There are plenty of options on the market if you're looking for a pre-owned sport utility vehicle, especially models from the past four or five years. In the last couple of years, the compact SUV segment has really expanded and two particular models have been at the center of this expansion: the BMW X3 and the Audi Q5. There is a good chance you have a pre-owned Audi Q5 or a used BMW X3 on your shopping list if you are looking for a used SUV. Here, we compare pre-owned SUV options based on their versatility, performance, reliability, dependability, and efficiency. Here we focus on 2019 models, but the comparison would apply to most model years when comparing the Q5 and the X3.
The comfort and sportiness balance of the Audi Q5 is the first element that sets it apart from a pre-owned BMW X3. The Audi Q5 really gives you a lot of performance for a vehicle in this category and as far as used compact SUVs go, this is the model that will give you the most fun behind the wheel. Buying a pre-owned Audi Q5 means getting a pre-owned SUV that doesn't compromise on driving fun to give you impressive versatility.
Another difference between a pre-owned Audi Q5 and a used BMW X3 can be found under the hood. A pre-owned Audi Q5 features a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder engine with 248 hp and 273 pound-feet of torque. In other words, you get slightly more horsepower than what you would find in a used BMW X3 which most versions will offer a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with a bit more hp, but a lot less torque with and 248 pound-feet of torque. In both cases you get decent performance, but the X3 is a bit behind in this area.
