How to do subexercises or exercise parts with the xsim package?

I quite often see, and myself create, exercises which consist of multiple subexercises or parts, like this:
# Exercise 1
Two cars are traveling in opposite directions.
They are 2.7km apart, driving 50km/h and 65km/h, respectively.
a) Write the equations of motion for the two cars.
b) Find the time t at which the two cars will meet.
c) Find the distance traveled by the cars when they meet.
As far as I can see, this is not a feature directly provided by the xsim package. Any recommendations on how to achieve this by other means?
A solution with the enumerate or itemize environment works, but maybe there are other ways.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{xsim}
begin{document}
begin{exercise}
Two cars travel ....
begin{enumerate}
item Write the equations ...
item Find the time ...
item Find the distance ...
end{enumerate}
end{exercise}
end{document}
If one uses a solution like the above one, one has to keep the subexercises or parts in the same order in both the exercise and solution environment manually.

Which features of an xsim exercise do you need for your subexercises?

For my purpose it is mostly the automatic numbering and keeping exercises/solutions paired up correctly. If I change the order of my enumerate items in theexerciseenvironment, then I manually have to change them in the in thesolutionenvironment as well. Some people might want some points bookkeeping to work with subexercises/parts as well.
