Toyota Hilux 2020 vs BMW X3 2021
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.8 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Toyota Hilux) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (BMW X3) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

| Ground clearance: | 293 mm (11.5 inches) | 204 mm (8 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Toyota Hilux 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. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 320'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 10 years | 11 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Toyota Land Cruiser | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including BMW 3 sērija, BMW Z4, BMW 4 sērija, BMW X4 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. BMW X3 might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
