Love the Signature autogefühl fake exhaust police. Top review as always.
Vielen Dank 😄
cheers! Please recommend and share :)
Just saw today for the first time the X1 in the flesh and I was positively surprised with the design. The proportions are just perfect, as well as some design details... I liked it very much!!

Very thorough evaluation of the cars. We appreciate the academic, decent, appraisal of the cars, using clean language. Very impressive. We'll be back for more of your car reviews in the future, Lord willing.
Most welcome! Feel free to recommend our channel :-)
Had an Msport X1, traded for an X3M Competition. I really liked the way the old X1 drove, but my wife liked a bigger SUV. Space, utility, and driving dynamics, the X3M offered little more in that way on a daily basis. Love the new interior of the X1 and BMW produces such sublime four cylinder.
superb comparison and lots of content, totally enjoyed it. I suggest putting up a head-to-head comparison table at the very end for your analytical viewers ;-)
Thanks 🙏
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.
That is only if you get the base trim which the x1 offer 50 more horsepower in comparison to the q3
This video comparison is superb!!! Clearly, this must have taken much time and effort to plan and produce. I appreciate the content. Your reviews are the next best thing to actually driving the car themselves. I am considering purchasing an X1 and have watched so many RUclips videos but yours are the definitive statements. After watching this, its the X1 for me....just need to pick a color!!!! Happy Holidays, Thomas!
Thank you very much! Please recommend 😎
For the color, I would highly suggest Green Metallic :)
Did you get the x1
@@tanfer2003 Sort of....order was placed for M Sport trim, Portimao Blue, Oyster interior. Hopefully, production in February with delivery April/May. Waiting is so hard.
@@DaMaxchi good luck
Thank you thomas, i got the X1 after watching your previous review on X1. I tried the car before buying and your review was 100% accurate.
Cool enjoy 😎
Great breakdown between these two vehicles! I've been eyeing the new X1 for a while now and I think I'll go ahead and pull the trigger. That engine bay comparison is really interesting and it's nice to see BMW add the attention to detail on something you'll rarely see, but having a clean engine bay is a nice feeling.
thanks m8 !
Only this Audi Q3 is the less strongest i want to see 45 TFSI engine acceleration this be a beast
I know it's a lot of work, but keep it up with the comparisons review 👍
Thanks, will do!
Great review! Always a pleasure to watch your videos!!
Quick note - bear in mind that the presented LED headlights are an option/add-on. Meaning that the standard LED come with a much different headlight (as well the DRL, that doesn't even look like a BMW 🤨).
Cheers, keep up the good work!
Thanks 🙏 yes indeed!
Just got the X1 a week ago my first BMW can’t wrap my mind around all the tools and amenities of this car
What a timely video. I am choosing between these 2 cars today, Saturday 31st, Melbourne Australia as a present for my sister ! Thanks for another great video Thomas !
Cheers! And lucky sister 😎
currently in melb, aus also looking at these two cars haha, what did you end up picking? the BMW app where you need to subscribe to features was a big turn off for me...
@@pickrs01 my sister wanted to test the Volvo XC40 as well. Mercedes GLA was out due to it’s fixed prices. She is still to decide but I would go for the BMW.
Thumbs up for a great review!
highly appreciated! Please recommend our channel =)
Amazing review, thank you!
thanks! Feel free to share :)
I realized I preferred the Audi a few mins in.. but your voice is just so satisfying! Lol
Thomas, your videos are from another level! However I've cancelled my Q4-etron order and replaced it by the iX1. Can't wait!
Enjoy!
Cheers! 🙌🎄
BMW really steps up the game tremendously. I saw an X1 yesterday and man, i thought that was an X3 because their sizes and shape are so similar now!
not similar,new x1 is shorter for 20cm than x3. also new x1 is only 5cm longer than old one. so no big changes at all
@@makkeynHe said similar not the same. Learn the difference.
