Having said that, the new X5 is very nice, and the difference is more subtle than before. But it's still there. A loaner Macan base is the worst example to drive. It's literally based on the first generation Q5. Drive a newer Macan GTS and compare that to an X3, then let me know. I agree with you on the cargo space though. |
Yep, was going to say that - a base macan barely compares with an X3 30i, a macan GTS is a different story. I cross shopped a Macan GTS and an X4M , and the GTS is leagues above in ride quality, steering feel, engine sound. While this might sound like confirmation bias, i also own a G80 M3 which i love, but yeah, mid sized SUVs, Macan GTS is where it was at for me.
