If you're shopping for a luxury SUV in Montgomery, the 2026 BMW X3 and 2026 BMW X5 are two of the most popular options on our lot. Both deliver athletic performance, premium comfort, and BMW’s signature technology, but they serve different needs. Understanding the differences can help you choose the model that feels right for your daily life.
Size and Interior Space
The most noticeable difference is size. The 2026 BMW X3 is a compact luxury SUV, making it easier to maneuver in city traffic and tight parking areas. It provides comfortable seating for five and solid cargo room without feeling oversized.
The 2026 BMW X5 is a midsize luxury SUV with more cabin space, more cargo volume, and a stronger overall presence on the road. While the X5 remains a two-row SUV, it offers larger seating areas and a more substantial interior, which many drivers prefer for long trips or growing families.
Performance and Driving Feel
The X3 delivers quick, confident acceleration with a lighter, more agile feel. It’s efficient, responsive, and ideal for commuting around Montgomery and Auburn. The X5 steps up with stronger engine options, a smoother ride, and more available performance upgrades. If you want extra power or a more refined highway experience, the X5 has the advantage.
Both models may offer electrified powertrains depending on configuration. Explore BMW’s electric lineup here: BMW Electric Vehicles.
Features and Technology
Both SUVs feature BMW’s latest digital displays, driver-assist safety systems, and modern connectivity. The X5 simply offers larger available screens, higher-end materials, and more advanced package options. The X3 remains well-equipped, offering strong value for drivers who want luxury without stepping up to the midsize class.
