2020 Audi Q3 vs 2020 BMW X1
Serving Rockville, MD
Do you have plans to upgrade to a new luxury crossover SUV soon? The 2020 Audi Q3 is the subcompact luxury crossover SUV that stands up to exceed your highest expectations. Before you settle on the Q3 as your preferred model, you reasonably need to know how this Audi model compares to other luxury crossover SUVs. The 2020 BMW X1 is also a subcompact luxury crossover SUV, and its price is nominally higher than the price of the Q3. How do the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1 compare in other essential areas?
Exterior
From every angle, the exterior of the Audi Q3 exudes athleticism and elegance. It has a sporty flow from front to rear, and this is enhanced by angled side definition that generates a sense of momentum. The front of the Q3 shows off a tall, hexagonal grille with a grid-like pattern. This chrome-outlined grille is mounted over a thin accent on the bumper. At the sides of this accent piece, triangular ports hold the foglamps. In comparison, the 2020 BMW X1 has a relatively comparable profile with softer surfaces on the sides. The grille is smaller and has BMW's signature design with two sections. This relatively short grille sits over a full air vent mounted in the front bumper.
Interior
Inside the 2020 Audi Q3, accent lighting draws attention to the linear design elements throughout the cabin. These lights are available in 30 colors combined with metallic accents, excellent leather material, and numerous technologies. Interior features include a wireless charging station, USB ports, smart device app integration, MMI Touch, a high-level audio system, and other gear. The 2020 BMW X1, on the other hand, is available with leather material in some trim levels, and it comes with a multi-color ambient lighting system. The display screen that floats over the dashboard offers accessibility to the navigation system, ConnectedDrive, weather data, and more.
Performance
Both of these smaller SUVs receive 228 horsepower from their base-level powertrain. The Q3 also has Quattro all-wheel drive, five driving modes, a high-level suspension system, and other advanced features that support your mastery of the road. The 2020 BMW X1's base powertrain is connected to a front-wheel-drive drivetrain, and all-wheel drive is available only if you step up to the next trim level. These models both have power steering, anti-locking brakes, and other expected features.
