The verdict is in: The BMW X3 has cruised to victory as the 2025 South African car of the year (COTY), outshining some fierce competition and waving the flag proudly for locally made luxury. Assembled right here in Mzansi at the BMW Group Plant in Rosslyn, Pretoria, this refined ride blends performance, tech, and style in a way that’s hard to beat.
It’s not every day that a car walks the red carpet as both a premium SUV and a symbol of South African automotive excellence… But the BMW X3 did just that. And we’re here for it!
Who came close?
The BMW X3 had stiff competition, but stood head and grille above:
- Suzuki Swift : The zippy underdog, big on charm and fuel savings.
- BMW M5 Hybrid: Beastly, but elegant. Like a lion in a tux.
- Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max: A value-packed SUV that’s turning heads.
