BMW launched the 2018 X3 SUV in India in April this year to take on the 2018 Audi Q5, which went on sale here in January 2018. Both the German SUVs are evenly matched on the performance front. They are powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine and that too with an identical output of 190PS/400Nm. However, while the X3 comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Q5 gets a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
