Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 than in the BMW X3, due to its greater 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 Hyundai IONIQ 5.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW X3 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Hyundai IONIQ 5.
