Mar 18, 2022 · The X3 felt smoother and somehow sportier to drive, but I did not like the clunky interior. It feels outdated and the digital gauge cluster is a mess and a little hard to see sometimes. It also felt smaller than the Q5, and I personally do not like the exterior styling of …

X3 Pros: Better powertrain tuning, felt more exhilarating to drive, 2nd row headroom, preferred the interior layout, better fuel economy, B58 / ZF8 reputation for reliability X3 Cons: BMW packages are complicated and hard to find for relatively basic features (e.g. adaptive cruise is rare for used 2021s and 2024s still), non-adaptive and ...

Jan 23, 2023 · X3 is definitely the best SUV among these. Audi interiors aren't as nice or have an as good infotainment. iDrive 7 is such a huge pro. The X3 also drives better and personally, looks nicer with more presence. I think the Q5 is cheaper and probably has more standard features. Either is fine, but the X3 is better.

May 21, 2023 · I saw a video of that they took apart glc ,,X3, q5, and NX. After 62k mileage. Q5 was oil leaking and trashed out. NX was fine, glc lots of oil in engine and little leak. X3 no oil and little oil in engine and need to be clean. I would take the X3 if nx is not your choice.

Mar 19, 2023 · I drove my friends x3 and liked it a lot but the lease pricing ended up making it $150/month more than the q5 and I couldn’t convince the wife. Cargo space was the best of the bunch although sport mode felt overly aggressive with downshifts and holding the revs. I think Audi does a much better job at sport mode.

Nov 3, 2021 · The current generation X3 six cylinder is very robust and you really should not have any issues with it outside of going through tires quickly. The Audi is a very nice vehicle however I don't like the new dual-screen thing they have going they should have kept it like that used to.

Feb 22, 2021 · Looking for opinions on the '21 Audi SQ5 vs BMW X3 M40i. I will be purchasing a new car later this year...likely in the summer unless the perfect model appears on a local lot ahead of time...I'm always looking. Previous cars: 1997 Audi A4 2.8 V6 2008 Infiniti G37S coupe 2012 Mercedes GLK350 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0t

This is a question for owners of the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. For context, my budget purchasing a used car is about 32-33k, I don’t intend to spend more than that. I have test driven both cars and have also rented a 2023 Q5 in the past (yes, that’s newer than I can afford).

BMW x3 m40i more reliable, better gas mileage, way more storage room (the most important thing of an SUV), way faster, higher quality materials, and way better steering rack. Audi sq5 stronger transmission, more capable awd system, interior looks nicer, much cheaper.

Jun 20, 2024 · The X3 is new generation for 2025 model year we are comparing it to 2026 Audi Q5 which will be release less than year from now. The 2026 Q5 expect to be revealed this summer or fall 2024 go on sale between March and May 2025.
