With so many models on the market, it can be difficult for Westlake Village drivers to decide on their next luxury SUV. Sifting through performance specifications, interior design, and convenience amenities often leads drivers to two top models: the 2023 Porsche Macan and the 2023 BMW X3. While both SUVs offer sophisticated style and high-end features, only one will end up in your garage. See Porsche and BMW go head-to-head in the BMW X3 vs. Porsche Macan comparison from Porsche Westlake.

 

 

BMW X3 vs. Porsche Macan: Standard Performance

The 2023 Porsche Macan and BMW X3 both start their lineups with a 2.0L turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, but the 2023 Macan has an edge. With the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung dual-clutch transmission, the Porsche Macan’s engine can pump out more horsepower and torque than the BMW X3. In addition, the Porsche Macan starts with standard all-wheel drive for increased control and handling on the Malibu roads, something that costs extra in the 2023 X3 lineup. Take a look at the differences between the Porsche Macan and BMW X3 starting engines below to see which base model gives you the power you want for your drives through Agoura Hills:

2023 Porsche Macan Base Performance

  • Engine: 2.0L Turbocharged I-4 Engine
  • Transmission: 7-Speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
  • Drivetrain: AWD
  • Horsepower: 261 hp
  • Torque: 295 lb-ft
  • 0-60 MPH Acceleration: 6 seconds

2023 BMW X3 Base Performance

Porsche Macan vs. BMW X3: Premium Features

Whether you choose the Porsche Macan or BMW X3, you’ll find refined interiors that far outpace the competition. Still, the 2023 Porsche Macan offers a few more premium amenities as standard, such as:

  • Leather Seating: The BMW X3 starts with standard SensaTec® simulated leather seating trim, a comfortable and economical choice, and can be upgraded to actual leather trim in the top-line configurations. Meanwhile, the Porsche Macan offers the real deal from the start– partial leather seating standard in the base trim level.
  • Heated Front Seats: Warm up on those cool mornings with standard heated seats in the Porsche Macan, a feature that requires additional options or packages on the BMW X3.
  • Infotainment System: The BMW X3 and Porsche Macan interiors are similar, with standard wireless smartphone integration, built-in navigation, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. However, the starting BMW X3 infotainment screen measures only 10.25 inches, almost a full inch less than the Porsche Macan’s 10.9-inch screen.
