When it comes to premium SUVs that blend refined performance with everyday versatility, the BMW X5 and X3 are two of the most compelling choices. But which one is the best fit for your lifestyle in Long Beach? At Long Beach BMW, we're here to help you compare the key differences between the X5 and X3 so you can decide which of these exceptional SUVs suits you best.
BMW X5: Spacious Luxury for Long Beach Families
If you're seeking a roomier SUV to accommodate your growing family in Long Beach, the BMW X5 delivers an optimal blend of space, comfort, and performance. With an optional third row of seats and generous legroom, the BMW X5 ensures that everyone can stretch out and enjoy the journey to Shoreline Village, the Long Beach Museum of Art, or the Belmont Plaza Pool. The BMW X5 has an expansive cargo area – offering 23 to 66 cubic feet – perfect for loading up all your gear for a weekend getaway or big shopping trip.
The BMW X5 offers your choice of potent and efficient engines, from the smooth inline-six rated for 375 horsepower to the prodigious twin-turbo V8 in the X5 M high-performance variant. There's even an exclusive plug-in hybrid model, as the X5 xDrive50e generates 483 combined horsepower and provides an electric range of 38 miles. BMW xDrive is offered for the X5.
BMW X3: Agile and Adventurous
For active individuals and couples who prefer the nimbler dimensions and sportier driving dynamics of a compact luxury SUV to drive down Ocean Blvd. through Long Beach, the BMW X3 is tough to beat. The tidy proportions and lighter weight of the BMW X3 translate to zestier acceleration, sharper cornering reflexes and easier maneuverability in tight urban confines of greater Los Angeles. Yet the BMW X3 still serves up generous room for five adults and plenty of cargo space – 32 to 67 cubic feet – for all your adventure gear.
The BMW X3 can be outfitted with your preference of spirited and fuel-sipping turbo engines, starting with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder powertrain. Base X3 models are rated for 255 horsepower. While the X5 delivers up to 617 horsepower, the X3 maxes out at 393 horsepower. Standard BMW xDrive in the BMW X3 unlocks all-terrain performance. The X3 even features a 14.9-inch BMW Curved Display.
