Porsche Macan vs. BMW X3: Performance & Drivetrain

The base Porsche Macan configuration and the 2019 BMW X3 both come with a standard 248-hp 2.0L I4 engine. However, the Porsche Macan generates 273 lb-ft of torque, while the BMW X3 produces only 258 lb-ft of torque. What’s more, the Macan has an AWD drivetrain and can tow up to 4,099 pounds, making it ideal for adventures around Saratoga and San Jose. The X3, on the other hand, only comes with a RWD drivetrain and towing isn’t recommended.
