Audi Q3 Sportback vs. BMW X2 M35i: A Clash of Compact Luxury Coupe-SUVs
Two premium coupe-SUVs are now competing for buyers in the compact luxury market. The Audi Q3 Sportback arrives with a sportier design and multiple powertrain options. Meanwhile, the BMW X2 M35i counters with more power and a slightly roomier interior.
The Audi Q3 Sportback stands out with its coupe-inspired roofline, sitting 1.1 inches (29 mm) lower than the standard Audi SUV. Its rear styling includes split taillights, while the front features a bold, wide grille and slim headlights. Inside, the cabin ditches traditional stalks for an unconventional steering column control hub, paired with a smaller central screen than the BMW X2’s.
The Audi Q3 Sportback brings distinctive styling and flexible engine choices to the segment. The BMW X2 M35i responds with extra power and a marginally larger cargo area. Buyers now have two sharply contrasting options in the premium coupe-SUV class.
