Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi A3
- Premium interior with great fit and finish quality.
- Long list of features – LED headlights and tail lights, dynamic turn indicators, Audi Multi-Media Interface, panoramic sunroof etc.
- Both engines are fuel-efficient and offer adequate performance.
- Classy, understated design and rock solid build quality.
BMW X3
- The updated design makes it look modern and the massive illuminated kidney grille stands out.
- The cabin has a sporty design which looks very appealing for younger buyers.
- Its ride is comfortable with good space for 5 occupants.
- No significant miss in the features list and it comes with an extensive safety net.

Audi A3
- Cabin space, while better than its rival, the Mercedes CLA’s, is quite limited for the price.
- No paddle-shifters offered.
- Dummy buttons on centre console and passenger doors look ungainly.
BMW X3
- While it does look distinctive, some design elements might not appeal to everyone.
- Parts of the cabin don’t feel as rich or premium as they should at this price.
- While the performance is good, you don’t get the exciting handling package you expect from a BMW.
