2020 Audi Q3 vs. 2019 BMW X1
With the usual posh cabin styling for the 2020 Audi Q3, who says a major change is needed to attract more car buyers out there? On top of that, this engaging ride also breathes functionality via its easy-to-use infotainment system.
As for the 2019 BMW X1, a touch functionality is available for its infotainment system. It also offers precise steering, a lively engine, and plenty of cargo space.
Design & Style
With a chic cabin, and a promise to comfortably seat five adults, the 2020 Audi Q3 has been designed to provide a combination of elegance and sportiness to those who will try riding one. This luxury subcompact SUV also has reclining backseats, perfect for taller and regular passengers who like to stretch out during a long ride. Materials quality wise, no one surpasses the premium elements that have been incorporated in the Q3's design.
As for the 2019 BMW X1, you will also be mesmerized by how it looks on the outside. You will find 18-inch wheels, fog lights, and automatic wipers among its long list of selling points. It has also been gifted with underfloor compartments inside, which you can use for storage purposes. Notice the presence of pillars in the cabin and you know that part compromises outward visibility.
Technology & Safety
With a responsive touchscreen and vibrant graphics available via the Audi Q3's MMI infotainment system and 8.8-inch touchscreen combination, there is indeed a lot of reasons to applaud the ride in terms of technology features. Add to that, it also supports smartphone integration, as well as four USB ports, Bluetooth, HD radio, and 10-speaker audio. Safety wise, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, and rearview camera are just but a few of the standard ones to enjoy when using this SUV.
You will somewhat be dismayed by the lack of technology and safety features in the 2019 BMW X1. This car may offer smartphone Apple CarPlay integration, but note that this only comes free for a year's subscription. Safety wise, you get low-speed automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and automatic high beam actuation, which are not as impressive as those found in the XC60.
Performance
The 2019 BMW X1 produces 228 horsepower for its four-cylinder engine. This is tied with the figures reached by the engine in the Audi Q3.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Audi Q3 has a great appeal to match its very well-crafted interior. It is lavish to look at from the inside to the outside, plus it has plenty of remarkable technologies that anyone will want to experience. This deserves to win its battle over the BMW X1.
