BMW X3 vs Lexus NX

Luxury compact SUVs are some of the most versatile vehicles on the road today. They're rugged yet stylish, spacious yet maneuverable, and built to keep you and your family safe. The BMW X3 and Lexus NX are two impressive options that check all those boxes, but which one is right for you?

To help drivers in Rochester Hills, decide, BMW of Rochester Hills looked at what they have to offer in this BMW X3 vs. Lexus NX comparison.

Interior Dimensions

Stylish trim and leather upholstery line the cabins of both the BMW X3 and the Lexus NX. Inside each of these compact SUVs, you'll find premium amenities, like power-adjustable seats, a panoramic moonroof, and high-tech infotainment systems.

However, the BMW X3 offers more space than meets the eye. It's a prime example of a compact SUV that's not compact at all. It can accommodate tall passengers in both rows and carry all your bags. There's ample cargo room in the trunk, plus folding seats to help you load more.

The Lexus NX can also carry a fair amount of groceries or your gym bag, but it's a smaller SUV overall. Not only will you have to pack lightly, but its low ceiling could be a problem for some drivers. Look at how these two stack up inside:

Specs & Capability

The BMW X3 is built to do it all. It can accelerate like a sports car, power through the elements, tow a trailer, and keep you in control in any condition. It's available with an xDrive all-wheel drive system and enough horsepower to haul some heavy cargo across all sorts of terrain.

Like the BMW X3, the Lexus NX also offers a few turbocharged engines to choose from. It's also available with an all-wheel drive system. However, it can't quite deliver the same sort of power. As a result, it's not able to pull as much cargo. See how the two SUVs compare in terms of performance and towing capacity:

Safety Features

In addition to the comfort and convenience you'll find in a luxury SUV, the BMW X3 also provides you with peace of mind. It's loaded with driver-assistive technology that can help you stay safe. With an Active Driving Assistant and an Active Protection System, it can help prevent accidents with intelligent driver-assistive systems, such as:

• Frontal Collision Warning
• Active Blind Spot Detection
• Lane Departure Warning
• Rear-view Camera
• Fatigue and Focus Alert

The Lexus NX also includes a suite of driver-assistive technologies, which consists of some similar safety features. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer anything that can remind you to keep your eyes on the road like the Fatigue and Focus Alert.
