2021 BMW X1 VS AUDI Q3
There’s a lot of talk around town about the 2021 BMW X1. Its 6.6-second 0 to 60 MPH capability and 27.1-cubic feet of cargo volume are turning heads.
In fact, there aren’t many vehicles on the market today that can compete with the X1 Sports Activity Vehicle®, as BMW likes to call it. However, the Audi Q3 is a contender—one of the only ones out there.
So, here at BMW of Annapolis, we encourage our customers near Annapolis, Arnold, and Severna Park, MD, and the surrounding Maryland communities to check out this BMW X1 vs. Audi Q3 comparison. Then, if you have any remaining questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
BMW X1 VS. AUDI Q3: PERFORMANCE & CAPABILITY
The heart and soul of this 2021 BMW X1 is its powerful 2.0L inline 4-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine. It kicks out up to 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. How? By utilizing BMW’s patented High Precision Direct Injection, Valvetronic, and Double-VANOS engine technologies.
It’s a perfect match for their state-of-their-art 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes, which helps to regulate both acceleration and fuel consumption. Plus, with a high-tech Dynamic Stability Control system, you can count on optimized traction, stability, and handling during every mile of the journey.

The 2021 Audi Q3 also is a performance-oriented automobile, but it’s not nearly as impressive as the 2021 BMW X1. In fact, this crossover’s supposedly turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine only puts out 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.
BMW X1 VS. AUDI Q3 INTERIOR
Another great thing about the luxurious BMW X1 is that it comes outfitted with a massive cabin.
- Passenger Capacity: 5
- Cargo Capacity: 27.1 cubic ft.
- Front-Row Measurements: 41.9 inches of headroom, 40.4 inches of legroom, 55.6 inches of shoulder room
- Back-Row Measurements: 37 inches of legroom, 55.2 inches of shoulder room
Not only is its interior spacious, but it’s beautiful as well. You can choose from several optional upholsteries, such as SensaTec or Dakota Leather. Any of these will turn each drive into the type of experience that can change your life. Don’t believe us? Visit us for an exclusive test drive.
Unfortunately, the Audi Q3, while also quite sumptuous, isn’t nearly as roomy. Your front-seat friends will be a little cramped with a paltry 39.6 inches of headroom, while your back-seat friends will have to tuck their legs up due to the crossover’s 36.1 inches of legroom.
