Seat Tarraco 2021 vs BMW X3 2021
| Comparing electrical vehicle (EV) with combustion engine (ICE) one is a complex task, but we are doing our best. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 1.4 Hybrid | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Hybrid engines (Seat Tarraco) offer better fuel economy and lower emissions than petrol engines, especially in city driving with frequent stops. Petrol (BMW X3) engines, however, are typically less expensive to buy and maintain, and offer more consistent performance on highways. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Seat Tarraco) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (BMW X3) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 192 mm (7.6 inches) | 204 mm (8 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, BMW X3 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this BMW X3 version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from seven 4x4 versions of BMW X3 2021 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
