Hi there,

Among the three of these - BMW X3 , Audi Q5 & BMW X4, which one is better in terms of
handling, performance & reliability.
Is there a major difference between the X3 & X4?

Appreciate your inputs. Thanks in advance.

Really, your question only relates to BMW vs Audi, as the X3 and X4 are basically the same car apart from styling.
The X3 has been in the market for a lot longer than the Q5 and has earned a good reputation for reliability. BMW handling is also well regarded.
The Q5 is arguably more stylish. It's not so firm riding as the BMW and perhaps offers a softer, more comfortable ride, but the BMW probably handles a bit better as a result.
So depending on what is important to you, either of these are good.
