2024 BMW X3 VS 2024 Audi Q5! The Better Small Luxury SUV?

[@kf5809]

For all that money, you would think Audi could come up with better rim designs than a 2010 Nissan Rogue look.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

There’s other options available.

[@JB_287]

I'm a fan (and owner) of both brands so no bias here, but the the 261 hp Q5 0-60 is rated around 5.7 seconds. The 6.8 number comes from the 201 hp entry-level Q5 (40 TFSI vs 45 TFSI).

[@brooksr4013]

You are correct 👍🏾

[@carterbasile1720]

THANKYOU

[@ppw8716]

@JB_287 If you were to choose the Audi vs the BMW, which would you prefer? Might be difficult to answer since you like both, but these are the 2 vehicles I’m trying to decide on.

[@nancyandjoel4134]

I’ve had the BMW and loved it. Bought the Q5 and love it! Both cars are worth having. Can’t go wrong with either one.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nice! Yeah we really like BMW and Audi. Have owned a few of both and you really can't go wrong!

[@p.chrisr8106]

Both car are almost identical except for the badge and info system. It’s a matter of preference. I personally own a x3 and love it.

[@artinbakhan]

Is it a reliable car?

[@Blackandwhitecat-u9v]

@@artinbakhanYes

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

They are somewhat similar.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

They both are!

[@artinbakhan]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thanks but i bought the X3, 5 months ago 🙂

I enjoy your reviews, and here's some feedback. Instead of just saying the cargo space is 'good' and 'identical', it would be helpful if you actually shared numbers. 'Good', 'nice' and 'identical' don't mean anything. Same applies to leg room.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Good point, I’ll include that for the future!

[@johnbartzis2870]

X3 2nd Time Owner is Quality & Turns Heads ❤🎉😊

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh nice! Great SUV for sure, we like them a lot

[@ELP1125]

turns heads 😂

[@587G]

Of the two, which one is quieter on the road for road noise the BMW or the Audi? Thanks.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Honestly, they are going to be nearly identical! Not much of a difference to be honest.

[@lolipop93554]

Audi with my experience.

[@Trevor-zw1qr]

Very happy with my 2021 Audi Q5 TDI. The interior is less flashy than the BMW. It has a full size spare tyre. Would recommend.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@brooksr4013]

I got the X3 for my wife, but don’t think you can go wrong either way

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Cool! Yeah, both are good options!

[@ruialves4965]

I know nothing about the X3 but i tell you this , i love my Q5 V6 Tdi 🍻

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Both are great options!

[@mula-vic9224]

x3 or ix3..?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That’s not available at the moment, but I’d never buy an EV, so normal X3 if those were the only two options.

[@S4special1]

Why doesn’t the X3 have the longer screen across like all the other models (x1,x5,x7) is there option to change that. You said these are the base models, so I’m hoping more things can be added to the X3 because it’s already so beautiful 😍

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

No large screen for even the X3M, maybe for the 2025 year model, but not yet..

[@Jayson-x3c7w]

idrive 8 curved display monitor is coming in the 2025 MY X3. Personally, not a fan of the curved monitor display. I intentionally went with the 2024 MY because of it. Although, the 2025 MY X3 new body style looks AMAZING!!!

[@AlDo-l5x]

Model 2025 has large, curve, and long screen and less buttons and dials. I’m not a fan of that. I have a 2023 x3, and getting another x3, but 2024, not 2025. Model 2025 is not as nice, to us.

[@USMC_LAterZ]

@user-ov4he8of9b I love the fact tgat the 2024 X3 M40i gives us actual buttons for climate controls. I personally hate the wrap around screen with everything being digital. And the 2025 model, in my own opinion looks like crap. I think all the newer 2025 models look like shit. Hell, I'll even say the funky wack assed newer M 3/4's look better than the 2025 models. But, I digress as it's my opinion only.

[@sandilemajiya7831]

I love BMW X3 more than the Audi Q5 but the fact that the BMW X3 doesn't have a spur wheel it makes me rethink. But I think it defer with the countries I think here in South Africa it have a spur wheel therefore for me I choose BMW X3.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

What’s a “spur” wheel?

[@sandilemajiya7831]

@BrosFOURRSpeed I mean a spare wheel I think you guys call it spare saver. Sorry about the wrong spelling.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@sandilemajiya7831 I don’t have a spare in my X5, R8 or GR86. Never had any concerns with that.

[@sandilemajiya7831]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed most of the cars here in South Africa have a spare, if it does not have one people don't like it.

[@randyreynolds1045]

BMW is much better! Better seats, and driving fun. Audi seats are too hard on long trips.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Just depends on which one you like!

[@mr.gegenpress7750]

BMW is so slick man, its not even a comparison anymore😂

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It's a great option for sure!

[@sneakerhead4770]

Quad tip dual exhaust on the q5? No the SQ5 has the quad tip

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yea misspoke, lots of cars have them these days so just said that on accident..

