TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 BMW X3
| 2012 BMW X3 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | Thanks partly to power-adjustable side bolsters, the X3's optional sport seats are both supportive and comfortable. They're firm where you want them to be firm, yet (unlike those in the Audi and Mercedes-Benz) cushy where you want them to be cushy. The Volvo XC60's seats are also very comfortable, but can't quite match the BMW's lateral support. You sit substantially higher than in a BMW sedan, both relative to the ground and to the instrument panel. The windshield is more distant than in the original X3, making the current one seem considerably larger, but it remains more upright than in most recently designed crossovers. The forward visibility many people buy a crossover to get can be gotten here. Rear seat legroom increased by an inch with the 2011 redesign, and is now competitive. A couple of adults will fit, so there's no compelling functional reason to step up to the X5 unless you require tall people to be comfortable back there. see full BMW X3 review | |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed automatic FWD |
Not enough rear seat legroom for a car in this class. see full Volvo S60 review |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Minimal rear seat leg room. Our kids are 9 & 8 - we are having to look for a replacement car as they are getting too big for this one. To offset the front seats are as comfortable as I have experienced in a car. Now considering an S80 or XC70. see full Volvo S60 review |
