Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Edge than in the BMW X3, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Ford Edge offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW X3, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X3 as you will with the Ford Edge, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 BMW X3 is somewhat more expensive than the Ford Edge.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X3 is much slimmer than the Ford Edge, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the BMW X3 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Ford Edge.

Handling
The BMW X3 has the same turning radius as the Ford Edge, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the BMW X3 and the Ford Edge.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the BMW X3 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Ford Edge.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X3 and the Ford Edge. The BMW X3 has less cargo space than the Ford Edge, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
