Comparison Review

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 Nissan ARIYA.

Dimensions
The BMW X3 is a little wider than the Nissan ARIYA, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. 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 Nissan ARIYA.

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

Performance
The BMW X3 has a little more horsepower than the Nissan ARIYA.

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 Nissan ARIYA.

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