I test drove both and slightly preferred the EQC for its 4-wheel drive and its very heavy, safe feel. But overall, the iX3 felt like a compromise that can do everything. It doesn’t feel as heavy as the Merc, but gives a sporty feel and still is comfortable. Its assistance systems can be configured to a great extent, and it comes to a full stop in one-pedal driving which the EQC does not. But most of all, the iX3 has superior efficiency; on my test drive on the same route (city-country-freeway) in very similar conditions, it averaged 16kWh vs 21kWh of the EQC. I took delivery of my iX3 ten days ago and haven’t looked back.
@@MrBazsi888 with „heavy“ feel I mean sturdy, well built-like a tank (my last ICE was a Volvo XC90, very „heavy“). The facelift (at least on the high end model) comes with a pretty hefty but unjustified price hike.
@@vocart yeah, I can't wait! Tested a lot of cars and it came out far better than the rest (didn't test EQC or i-Pace cuz budget), it literally blew away the Q4, which blew my mind tbh. Also tested Tesla MY but even before we left the parking we knew the suspension would never be acceptable (rock-hard), and that was only the LR version, not even performance... 😅 Glad to hear you like yours! June - half December = 6 months, guess I'll be hoping for April then!
The two videos were not even filmed in the same location. Road surface makes a huge difference with EV's since tire noise is pretty much all you hear. Oh and I ordered the EQC too.
We chose iX3. The Benz is faster but is also awfully floaty and the interior feels smaller and darker esp. in the back. iX3 is a nicer place for the kids, and more fun behind the wheel.
It’s just interesting how there is such a sound difference in this video? There will always be an element of personal choice and that’s what makes the world interesting. Having owned a BMW i3 for the last 6yrs BMW aren’t even in the running in the EV market at the moment, Kia, Hyundai, Polestar and Tesla are dominating, for good reason.

since when iis "heavy" a positive attribute? ix3 by far. but why not wait for the facelift modell?

Wrong the eqc 400 goes full stop in one pedal drive
Plus range is better on eqc
@@TrustMeIKnowEverything not true the merc does around 194 miles and the ix3 257 miles in the real world so the merc has a far worse range
iX3 for sure after its 2022/LCI facelift! Expected Jan 2022
When did you order and if I may ask - what dealership? I'm assuming
I ordered one end of October @JUMA Mechelen, hence my inquiry
@@LaNoches June 2021. Received LCI 3 weeks ago. You’re gonna love it 😂

got a sad update... had to pass by the dealer and asked for an update and he stated my car's expected in June, so 2 months later than anticipated :'(
The video has no sound ?
Test drove IX3, EQA, EQC, Audi etron & Q4. The IX3 is more like a normal competent car and I felt more in control.
for me the iX3 seems quieter and a nicer interior during night drive.
And you, which one did you prefer Johan ?
I like BMW a lot, but in comparison to the Mercedes, I would go for the EQC. I like the digital dashboard of Mercedes way more than that of BMW.
奔驰
Eqc400

I prefer the EQC, don‘t like the speed up noises the BMW makes. Kinda annoying.
You can turn that off, it goes via the sound system....
How would you compare the ix3 to the audi q4?
EQC for sure 👍🏼
I dont like the design from
the Bmw.

EQC is better for me 🤔

Mercedes all day long.. It is 2 leagues above the little X3..
I prefer the iX3. Quieter during the driving and the self parking looked much more space efficient
How can you say the iX3 is quieter, the noise in this video of the motors is so prominent?
@@waynebailey8619 in the mean time I’ve done a test drive in both cars…..confirming my observation

@@paulschreinemakers326 the eqc is one pf the Most quiet Cars ever and a lot pf Tests Proof that the ix3 is noisier
The artificial electric noise of the iX3 reminds me of a poorly made motorcycle game from the late 90's lol
The BMW, about 2 weeks the car is there 😊
Bmw ix3
of course
Ofc Eqc
Ix3 anytime
Both are heavy but Merc is a power whale that is bloated with brakes that cannot cope.
That’s no comparison! It’s a show….
Bmw ix3 win
I would choose a petrol X3
I guess you love today’s petrol prices.
