Buying new 2018 X5 vs new 2018 X3

[smkuma]

I am thinking to buy new 2018 X3 with Premium package and Driver Assistance package.
I am also wondering if it is worth it to buy new 2018 X5 with Premium package and Driver Assistance package instead for about $8000 more.


While me and my wife do not really need a bigger vehicle as we own Honda Odyssey. But I am attracted to X5's 6 cylinder engine compared to 4 cylinder engine in X3.


Does X5 comes with HUD, navigation, Panaromic moon roof as standard. Also does X5 drives smoother compared to X3.
I believe X3 is completely redesigned new generation vehicle starting 2018. Is that case with X5 too


Please help me justify the rationale if/ why should I go for X5 instead of X3, even if it means $8000 more than X3.

You can get the same 6 cylinder in the X3, so that shouldn't be a factor.

I would take an X5 over the X3, but that's a personal preference.

I vote split the difference and get an X4.
