2025 BMW X3 M50 vs 2025 Audi SQ5 - A Battle of Performance SUVs

The 2025 BMW X3 M50 xDrive and 2025 Audi SQ5 represent two top-tier choices for those who crave performance in a luxury SUV package. Both models bring potent engines, high-tech interiors, and a blend of sporty handling and everyday usability, but they approach the segment from slightly different angles.
The BMW X3 M50 xDrive takes power to the next level with its 3.0-liter inline-six engine, enhanced by an electric motor to deliver a combined output of 398 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque. This hybrid setup gives the X3 M50 xDrive an edge in acceleration, reaching sixty-two miles per hour in just 4.6 seconds. The all-wheel-drive system, fine-tuned by BMW's Motorsport division, ensures precise handling, making this SUV a joy to drive even at high speeds. Its luxurious interior, featuring a 14.9-inch touchscreen and high-end materials, adds to the allure of a performance vehicle that can also pamper its occupants. Priced at 90,000 euros, the X3 M50 xDrive is a tech-laden powerhouse built for driving enthusiasts.
On the other hand, the 2025 Audi SQ5 offers a slightly more traditional performance setup with its turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, producing 362 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, ensures quick and confident shifts. The SQ5 stands out with its sports suspension featuring Frequency Selective Damping, which adapts to road conditions for a balanced ride. Inside, the SQ5 boasts Audi’s latest Digital Stage infotainment system with a 14.5-inch touchscreen, making the cabin both functional and stylish. With a price tag of around $92,000, the SQ5 is a strong competitor.
Both SUVs excel in performance and luxury, but the BMW X3 M50 xDrive edges ahead with its hybrid powertrain and slightly more aggressive acceleration, while the Audi SQ5 focuses on blending comfort with sporty handling for everyday usability.

[@anjansingh3093]

New X3 design is worse compared to 2024 design.

[@aaronchase38]

The x3 has the inline6 turbo beauty of a engine..rear bias. The sq5 has the v6 turbo and also rear bias. Both have real exhaust 👍both also have shinny black plastic and fake vents everywhere 👎

[@natebragg8189]

as a current owner of a 2022 sq5 with six piston brakes i am very disappointed to see they downgraded to a single piston front caliper! worst skimp ever

[@jiggerkandola9400]

Audi doesn’t care about performance anymore. How is a car that’s still months away making less horsepower then the competitors previous gen cars

[@YoungDen]

I am sure this new one outperforms the last gen
