Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Buick Envision than in the BMW X3, due to its greater head- and legroom. The BMW X3 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Buick Envision, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X3 as you will with the Buick Envision, 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 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Buick Envision, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW X3 is about the same width as the Buick Envision. When looking at overall length, the BMW X3 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Buick Envision.

Handling
The BMW X3 has a larger turning radius than the Buick Envision, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW X3 has a little more horsepower than the Buick Envision.

Powertrain
The BMW X3 has much lower torque than the Buick Envision, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X3 and the Buick Envision. The BMW X3 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Buick Envision.
