Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW X3 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen ID.4, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the BMW X3 and the Volkswagen ID.4.

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). Whether you pick the BMW X3 or the Volkswagen ID.4, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X3 is much wider than the Volkswagen ID.4, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW X3, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The BMW X3 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW X3 has a little more horsepower than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the BMW X3 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X3 and the Volkswagen ID.4. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the BMW X3 as you will in the Volkswagen ID.4.
