Sadly, the price difference between these two cars is huge in Canada. The q3 is about 5k (CAD) cheaper than the new X1. Therefore, I think unless there is a personal brand preference, Q3 is definitely the better choice of these two.

Lane guidance on Q3 was switched off (at 44:10), that’s why the car went off - otherwise lane keeping is superb. Occasionally , lane guidance does switch off inexplicably and one needs to turn it back on in the infotainment (not on turning signal lever). Great review Thomas, thank you!

As always great video, lots of details and in my eyes the perfect channel for up to date info needed to make a decision. Much appreciated 🙂 Had both these cars on my short list. Have owned 3 BMW's in the past and have good experiences with all 3 cars so i am probably biased towards the BMW. After a test drive today with the BMW X1 xDrive25e, i didn't even bother to go test drive the Audi. The BMW was just that good in regards to power delivery, suspension, interior quality and electric range. In my eyes almost impossible to do better in this category.

Went with the X1 - I live over in the states. More room inside (especially father who is 6'4" and has plenty of head room and legroom in the front seat and even rear) Screen controls no problem for me as 6'1" and can easily reach them and once you get used to them it's very easy to use the console. It also iced up here last week over Christmas and the car handled perfectly on the roads. Plenty of trunk room (both kids off at University) and we live in the city so a real nice car to get around in (NYC) and handles just fine. Took it on the highway the other day and no complaints. Did I like the Q3?, sure but practically for me living in NYC this was the right choice - space and not too big with a whole new redesign, Audi just tweaks but still same design.

Really appreciate this review! All of the automotive journalists are way too focused on performance metrics that they forget about real-world drivability in day-to-day scenarios. In day-to-day driving, I don't really care if the steering is a bit numb, or if the car feels sporty in turns. I just want a car that's comfortable, quiet, and good for freeway driving. I have my C7 Z06 for carving twisty roads. My employer has decided we are going hybrid instead of 100% telework. My Corvette (which I bought during covid, when we were 100% telework) is a very fun car to drive, but it's my dream car. I don't want to put 10K miles/yr commuting into the office. With high interest rates making leasing a luxury German crossover equal to the cost of buying an economy-brand crossover, I'm leaning towards a luxury lease over a marked-up purchase. My online research has driven me towards the BMW X1, but I'll need to test them all myself before making a choice. This review already pretty much solidified my choice for the BMW (hate the bug look of the Benz, and prefer the X1 styling over the Q3). Now it's just a question of BMW vs Lexus (previously dd'd a Lexus IS350 F-Sport, and loved it).

I have a BMW 330i M Sport G20 and this is my 5th BMW and I think the steering is great so I cannot understand why Thomas goes on about it so much and criticises it. Other reviewers do not criticise the steering like Thomas does.

I also see that the front seat is pushed back quite a bit more than necessary in your case. Also the doors in the rear are not made of hard plastics like in the BMW but are soft touch, just not very soft.

As a BMW owner i'd like to choose the Audi as i can't be bothered with the BS that BMWs have these days. You said that the X1 had more comfortable suspension but as i've found lately with a number of different BMW models their suspension is often a bit underdampened and gets even softer after a couple of years. Though i have to admit, as u mentioned Thomas, BMW have good powertrains that can make them feel good to drive. Interestingly the inside door handles on the X1 look like the Q3's, in fact they're also similar to the CLA i just saw - why do manufacturers copy each other!? But the clincher would be; Can you spec a heated steering wheel on the Q3 [UK market]?

Many thanks for making that comparison video. It was definitely bit of an eye-opener that the Q3 was so soundly beaten, apart from the steering and the physical air conditioning controls. Be that as it may. You mentioned initially, that despite the iX1 being in the same class as the Q3 that it would be more reasonable to compare the iX1 with the larger Q4. With that in mind. It would be particularly interesting to see a comparison video between those two, as I gather that the way the battery in the iX1 has been shoe-horned into the one-size-fits-all chassis has entailed 1. that the back-bench seating is now so low that it makes for a rather uncomfotable seating even for an adult of average height. Is this true? 2. that it is no longer possible to adjust each individual seat in the back bench lengthwise. Again is that so? Lastly, and in terms of refinement as I gather that it's an issue even for a Premium EV such as the VOLVO XC40 Recharge. Is there any discernable difference between the two cars in the noise, or rather whine, coming from the front axle electric motor? Again thanks for a great video.

The engines chosen may play a big role because I had a completely opposite feeling with the X1 18d vs Q3 35 TDI. The X1 was too loud on acceleration and felt cheap, the suspensions were too firm giving me the feeling I was driving a Kia Picanto. With the Q3, it felt smooth, more premium, more welcoming. What do you think?

Audi A4 gear stick got a lot of hate when it came, but in my opinion it is very nice. It is great place to rest your hand and in my opinion it even looks much better than these huge knob sticks (or small lever type gear sticks).

I had a bmx x1 test drive in October when it is released with 20 inch alloys and m 23i. I liked the car a lot but i have bmw 5 series with adaptive suspension. The only downside was the suspension of x1 as i was feeling all the humps. I thought after 5 series it is like a downgrade for me and decided not to buy it. After watching your review, i am not sure if i need to give it a try again or wait for the new generation BMWs. I am also thinking to buy new 2023 GLC. If no new bmw release in 2023, i think glc will be a better option over X1

the X1 that I ordered is at least 2 more months away. here in the US, BMW refuses to sell us the 3-series touring(wagon) which I absolutely love.... so I have no choice but to get the next best thing, the X1. I want a BMW that's small but with cargo capacity... so IMHO, the X1 is the closest thing to a proper 330i wagon. :)

This is a very detailed and timely review! The Audi motor sounds like it's straining on acceleration compared to the X1. From your videos alone, the X1 seems more upscale and contemporary and designed and engineered better than the Q3. think your videos have calmed down my concerns of the X1 dual clutch transmission.

@nikosandronas5115 Жыл бұрын

can differences in driving behaviour (which may not be noticed by the ordinary driver) compensate for the difference in price?? Personally I'd go for the Q3, because it's cheaper, probably has lower fuel consumption and is both internally and externally more stylish and elegant. Congrats for the test, and for the ENG language. For telling the trouth for a 50min testing i would expect some "off-road testing" for those AWD vehicles.

@@autogefuehl I picked the Q3 over X1 because here in Canada the top Tecknik trim for the Audi was only $48K with pano roof, Sonos speakers, all the fun options.....BMW base price without the other options was $54K and if you want the paddle shifter its an extra $5k for it, which honestly should be given since there are no gear stick like Audi. So BMW in all is still much more expensive if you start adding limited options ending up being at least $7-8K more. Q3 runs a bit cheaper because it doesnt need premium gas. BMW requires premium and prices on gas is not very fun when you pay more than $2.20 for premium 91.

thanks for the review. If BMW NA treated people who buy cars as the customer and not the dealership, the choice would be easy given the poor gas mileage for the Q3. Now The Q3 is the only option left in this segment. Sadly inventory is so bad in NA, choices are essentially buy unseen/undriven and be treated like a sap.
