Whether you’re looking for an SUV that can go the extra mile without needing to stop at the pump or an engine that can churn out an available 382 horsepower, the X3 is the way to go. Unfortunately for XT4 drivers, the only offered engine is the standard 2.0L engine.

The X3, on the other hand, takes climate control even further by offering the standard automatic 3-zone climate control system. With this, rear-seat passengers can also set their preferred temperature—something that’s not offered with the XT4.
