Video Description

Shop for a new Audi Q5 on CarGurus: https://cargur.us/1hv52n Shop for a new BMW X3 on CarGurus: https://cargur.us/1hv4XH Compact luxury SUVs remain some of the hottest vehicles on the market, and two of the newest contenders are the 2025 Audi Q5 and BMW X3. Both have been fully redesigned this year, with each brand taking a different approach to evolution. The Audi Q5 sticks close to its winning formula, keeping its familiar shape and understated elegance with only subtle updates to its styling. Meanwhile, the BMW X3 embraces a bolder transformation. Its fourth generation brings sharper lines, a more modern profile, and a grille that’s assertive without being over the top. These two SUVs may share a segment, but they represent distinctly different philosophies on what luxury should look and feel like in 2025.
