2020 BMW X1 vs. X3: Performance

In the chart above, you’ll note that both a BMW X1 for sale and a BMW X3 for sale will come outfitted with a 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder. While they have the same engine, you may be wondering why the BMW X3 base model packs a little more horsepower than the X1. With a more aerodynamic design built for speed and power, the X3 is able to edge out the X1 in horsepower. The X3 also reaches 60 miles per hour in only 6.0 seconds, while it takes the X1 6.6 seconds.

If speed and pick-me-up are important to your San Diego drives, consider the X3 or even the exceptionally powerful M performance series trim level, the X3 M40i. Additionally, on the topic of options the X3 has a hybrid engine option for more efficient drives throughout Poway and beyond, while the X1 SAV® does not.
