Plus, there’s plenty of room to relax when you’re inside your X3, and up above, an available panoramic moonroof expands the cabin even more, giving you a breathtaking view of the skies above.

Now that you’ve seen how these two luxury SUVs compare, you’ll see why we prefer the 2023 BMW X3. The X3 simply offers more when it comes to power, convenience and technology features — in other words, everything you want from a sporty, luxurious SUV. The X3 is capable of 47 more horsepower than the Audi Q5, thanks to the BMW model’s 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline four-cylinder, 16-valve engine. When you’re driving and see a storm in the distance, don’t worry: Your BMW has your back. The standard rain-sensing windshield wipers automatically detect moisture on your windshield and activate on their own, allowing you to focus with a clear view of the road ahead. When you pick the perfect soundtrack for your drive, the standard HiFi Sound System (complete with a 205-watt digital amplifier and 12 speakers) will surround you with heavenly sound. Finally, you’ll never struggle to see your speed, gas level or RPMs on the generous 12.3-inch Live Cockpit Plus display that’s positioned comfortably in your line of sight..
