Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW iX than in the Audi Q3, due to its greater head- and legroom. The BMW iX will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q3.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Audi Q3 is a better financial choice over the BMW iX, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q3 is much slimmer than the BMW iX, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Audi Q3, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the BMW iX.

Handling
The Audi Q3 has a significantly smaller turning radius than the BMW iX, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q3 has a lot less horsepower than the BMW iX.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q3 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the BMW iX.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q3 and the BMW iX. The Audi Q3 has significantly less cargo capacity than the BMW iX.
