2018-2021 BMW X3
Compact Luxury Crossover
The X3 combines some of the best on-road handling with one of the largest rear seat spaces in the entry luxury crossover class. This five-passenger vehicle offers the on-road feel and luxury interior appointments of the sports sedans than make BMWs desirable, but it has the cargo capacity of a compact crossover. The usefulness of the X3 is enhanced by optional all-wheel drive. Its ability to be a sports crossover helps this earn a recommendation from Consumer Reports.

Child Seat Anchors (LATCH) Ease of Use
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) is a system of attachment hardware for child restraints. Although child restrainst can be installed properly by using vehicle safety belts, LATCH is intended to make the correct installation easier.
The LATCH ratings are an indicator of how easy it is to achieve a correct, tight installation of a child restraint in a given vehicle when using the dedicated child restraint attachment hardware. As long as a restraint is properly installed, the LATCH rating doesn’t have any bearing on safety.