In other words, cars just keep getting bigger 🥹
Great video. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year )
merry xmas ! :)
Love the comparison tests, Thomas. Keep them coming. Sometimes, you can only spot differences driving cars back to back. I really like my wife's X1, was always thinking to get something more "premium" next time, but these great reviews of the new X1 are making me think twice.
thanks! Keep tuning in :-)
Great job Thomas! Comparison videos are really helpful to know the pros and cons of each vehicle and take a conscious decision before selecting one. It will be interesting to see a comparison between bmw x1 and volvo xc40 (say for example bmw x1xDrive 23i MHT vs volvo xc40 2.0 B4P). Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
Enjoy some xc40 content here: ruclips.net/video/xkkCC-KsyYg/видео.html
amazing review! x1 seems amazing indeed. Specially in frozen gray or Partimao blue
Cheers!
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!
Thanks 🙏
Finalmente una ottima comparativa tra le due regine del mercato Suv di questo livello. Complimenti per il bel video e per tutto il lavoro che avete fatto. Molto utile per scegliere!
Mille Grazie!
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.
cheers !=)
Thank you very much for your review. I was trying to decide between these two cars and your review has made the choice to be easier for me. BMW X1 will be te one.
My pleasure!
I love the tip you gave on higher displacement lower horsepower. That is so insightful, the opposite of what people would normally think of and I agree with you.
you re welcome!
I like see your videos very interesting keep it up 👊
Thanks please recommend 😎
Hey Thomas, really like your videos!! Do you have the plan to do another comparison for the 2023 BMW X1 vs the 2.0 4-cylinder X3? Really interested in this comparison personally.
We definitely need a comparison that includes the X1 PHEVs. Maybe a good compromise between 23i and iX1?
Great review and far comparison! I'd also choose BMW new X1. Expecting your next review on iX1 and Q4 etron soon.
That's the plan!
Cheers!
Deine reviews sind die Besten! Gruß aus Bayern
Vielen Dank! 😎
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.
Thanks for the report!
I went straight to the ending since I already knew you would pick the BMW. No surprise that you did what i expected.
Before driving them head to head i would have picked the Audi, was surprised
It's impressive the number of RUclips channels that take back your videos without modification !!!
a lot do that without consent, we do however have some that do that with consent, e.g. our language and theme channels
Excellent and detailed review, thanks ! I tested both cars and came to the same conclusion(s).
Ordered meanwhile my "BMW X1 sDrive 20i X-line" end of December (2022), but delivery-time ... January 2024 !!! (acc. to the dealer's BMW-system)(in Belgium).
The dealer could not give any particular reason for the delay. 😒🙄
A very nice comparison. Definitely, I prefer the X1 : sportier and more luxurous. I will order one with the Thomas blue color (Portimao blue) and alcantara seats !
Enjoy!😎
I will be delighted to do the new X1 user test video with Autogefühl and especially with Thomas (I'm fan).
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'm really impressed about the new X1
oh man.... that's a very long video... I LIKE!!! Thanks!!! :)
enjoy =)
@@autogefuehl I will... but I just woke up.(it's 7AM here in the US) Watching it with my usual 6 cups of espresso right now! :)
hehe =)
Huge Audi fan but this really had me leaning towards the BMW just concerned about BMW tech reliability. Thank you for such a thorough comparison.
Audi is more reliable than bmw in last years
I can't tell on BMW, but there are too much praise on the q3 than it is deserved. Done a test drive and it felt basic. That model was above 50k+tva and was lacking keyless entry and rear camera. You really need to go through all the options and pay attention to have a basic configuration.
I agree, we test drove a Q3 after having a few other Audi models, it felt extremely cheap and drove like a golf cart even compared to a basic A4
It depends on the locationz because I heard certain locations back up cam and others come standard?
Happy new year and keep it up with the very good presentations.
I am waiting for the Sdrive 20i Xline.
Come to Greece for a test drive.
Kudos!
Happy holidays!
Another great review, thanks for this Thomas. X1 is my choice over these two.
Thanks 🙏
Thomas, I like to wrap my hand around a nice knobby shift leaver 🤗save the shift leavers!
yess
I just test drove a 2024. I agree with all your points on why I don’t like it.
Another excellent report Thomas! I have to say, I am not surprised, but a little given the Q3 was a Quattro, helps with decision:) Also, I think the buttons in Q3 and the shifter are the winner.
