Audi Q3 vs BMW X1
Devon, Malvern, and Phoenixville are three towns with plenty of local points of interest to explore. One way to do that is in a comfortable crossover with a long list of amenities. While two popular options are the 2022 Audi Q3 and the 2022 BMW X1, learning more about each model will help you decide which one is right for you.
That's why our team at Audi Devon has created this Audi Q3 vs. BMW X1 car comparison. We'll go over their similarities and differences so you can make an informed decision.
PASSENGERS
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
LEATHER SEATS
The 2022 Audi Q3 comes standard with a 2.0L TFSI® 4-cylinder engine that's paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission. It also comes standard with a quattro® all-wheel drive system. This feature sends power to the wheels with the most grip to help maximize traction and improve the overall handling of the vehicle.
The X1 also comes with a 2.0L engine and an 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission. Unlike the Q3, however, it comes standard with front-wheel drive, so you'll need to upgrade to a higher trim level to get the all-wheel drive system.
Furthermore, the Q3 has the standard Audi drive select system with selectable driving modes. This lets you choose among these modes:
- comfort
- dynamic
- auto
- offroad
- efficiency
The X1 also comes with a standard drive mode select system, but this SUV only offers three options: ECO PRO, COMFORT, and SPORT. With two fewer options than the Q3, the X1 lacks the standard performance customization offered by its competitor.
Since these vehicles are both luxury SUVs, you're sure to find upscale interiors. With the 2022 Audi Q3, you'll travel with both a premium look and feel thanks to the standard leather seats. The BMW X1, on the other hand, only offers optional leather upholstery. Instead, this SUV comes standard with SensaTec, a synthetic leather.
In addition to providing you and your passengers with the soft feel of real leather seats, you and your copilot can relax as you travel thanks to the standard heated front seats. The BMW X1 also comes with heated front seats, but, similar to the leather upholstery, this feature is only offered with an optional upgrade.
Are you recognizing a trend? Many of the creature comforts you love most are standard in the Q3 cabin. The X1 provides a less robust baseline.
In addition to cutting-edge infotainment features, both the 2022 Audi Q3 and the BMW X1 come equipped with advanced technologies to help keep you and your passengers as safe as possible.
Many of these safety features use cameras and sensors to monitor a range around your SUV. System alerts and automatic course correction are then employed to keep you safe.
Features like a forward-collision monitor and a lane-keep system come standard on both luxury SUV models. But that's where the similarities end, because the Q3 offers many more comprehensive safety features, including:
- High beam assist
- Audi side assist with Rear cross traffic assist (available)
- Adaptive cruise assist with Traffic jam assist (available)
- 360-degree top view camera (available)
Although the 2022 BMW X1 is an impressive vehicle, the 2022 Audi Q3 may be the better option for you with the greater number of features it offers. To decide if this crossover is right for you, you'll need to get behind the wheel.
