Certified CenterBMW X3 Vs The Competition
See How the BMW X3 Overpowers Its Competitors in the Albany, NY Area
You're always on the go in Albany, so you need an SUV that can keep up with your active pace. The new BMW X3 has the snappy acceleration, smooth handling, and user-friendly technology you desire, and it's available now at BMW of South Albany. Other compact luxury SUVs like the Acura RDX, Lincoln Corsair, and Mercedes-Benz GLB are also energetic, but they can't match the overall excellence of the X3. At BMW of South Albany, we aim to show you why with the following comparisons.
BMW X3 vs. Acura RDX
BMW is always on the forefront of the latest vehicle technology, and the new BMW X3 is a case in point. Tech-savvy drivers in Glenmont will like the X3's 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which comes standard with a wireless device charging pad, a navigation system, and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. The Acura RDX's 10.2-inch infotainment screen also comes with wireless smartphone integration and charging, but navigation is optional, so you must pay more to add it.
BMW X3 vs. Lincoln Corsair
The new BMW X3 has responsive steering and strong brakes that make it a blast to drive on winding roads in Schenectady. Despite its thrilling driving dynamics, the X3 also delivers a cushioned ride, even on imperfect pavement. The Lincoln Corsair also rides comfortably, but it doesn't have the sharp handling you get with the X3.
BMW X3 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLB
More power is better when you're merging onto highways and passing other vehicles in Saratoga Springs. The new BMW X3 comes with a potent 255-horsepower four-cylinder engine for all the get-up-and-go you need for getting around in the city. X3 M50 xDrive models have six-cylinder engines making 393 horsepower. The Mercedes-Benz GLB's standard engine only generates 221 horsepower. Its optional upgrade produces just 302 horsepower.
