Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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.
Mercedes-Benz EQA
- Cabin quality — soft touch material of the dashboard and doorpads, good quality leather wrap for the steering. Feels properly luxurious!
- Features: twin 10.25” displays, 710W Burmester Sound System, panoramic sunroof, powered front seats — all that you realistically need
- Large 70.5kWh battery pack. Claimed range is upto 560km; expect ~450km in real world conditions.

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.
Mercedes-Benz EQA
- Lack of underthigh support in the rear due to raised floor.
- Shallow 340-litre boot is best suited for smaller trolley bags.