Cheers!
Masterpieces.
Very good comparison! X3 vs Q5 next?
Cheers! We already have this one: ruclips.net/video/AJaqgkYqmqE/видео.html
I have never seen Thomas to be so excited about any car in a comparison and I have not yet driven the X1 so cannot really comment about the driving but it looks so much better than the previous iteration. 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.
12:35 I have had a different experience with the Audi. I am 6 foot 3 or 191 cm and I had much more legroom in the Audi.
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.
Bmw x1 without doubt!! I had the x1 F48 I was really happy! Now I have the bmw serie’s 3 because I wanted more sport, but the new x1 U11 It’s wonderful!!🎉🎉🎉
i would like to see more comfort features like right elbow rest. Most of the cars have right arm rest too low or too far back to reach. I think it is important for driving comfort and long drive.
@Autogefühl, Thomas, please, please, pleaaaseee, make review on the 30e X1 PHEV
Love my 2022 Q3! 10k miles and it is flawless. I have the largest engine which I recommend. Fuel economy is good on the highway but lacking in the city. My first Audi and certainly not my last.
Great comparison! I am looking at a used 2023 Q5 Prestige and a used 2023 X1 28i... only $4,000 US $ more for the bigger/plusher but less modern looking Audi Q5...which would you choose?
Great video. Agree with your result. The X1 is a cracking car 👍
Great review 👍🏻 I will choose X1 too! But I think the trend is BEV. So... Do you know without boost paddle for iX1 Xline, how can output the max 313hp? Or Xline don't have the max HP vs Msport?
cheers!
How does the Mercedes-GLA compare to these two or would be the GLB be a better competitor? I like the BAM sound effect! What are the cameras you use on the driver's window and the windshield? The footage from the smaller one seems so crisp!
Adamların karşılaştırmasına bak hele ya ne güzel 👍
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]?
Hi Thomas, thanks for your very nice test of these 2 cars.
I am very interested in a test between BMW IX1 electric and Audi Q4 and MB GLA electric and Volvo XC 40 Electric.
Wishing you the best for 2023.
Coming soon!
Enjoy XC40 content here: ruclips.net/video/xkkCC-KsyYg/видео.html
Exceptional video Thomas!!! Such an indepth conparison of the two cars,great work indeed!!! What your opninion of the X1 vs the Mercedes GLA???
Thanks 🙏
See it here: ruclips.net/video/Yl5gZb-pqUo/видео.html
Yes, i have already watched the video but deciding between the two? Which one would you pick?
@@liquid2004 X1 since it’s just been released.
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.
Cheers!
Yeah we ll plan that!
Nice review, but also just wondering where is your jacket from?
Hollister :)
Would love to see comparison on off road capability.Perhaps the most important comparison point since both are crossover SUVs.
Unpaved, muddy roads and light floods are the norm in my area, I would pick the one that can tackle this.
Interesting to see if you can compare new iX1 and iX3 LCI side by side!
We ll try to do more!
I love this audi q3 but, the interior from BMW ist just amazing. Absolutely sick! Krank!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Thomas and all at Autogfuhl i hope as you do that there will be some great new SMALL EVs coming out in 2023,24 that are Animal Cruelty Free.
Merry xmas my friend and thanks for the support !
Super hard choice. Both are grate, but I think that maybe the Audi is starting to show its age a little bit?
I think I would choose the bmw, but I would definitely miss the climate unit and the virtual cockpit in the Audi.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year
Happy holidays!
Very good review with timestamps make it something special.
Welcome 🤗
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).
A4 shifter is electronic like the lever. Q3 still has mechanical shift.
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
New 5 series is coming in 2023!
Current Mercedes interior quality is simply bad, both materials and assemble quality is far away from Audi and BMW. You will be disappointed with GLC compering to 5 series.
I agree the msport ride on 20” wheels is too fidgety. The msport is 14mm lower and higher spring rate hence the firm ride. The xline on 18 or 19” wheels is so much better
Your name this look easy. I know there's so much more time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears, that go into production behind the scenes.
indeed. Thanks for acknowledging!
