Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid 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 Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

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 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW X3 is a little wider than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, 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 BMW X3 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Handling
The BMW X3 has a larger turning radius than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW X3 has a little less horsepower than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the BMW X3 and the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

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