[@RAVIKING1982]

Like the X3 model but like the audi interior more

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Same. Audi uses a bit nicer interior materials. Both are great tho

[@maurotoni4633]

Lo stesso si disse nel 2009 quando comprai la mia Q5. 15 anni dopo l’Audi è ancora bella, moderna. La x3 del 2009 sembra un bidone della spazzatura. Succederà ancora con questi 2 modelli. La BMW invecchia molto prima

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad you enjoyed this review!

[@USMC_LAterZ]

Please provide numbers when giving dimensions. Also, it would help your audience if you state and add on your video specific model, i.e., 2024 BMW X3 M30i/M40i.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I stated the specific model in the first 10 seconds..I also have the dimensions in the separate full reviews..

[@CarlosRamos-xr9rj]

IMO, Audi has nicer aesthetics, except the rims. VW has superior rims. BMW however drives better and it’s a noticeable difference to me. It was enough for me to get the X3 over the Q5. Side note - Audis rim is akin to someone wearing all Gucci clothing but wear Walmart brand sneakers.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Interesting. I think both are great, but I'd lean towards the BMW!

[@ccntwc]

I like them both. I own the 2021 Q5

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Cool! Yeah both are great!

[@coolsand]

I felt the rear seat space seemed little tighter in the Q5. X3 does not have a power steering adjust😮

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Just depends on which one works better for you!

[@AlDo-l5x]

I have a x3. I like it better than Audi or Mercedes.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Cool!

[@Jj-lo4mc]

X3 is better

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Why?

[@saeednrzadeh4754]

One reason is enough to get BMW, And that is ZF transmission.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah that's a solid choice!

[@faizanarif5703]

I have owned both. Drive wise both will be the same. Interior and infotainment will be different. BMW's interior and idrive system is hands down more practical and Bette than Audi's MMI. Rest, it's pretty much the same

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Both are great options for sure!

[@michaelbergschneider2446]

Audi has 2.0 turbo as well. Not 2.4.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

No, the Audi is a 2.4L..

[@michaelbergschneider2446]

No. But the 40 and 45 models have the 2.0 turbo, just in different states of tune. The 45 model also has a 48v mild hybrid system.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh dang, don't know how I missed that lol. Yeah 2.0T for the Audi ;)

[@vwbora26]

The Q5 is 2.0 liter not 2.4. There is nothing in VAG world 2.4

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I know, I’ve addressed that and just misspoke..

[@vertexbend]

He still hasn't shown how the seats fold down..

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I’ve showed that in the full detailed review which I’m pretty sure I mentioned..

[@md8744]

You are damn wrong of 0-60 on Audi Q5 Bro , I tested it just about 5.7 s Bro !!!! I own now.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Just stating what Audi says..I went off their numbers..

[@efavuzza73]

I bought the VW cross sport sel R for same price of Audi. Q5 is made in Mexico

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Lots of cars are made there, why’s that a bad thing? We had a cross sport for a week, it’s nice, I’d rather have the Audi or bmw.

[@G82Watts]

X3 all day BMW is killing the competition.. audi with their poor performance and outdated designs.. and merc.

[@stephenEs3532]

stay mad Audi #1 everything

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Audis still have a lot to offer!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

BMW is ahead of Audi though!

[@G82Watts]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed lol I'm very biased too be honest. U probably know that by now but in all honesty I really do believe for this generation of cars BMW is killing it

[@AC-yg9zf]

BMW are good, but their harsh suspension is a let down for alot of people who are daily drivers. This also makes it less Luxurious.

[@gonzalosanabria2251]

Neither has a tow hitch

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah, that’s why I said when properly equipped. Thats an option.

They aren't trucks.

Why would you pick the Mercedes?

What the hell is that interior color in the x3? It's terrible

Looks good in person.

Or you can choose a different color

Audi is a VW with lipstick.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Volkswagen also owns Bugatti, is that a VW with lipstick too?

[@JamesBlazen]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Audi and VW share the same parts and often assembled in the same plants. Similar to Lexus and Toyota, Chevrolet and Cadillac, Nissan and Infinity. If a lipsticked VW is your thing then buy an Audi.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I own an R8, not exactly a VW with lipstick....people can buy what they want, nothing wrong with Audi's at all, much better materials, quality and more sporty options than VW, so depends on what you are looking for..

[@JamesBlazen]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed It's VW engineering and VW assembly. Facts Bro.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@JamesBlazen No, that's not correct at all. The R8 is developed, manufactured and designed by Audi.... Just because a company owns another, doesn't mean it's based on that company. Audi has it's own division for "Audi sport" and the performance models. Same goes for the Nissan GTR....sure it's a Nissan, but technically it's a separate division with the GTR and development...facts..

[@justlama0]

Bmw looks like car from 96year vs audi

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

What’s that mean?
