BMW X3 vs. Audi SQ5
If you're looking for top-tier performance, the BMW X3 M40i has you covered with a competitive 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo engine, producing an impressive 382 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque that can send you from 0 to 60 mph in around 4.4 seconds. Even though the Audi SQ5 also comes with a 3.0-liter turbocharged powertrain, it only produces 349 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque while completing the 0 to 60 sprint in 4.7 seconds. Plus, the BMW X3 M goes above and beyond with an available 473 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque for a thrilling experience near Waukee.
BMW X3 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLC
When it comes to staying connected on the go near Ames, the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC both offer 12.3-inch Digital Instrument Cluster displays as well as smartphone connectivity through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. However, the BMW X3 offers a 12.3-inch Central Information Display, while the Mercedes-Benz GLC only offers an 11.9-inch central touchscreen. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz GLC forces drivers to access climate control settings through the onboard touchscreen, while the BMW X3 provides physical controls that are easily accessible.
BMW X3 vs. Alfa Romeo Stelvio
While the Alfa Romeo Stelvio has exterior looks that are equally impressive, the BMW X3 outperforms the Stelvio when it comes to interior layout and utility. BMW X3 models feature an amazing 28.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to 62.7 cubic feet of total cargo space. In comparison, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio only delivers 18.5 cubic feet of rear cargo space with a maximum cargo capacity of up to 56.5 cubic feet, meaning you'll have to leave gear behind during your next road trip beyond Marshalltown.
