Used BMW X3 vs New Honda CR-V - pictures

The BMW X3 has a premium feel inside, leaving the Honda CR-V lagging behind in terms of interior quality.

<p class="short-teaser">The BMW X3 is an extremely capable SUV with a roomy interior, efficient engines and a great driving experience.</p>

<span>The cabin is just as low key as its exterior, but what the BMW X3 lacks in daring design it makes up for with a thoughtful layout and a first-rate finish.</span>

<span>With the rear seats in place, boot size in the BMW X3 is a useful 550 litres, but a 1,600-litre load space when the seats are folded can't match some its rivals.</span>

<span>The X3 may not be the most exciting car to look at, but it's instantly recognisable as a BMW thanks to the trademark kidney grille and twin circular headlights.</span>

<span>The BMW X3 handles brilliantly for any car, let alone a high-riding off-roader. It has the kind of agility and poise that puts some saloons to shame.&nbsp;</span>

<p class="short-teaser">The Honda CR-V is massively practical – and comfortable, too – but lacks sparkle compared to some of its crossover rivals.</p>

<span>The Honda CR-V is well-equipped, with entry-level models coming with dual-zone climate control, 17-inch alloys wheels, multifunction steering wheel, heated electric mirrors and cruise control as standard.</span>

<span>The Honda CR-V is one of the most practical cars in the compact SUV class, and offers 589 litres of boot space with the rear seats in place.&nbsp;</span>

<span>The previous generation Honda CR-V looked a little awkward from some angles, but the latest version has a cohesive, no-nonsense look about it.&nbsp;</span>

<span>Grip is decent in the Honda CR-V, especially on four-wheel drive models, but the slow steering means you have to turn the wheel more than you might expect to navigate a corner.</span>
