2 Answers
The differences between BMW X1 and X3 are: 1. Different classes: The BMW X1 is a compact SUV; the BMW X3 is a midsize SUV. 2. Different engine displacements: The BMW X1 has engine displacements of 1.5T and 2.0T; the BMW X3 has an engine displacement of 2.0T. Taking the 2021 BMW X1 sDrive20Li Fashion model as an example, its length, width, and height are 4565mm, 1821mm, and 1620mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 103kW and a maximum torque of 220Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've recently been considering a car change and compared the BMW X1 and X3. The X1 is smaller in size, super flexible for parking, and easy to drive in the city, making it suitable for young people's daily commutes. It saves a lot of money in terms of price, with a much lower starting price. The trunk is sufficient for weekend shopping, but the rear space is compact and not suitable for tall people. The X3 is much larger, offering higher comfort for passengers, making family outings less cramped, and providing more spacious luggage capacity. In terms of power, the X3 is slightly stronger, with more exciting acceleration, but it also consumes more fuel. The maintenance costs for both are similar, with X3 parts being slightly more expensive. Overall, the X1 offers better value for money. If you're on a tight budget or driving alone, it's the better choice.
