Are you in the market for a sporty but practical SUV that provides a blend of dynamic qualities, comfort, and premium features? If so, the 2023 Audi SQ5 and the BMW X3 M40i have undoubtedly made it to your shopping list. Here is why the Audi makes a better choice for you:
A comfortable place to be
The 2023 Audi SQ5 takes the cake in terms of comfort due to its firm but supportive seats and its more compliant ride. Indeed, despite offering a high level of performance that rivals that of the X3 M40i, the SQ5 keeps its occupants more comfortable while driving over rough pavements and its seats will make you arrive at your destination more refreshed and energized. In order to offer an even better compromise between comfort and handling, the Audi can be ordered with an available air suspension that firms up when you want to exploit the SUV’s capabilities and softens when you want to be coddled.
Smaller outside, larger inside
Also making the 2023 Audi SQ5 more comfortable than the BMW X3 M40i is its generous cabin that provides more legroom and shoulder room for both front and rear passengers. This makes long road-trips more comfortable by allowing you to stretch out easier. What’s impressive is that you don’t pay for this increase in interior space by having a vehicle that is more difficult to park and maneuver since the BMW is actually longer on the outside.
Very similar performances
Despite being more practical and more comfortable, the 2023 Audi SQ5 is still a very dynamic SUV that can easily hold its own against the BMW X3 M40i. Indeed, both models are powered by a turbocharged six-cylinder engine coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. While the BMW offers more horsepower, the Audi makes up for it by making its peak torque of 369 lb-ft (the same as the X3 M40i) available at a lower engine speed, which makes it feel peppier around town and when driving at lower speeds.
