2022 Porsche Macan vs. 2021 BMW X3

The 2022 Porsche Macan impresses a lot of car buyers out there with its sporty exterior. This guarantees that you will get by even the toughest terrains with its setup. The inside looks modern too. What's more, this offers a powerful engine lineup.

The 2021 BMW X3 promises to be muscular in terms of engine performance. The cabin and cargo area have a lot of space for passengers and belongings, respectively.

Design & Style

The 2022 Porsche Macan offers plenty of room, not just for passengers, but for cargo too. At the back of the rear seat is a trunk area that measures 52.9 cubic feet, giving plenty of room for more than just your weekend bags.  The interior looks more than just good; it is upscale with all the top-notch finishes that you are looking for. Sitting five, the luxury crossover definitely provides plenty of room on both rows of seats.

The BMW X3 looks posh too. This two-row SUV is gifted with five seats, just like its Porsche counterpart. The front seats can accommodate taller occupants with sufficient headroom and legroom. The backseats are best left to children, though, in order to complete the five-seating capacity. Synthetic leather upholstery is standard in this ride.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 edition of the Porsche Macan is loaded with a lot of standard technologies. It has a tri-zone automatic climate control, Wi-Fi hot spot, Bluetooth, USB ports, navigation, satellite radio, 10 speakers, and wireless Apple CarPlay. It is also equipped with a user-friendly 10.9-inch touch screen that readily responds to user inputs. The dash has been equipped with no-nonsense buttons. You can count on the rearview camera, lane departure warning, and the front and rear parking sensors for your safety during a trip.

The 2021 BMW X3 carries a 10.2-inch touch screen, a little bit smaller than what you will find in the Macan. This, anyway, displays clear and responds to user inputs at any given circumstance. The tricky buttons are distracting, though. It supports Apple CarPlay, and has a navigation system, 12 speakers, satellite radio, HD radio, and Bluetooth interface. Safety specs are the same as those in the Macan.

Performance

The 2022 Porsche Macan carries a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that releases up to 261 horsepower. There are twin-turbo engine V6 engines in other models, aspirating between 375 and 434 horsepower.

For the 2021 BMW X3, the base engine gives off 248 horsepower. Under the hood of the plug-in hybrid is one that results in 288 horsepower. A twin-turbo V6 is also available to release 473 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Porsche Macan is one luxurious ride that the entire family will definitely appreciate in all aspects. The 2021 BMW X3 stands closely behind, but still lacks the charm, with, reliability, and power that its Porsche counterpart offers.
