Why Buy a 2023 Mazda CX-50 instead of a 2022 BMW X3?

The Mazda CX-50 has a lot to offer. It takes all the performance, technology and versatility of the CX-5 and puts them in a rugged package that will take you anywhere you want to go. It is trail-ready and has a good towing capacity so you can take your boat, ATV or any other leisure vehicle you want along for the ride. Plus, the Mazda CX-50 rivals most compact luxury SUVs in terms of fit and finish.

Here, we take a look at why you should buy a Mazda CX-50 instead of a BMW X3.

The 2023 Mazda CX-50 delivers in terms of handling and performance

Performance is at the heart of every Mazda vehicle thanks to state-of-the-art engines and driving dynamics that charge ahead of the competition in terms of performance and efficiency.

The Mazda CX-50 offers a choice of two engines. The first one is a four cylinder, naturally aspirated engine that outputs 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. This engine is more efficient than the X3’s main engine. The engine is the 2.5-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine with an output of up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque, which is more torque than all non-M X3 models.

The CX-50 raises the bar in terms drivability with Mazda’s i-Activ AWD system, which is much more advanced than the BMW X3’s system in all driving conditions. Moreover, the CX-50 is trail-ready thanks to impressive ground clearance, heavy-duty body cladding and the Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) technology.

The 2023 Mazda CX-50 brings refinement and affordability to the table

The Mazda CX-50 is a much better value than the X3 with a starting price of $37,900 for a very well equipped CX-50 compared to $52,990 for a base BMW X3. That’s quite the price difference! The CX-50 also delivers unparalleled interior refinements with a carefully assembled cabin that uses only the finest in terms of materials and textures. This driving environment is more refined than what you will find in the BMW X3.

Taking all these advantages into consideration, one can safely say that the 2023 Mazda CX-50 is a much better value than the BMW X3 thanks to its superior driving experience and better reliability.
