TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 BMW X3 is a do-all small crossover loaded with luxury, technology, and usability, with a dash of sporty personality.

The 2022 Cadillac XT4 fits compact-car moves into a worthy entry-level SUV, but the interior could be better.

TCC Likes

The best BMW to buy?
Strong engine choices
Decent standard safety gear

Great looks
Solid turbo grunt
Comfortable ride

TCC Dislikes

Mighty expensive when loaded up
Wallflower styling
Grabby hybrid brakes

Don’t go crazy with options
All-wheel drive isn’t top-notch
Rear seat's just OK
