Car shopping can be fun, especially when finding a car that you think looks nice. But when it comes to the 2020 BMW X3
vs. the 2020 BMW X5, the differences lie predominantly below the surface: The 2020 X3 comes standard with a 2.0L, four-cylinder engine, which can offer just under 250 hp.
The 2020 X5, on the other hand, sports a 3.0L, turbo-charged 6-cylinder engine, and nearly doubles the X3’s horsepower.
As a result of its larger engine, the X5 is also a slightly bigger vehicle—-you’ll get a total of 72.3 cubic feet of storage in the X5, whereas the X3 will offer you slightly less at 62.7 cubic feet.
On the flip side, the X3 gets better gas mileage, with an average fuel economy of 25 city/29 highway miles per gallon. The X5, by contrast, gets 21 city/26 highway miles per gallon.
When deciding between the two, it will come down to personal preference and driving style.
