If you are looking for a pre-owned compact SUV, you have many options at your disposal. Two of those options are the Volvo XC60 and the BMW X3. Both the XC60 and the X3 have been staples in the compact SUV segment for years now. They are among the best-selling compact SUVs on the market, and whether new or pre-owned they are usually at the top of the list of anyone looking for a used SUV. Here, we take a look at each option and how they compare in terms of interior space, value, and other elements that are important for anyone looking for a pre-owned SUV.
One of the most impressive elements of the Volvo XC60, even when it is pre-owned, is the balance of comfort and driving pleasure that it offers. The Volvo XC60 is simply a blast to drive and even though it is spacious and even though it is versatile, it doesn't neglect comfort and balance either. This is a very important element that should be considered. The Volvo XC60 will give you everything you want from your pre-owned SUV, but experts will tell you that although the X3 is known for the driving pleasure it offers, the XC60 delivers more comfort without sacrificing driving pleasure.
In terms of available powertrains, most pre-owned Volvo XC60 models that you find on the market will feature a 2.0-litre turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine with 316 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque. This always gives you enough performance to pass and accelerate with confidence, and it also gives you slightly better accelerations and overall performance than what you find in the model we are comparing here.
On the other hand, used BMW X3 models will usually feature a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder engine with 258 hp and 248 pound-feet of torque. The X3 has a bit more power, the the XC60’s torque is superior which means that in most daily driving situations, the XC60 will deliver better performance.
