BMW X3 vs. Lexus RX 350 - Which Suits You?

Room

For a vehicle that's easy to maneuver, the BMW X3 may be your preferred choice with a length of 185.9-inches compared to the longer 192.5-inches of the Lexus RX 350. When looking at standard comforts and room inside of the models, the Lexus RX 350 has a headroom available in the front of 39.4-inches. You'll see more headroom up in the front of the BMW X3, with 41.1-inches available of front headroom.

Features

Although both come packed with premium-level features like rain-sensing windshield wipers and an automatic-dimming interior rear-view mirror, the comforts in the BMW X3 have an edge. For instance, the BMW X3 compared to the rival includes items like the automatic 3-zone climate control, whereas the Lexus RX 350 has standard dual-zone automatic climate control.

Performances Compared

If you want a performance that can tune into adventure smoothly and take on all sorts of terrains and provide agility on the roads, a new BMW X3 can be ideal. How does the performance of the BMW X3 look when you're comparing it to a competitor like a Lexus RX 350?

Power

On the Lexus RX 350 and Lexus RX 350 F SPORT, a 295-Horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine gets equipped, whereas, on the Lexus RX 350L, 290 Horsepower gets offered from the 3.5-liter V6 engine. While the standard 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine on the BMW X3 can produce 248 Horsepower, the power of a BMW X3 M40i is seamlessly unmatched to the competition with 382 Horsepower available from the 3.0-liter BMW M Performance TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine. Once you get to the BMW X3 M with 473 Horsepower available and the BMW X3 M Competition with 503 Horsepower offered, you can see truly how unrivaled the performance of the BMW X3 can be when comparing specifications to others.

Towing

Towing can be a deciding factor when choosing a new vehicle, whether it's for trailering outdoor equipment, your camper, or boat. The BMW X3 can make the decision seamless if you're looking for more towing power. When properly equipped, the BMW X3 can tow up to 4,400 pounds! While the Lexus RX 350 does offer some towing abilities, it comes in less with an available 3,500-pound towing capacity.
