2025 BMW X1 vs. BMW X3: Choose Your Ultimate Driving Experience
The 2025 BMW X1 and BMW X3 cater to different lifestyles while upholding BMW’s commitment to luxury and performance. Both SUVs bring dynamic driving, premium features, and modern design to Edmonton roads, but which one suits your needs best?
Performance: Compact Agility vs Powerhouse Strength
The BMW X1 comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. For thrill-seekers, the M35i xDrive ramps up the power to 312 horsepower, all while maintaining a responsive and efficient 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. With its nimble handling and AWD, the X1 is perfect for city driving and light adventure.
The BMW X3, on the other hand, offers more versatility. The base 30 xDrive boasts a 255-horsepower 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, while the M50 xDrive packs a robust 393-horsepower 3.0-litre inline-six. Both trims feature an 8-speed automatic transmission. The X3 accelerates with ease, delivering power suitable for highway cruising or tackling rugged terrain.
Interior: Modern Comforts for Every Lifestyle
Inside the BMW X1, you’ll find a sleek 10.7-inch digital instrument cluster paired with a 10.25-inch infotainment screen powered by BMW’s iDrive 9. Standard features include sport-style seating and split-folding rear seats, while premium trims offer a panoramic sunroof and wireless charging. Despite its compact size, the X1 offers 540 litres of cargo space and expands to 1,600 litres with the rear seats folded.
The BMW X3 steps up the game with its BMW Curved Display and optional woven fabric dashboard trim made from recycled materials. The X3 provides a roomier cabin, offering 570 litres of cargo space with the seats up and a generous 1,700 litres when folded. Features like ventilated leather seats and advanced climate control add to the luxury experience.
Efficiency: Balancing Power and Fuel Economy
The BMW X1 xDrive28i achieves a combined fuel efficiency of 8.5 L/100 km, while the sportier M35i clocks in at 8.9 L/100 km. In comparison, the BMW X3 30 xDrive offers a combined efficiency of 8.1 L/100 km, and the M50 xDrive delivers 8.6 L/100 km—impressive for a six-cylinder SUV.
Safety and Technology: Cutting-Edge Innovation
Both the X1 and X3 feature advanced safety systems, including emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. The X3 adds the Driving Assistant package with adaptive cruise control and rear cross-traffic alert. Both models are designed to keep Edmonton drivers safe and secure on Alberta’s roads, whether navigating downtown traffic or heading out to Elk Island.
