is the beating heart of any car. The 2020 BMW X3 offers a hearty engine to start but can be outfitted with something sportier if preferred. The first engine is a 2.0L\u00a0inline-4 design meaning the four cylinders of the engine are arranged in a line. A turbocharger is also added to the engine to help it generate more power without using more fuel. It can generate 248 horsepower and 258\u00a0lb-ft of torque. What does that mean for its fuel economy? The X3 has an EPA-estimated combined 27 mpg.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrc-column-grid wrc-column-grid-2\">\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-start\" >\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-989 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/169\/2020\/08\/21174736\/2020-BMW-X3-B_o.jpg\" alt=\"front quarter view of the 2020 BMW X3 off-roading\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/169\/2020\/08\/21174736\/2020-BMW-X3-B_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/169\/2020\/08\/21174736\/2020-BMW-X3-B_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-end\" >\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-988 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/169\/2020\/08\/21174731\/2020-BMW-X3-B1_o.jpg\" alt=\"side view of the 2020 BMW X3\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/169\/2020\/08\/21174731\/2020-BMW-X3-B1_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/169\/2020\/08\/21174731\/2020-BMW-X3-B1_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .wrc-column-grid --><\/p>\n<p>How well does the other engine perform?\u00a0To start, it is a bit bigger than its counterpart.
