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.
Volvo C40 Recharge
- Looks sporty yet distinctive
- Insanely quick and fun to drive thanks to 408PS dual motors
- Comfortable ride quality for our roads
- Has almost all the features one would expect
- ADAS works well despite illegible road markings

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.
Volvo C40 Recharge
- Space saver eats into the small 413-litre boot
- Small rear window means view is almost non existent
