2023 BMW X3 vs 2023 Lexus RX - Did Lexus Beat BMW's Luxury Midsize SUV ?

Traditionally, sports sedans have been BMW best sellers. Not so much anymore. The 2023 BMW X3 SUV moves into the 3 series territory with a fantastic blend of refinement and driver engagement. As its name implies, the 2023 BMW X3 is the crossover equivalent to the renowned 3-series sedan, and shares many of its underpinnings with it.
As for Lexus as successful a run as the Lexus RX - 24 years of uninterrupted sales dominance. That’s in part because the RX is the OG of the group, but also because Lexus knows not to fix what isn't broken. So while the 2023 Lexus RX is indeed all-new from the ground up, it doesn't stray far from the same basic formula.
in this video we will compare both cars designs inside and out, pricing and how they drive, so, without any further ado, lets get into it.

I am actually considering both these vehicles. BMW X3 sdrive with 19 standard wheels for most comfort versus the RX 350 Premium with 19 standard wheels. X3 actually has a slightly longer wheelbase with RX slightly wider (one inch) and longer (5.5 inches). X3 has slightly better headroom and cargo space. RX is quieter, but both are rated very quiet. Consumer Reports rates the BMW X3 and X5 as their top rating in each of their luxury size categories. X3 can be bargain if buy two years old. RX tends to hold value better. I like both SUVs in different ways. One big reason not to get a new X3 is there will be a redesign for 2025 and the interior has become dated. I like the new interior look that can be seen in 330i and X5.

After months debating between both I already bought Lexus RX

@@user-qe8sr8zb1r I bought the RX350 too. It was a tough decision as I drove many vehicles.

X5 hands down beats the RX350 for mid-size. I actually prefer the 2022 RX driving. Hate the 4 banger and Lexus HUD drove me nuts. Here I come BMW!

The title of this video has incorrect info. The X3 is not BMW's "midsize SUV." The X3 is BMW's compact SUV. BMW's midsize SUV is the X5. Incorrect comparison.

A real comparison would have been the X3 M competition against RH 500H F sport 3. No words on the performance and the warranty. Seems incomplete for both car.
