jejupods wroteWith the transmission- do you experience the delay all the car reviews say is present?My wife and I went the opposite way to you Kavatski! Cross shopped a few different manufacturers (Mercedes, Audi, Volvo), landed on the X3, then test drove the X1 on a whim and we enjoyed way more than we thought we would - my wife really liked how much roomier the interior felt. I would have been happy with either, but like you say - a fully optioned X3 was significantly more expensive which is why we ended up with a loaded X1.
JK479 wroteI haven't received mine yet, but I'll be sure to report back. I was specifically looking for this when I went out and test drove the X1 though. For reference I'm coming from a loaded 2019 Honda Pilot with Start/Stop, and frankly the Honda is awful. So awful that I actually let off the break right before the light changes so the engine has started by the time my light turns green. I did notice a slight delay with the X1 but frankly it wasn't as bad as the Honda... So I suppose it's all relative? In my limited test drives the X1 seemed perhaps a bit worse than the X3 but it wasn't a deal breaker for me nor my wife (which is the important thing).With the transmission- do you experience the delay all the car reviews say is present?

amilcarnj wrotewas it the "Pro" or "Plus" that you bought? I thought the Pro version had to be ordered with the car. The "Plus" version is available for purchase after delivery.. I did not get the assistant pro since it was 1700 extra but I was surprise i was able to get it from connect drive for half the price or subscribe for 20 a month.
amilcarnj wroteMust’ve been the plus because you can’t add the Pro via Connected Drive or subscription as it needs specific hardware. I did not get the assistant pro since it was 1700 extra but I was surprise i was able to get it from connect drive for half the price or subscribe for 20 a month.

MontyB1 wroteCheck your measurements again..on paper X1 has more space than X3 inside.The X3 is larger internally on most measurements, I felt the X1 felt more spacious than my X3 does oddly. It seems to be more efficient on the space being primarily FWD and the engine is transverse mounted the cabin gets more to play with.
Will be interested to see what ours look like side by side when the wife gets hers.
MontyB1 wroteHonestly said - it will never be X3.Well done for the effort yeah I meant to say X1 not X3, have commented before the X1 is more spacious and thus the rest of my comments say the same, no idea why it says X3... doh.
It's a very well packaged car, the X3 does sit a little higher from the drivers seat but not massively so. It is a little quieter but not sure if that is the acoustic glass mine comes with but not all X3 are fitted with that.
MontyB1 wroteI'm pretty sure that the X3 I drove last year had HUD.(at least in the US)Plus and it's a big factor for her she loves the HUD, to the extent that she only shortlisted cars that could have one.
