Head to head
Mercedes-Benz EQA vs BMW iX3
A side-by-side comparison of published Australian specifications, including WLTP range figures.
The verdict
Both cars quote the same 400 km WLTP range, so range alone won’t separate them. The BMW iX3 is the better fit for families needing extra boot space, with 510 litres and 5 seats versus 340 litres and 5 in the Mercedes-Benz EQA. On price the Mercedes-Benz EQA starts about A$2,050 lower, while the quicker of the two off the line is the BMW iX3 at 6.8s.
On the measured specifications below, the Mercedes-Benz EQA leads in 1 area and the BMW iX3 in 3.
