BMW X3's competitors in the same class are the Audi Q5L and Mercedes-Benz GLC. BMW X3: Equipped with BMW's patented xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system, it combines the appearance of a sports utility vehicle with innovative design. This car boasts high aesthetics, spacious comfort, and is also BMW's first sports leisure vehicle. For the interior, the new model adds black and beige color options, features a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard supporting touch and knob operations, and a heads-up display (HUD) system, enhancing a strong sense of technology. The panoramic sunroof on top also increases the interior lighting and transparency. BMW X3 Configuration: The engine options include high, medium, and low power versions of a 2.0T turbocharged engine. The low-power version has a maximum power of 135 kW and a peak torque of 290 Nm. The medium-power version offers a maximum power of 165 kW and a peak torque of 310 Nm. The high-power version delivers a maximum power of 185 kW and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The transmission system is an 8-speed automatic manual gearbox, with a combined fuel consumption of 7.9L-8.0L.
The BMW X3 belongs to the midsize luxury SUV segment. As a user who frequently travels with family, I consider its main competitors to include the Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, Volvo XC60, and Land Rover Range Rover Velar. These vehicles offer spacious interiors, sufficient for baby seats and luggage, with varying driving experiences—the GLC excels in comfort with excellent seat support; the Q5 leads in tech features with an advanced dashboard; the XC60 tops in safety with perfect crash test scores; while the Velar stands out in off-road capability. When comparing prices during my car selection, the X3 starts just over 400,000 yuan, the GLC is slightly more expensive by about 50,000 yuan, and the XC60 offers great value for money. In practical use, I often go on weekend road trips—the Q5 feels most stable on highways, while the X3's agility shines in urban traffic, making it ideal for families.