Alfa Tonale comparison please!
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. :)
Please make a direct comparison of the facelifted G20 3 series with the New C Class.
sure we can do that. Maybe you ll like this: ruclips.net/video/XSMi0Y1nEWE/видео.html
@@autogefuehl looking forward to it.
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.
Glad you liked it!
Maybe do a x1 vs x3....kind of like you did with the xc40 vs 60...is the bigger car the better choice?
Sure we can do that
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.
cheers!
Sadly no legal offroad areas nearby here.
I also think it depends on the concise offer at the end of the day which to pick.
@@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.
The Audi wins hands down because it has proper physical controls for climate and a real gear lever. The BMW suffers from touchscreen madness. You can’t even increase the fan in the BMW without getting lost in the complicated touchscreen screen menus.
I do not like either Audi's or How's. They are far to large and heavy and a waste of the earth's resources.
Modern BMW's noses are far to large and ugly. Won't be buying either. I do not like German cars .
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.
I Agree is the BMW might have the better Drive suspension-and transmission but the Q3 is better looking so I went for the Q3. ..PS you always do a great job on the videos 👍really appreciate it
Thanks! Please recommend our channel! 🤗
How do you like your Q3? I just test drove one and really like the steering compared to the BMW. I own an X1 but the price, the ability to use regular fuel and the steering have me leaning towards the Audi.
How about interior sound dampening. Which one is quieter inside when driving?
I've driven both cars too. Without all the options the X1 wins, but when you can affort a full option Q3, this car seems to be better (It also looks more premium). Personally I don't bother about the space on the backseats. Most of the time I'm driving all alone (like most people)
We love our ‘23 Q3 with the larger engine but, lots of hard plastic in the cabin - definitely not up to Premium car standards.
I am really disappointed with Audis. Interior / exterior design....
It's the same with my 2018 Model .
BMW did a big jump and I am going for the BMW X1 xDrive23d X-Line this summer. I did a test drive on both of them ...
No more Audi for me .. 😡😡
As a fun I am really angry and disappointed with Audi ..
The sportsback looks great but the price difference with the extras that I want it's big
very timely and diligent.
From what I understand, BMW X1 now has dual injection - inc. port - so as to clean valves. Audi Q3 in USA do not have that. But this 2.0 Audi engine takes regular gasoline vs premium for BMW.
Cheers!
wow....again x1 is a great car, not just the looks. reminds me of e84 as compromise, but also as tail lamps 😂

awesome =)
Any thoughts on X1 v X3?
Hi Thomas. The 19-inch wheels were also not in favour of Aud stiffer suspension. I would recommend comparing suspensions with the same size rims.
Cannot pick the rim sizes individually
@Autogefühl Yes I understand this, anyway thank you for the high-quality content, as usual by the way.
My dad and I were looking for cars for me when I turned 15 last year. We were gonna get the 2022 X1, it it lacked technology and looked the same in the last decades. We went with the Audi q3 which k think is also a great car since it is the first one for me. Despite now of me looking and admiring at the X1’s new features, the Audi q3 is also a great car. It just looks more sportier while the x1 shows more of a classy tadte
Not at all. You are comfortably one of the very best and thorough reviewers on YT. I fully expected the conclusion since BMW is making better vehicles than Audi across the board these days. The VW group is falling short at the moment and is clearly behind BMW. My apologies for giving you the wrong impression.
Thanks for clearing it up 😎🙌
I would need a comparison of the previous generation
X1 20i xline aut.

@@autogefuehl okay thank you so much-and hey which brand do you think is the more reliable one between Audi Bmw and Volvo?😍.........
@@rahuljayachandran4128 New BMW and Audi are pretty much the same in reliability but Audi ranks just slightly more reliable but still pretty much the same
@@jouhajohnny Thanks for letting me know-Have a nice rest of the weekend😀😀...........
@@rahuljayachandran4128 Actually I checked again and the roles are reversed 😮
Hello Thomas!
What do you think about the new Volvo XC40 and RR Evoq, compared with this two?

Evoque is no match
