Insurance rating class (Germany)Dated, data up to and including 2024

Applies to all generations of this model

Always correct for age. A group of younger cars is not automatically more reliable

  • GDV rating class: X3

    According to the GDV rating-class register (rate year 2024), X3 has KH 17-22 (scale 10-25), VK 14-30 (scale 10-34), TK 18-29 (scale 10-33). Note: this range comes from 92 known engine variants in this rate year. GDV only looks at make and model here, not at the generation. With a count this high, several model generations may be pooled together. Note: this is an index figure or rating class, an insurance statistic about the whole model. It is not a chance of defects and not a prediction for this car.
