If you're shopping for a small luxury SUV, consider all critical factors such as price, maneuverability, and standard features before you make your choice. The 2022 Cadillac XT4 is an exceptional value because it's loaded with first-class amenities, but it comes at a lower starting price than most of its rivals. The 2022 BMW X3 is also a refined luxury SUV, but it's not as good of a deal for the price. Read the following comparison by Cadillac of Birmingham to see why the XT4 is better.
Performance
Maneuverability
The 2022 Cadillac XT4 is a subcompact luxury SUV that's only 181 inches long, so it's a cinch to park and maneuver through narrow spaces in Birmingham. Light steering and a small turning radius make it especially easy to navigate.
The 2022 BMW X3 is a compact SUV that's 186 inches long. Its lengthier body and larger turning radius make it a bit less simple to squeeze into small spots than the XT4.
Standard Powertrains
The 2022 Cadillac XT4 comes standard with a turbocharged 235-horsepower four-cylinder engine that makes 258 pound-feet of torque. This motor gives it plenty of zip for merging into highway traffic in Birmingham. The XT4 can bolt from 0 to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds.
The 2022 BMW X3 comes with a turbocharged 248-horsepower four-cylinder engine, but it also produces 258 pound-feet of torque. Since the X3 is a longer SUV than the XT4, the extra horsepower doesn't make the X3 that much faster. It takes 7.7 seconds to get from 0 to 60.
Gas Mileage
People in Birmingham will make slightly less trips to the fuel pump with the 2022 Cadillac XT4. It earns 24 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway when properly equipped.
The 2022 BMW X3 only gets 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway in its most efficient configuration.
