Both the BMW X3 and the Volvo XC60 provide a decent amount of towing capacity, although the X3 comes out slightly ahead with 4,400 pounds compared to the XC60’s 3,500 pounds.
Whether you’re hitching up a small trailer, a small camper, or bringing ATVs or bikes along, the 2022 BMW X3 goes a bit further to ensure you have what you need for your trip.
While both the 2022 BMW X3 and the Volvo XC60 offer plenty of versatility, the 2022 BMW X3 comes out ahead in terms of available engine power and cargo configurability. But you don’t have to take our word for it. You can give it a go yourself by scheduling a test drive at BMW of Jackson.
