Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW X1 than in the Audi Q3, due to its greater head- and legroom. The BMW X1 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q3.

Convenience
The BMW X1 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Audi Q3, making it more convenient to drive.

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). The Audi Q3 is somewhat more expensive than the BMW X1.

Dimensions
The Audi Q3 is a little wider than the BMW X1, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Audi Q3 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the BMW X1.

Handling
The Audi Q3 has a larger turning radius than the BMW X1, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Audi Q3 has a little less horsepower than the BMW X1.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Audi Q3 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the BMW X1.

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 X1. The Audi Q3 has significantly less cargo capacity than the BMW X1.

Warranty
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Audi Q3 than that of the BMW X1.
