The 2019 BMW 2-Series is the classic coupe which has been reimagined for the modern era. This fun and stylish alternative to hatchback and compact saloons is a real fun car to drive with its BMW TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the 2019 Audi A3 is a four-door sedan that boasts an elegant design and a fairly decent family car to drive. Here are some comparisons between both cars.
Design & Style
The 2019 BMW 2-Series has BMW’s signature driver-focused dashboard, providing comfortable reach to the controls. The sporty steering wheel that’s used in the M-sport models makes an appearance in the 2-Series, giving the interior a race-car look and feel. The cabin is well designed and offers sufficient space for both the front-seat and back-seat passengers. The exterior is no let-down as well and is an absolutely stunning car.
The 2019 Audi A3 continues to provide top-notch quality for their interiors with stylish interior designs and the use of premium materials. However, its dashboard looks fairly sparse and isn’t as good looking as the 2-Series but does the job. The front seats on the A3 is spacious and provides a really comfortable ride for passengers. The rear seats, however, might be a bit cramped for those sitting in them.
Technology & Safety
The 2019 BMW 2-Series carries the iDrive infotainment system and comes with a reliable navigation system as well. Other technologies included in this ride are its 6.5-inch display, Bluetooth interface, and a USB port. On the safety side, active park assist, automatic high beams, rear and front parking sensors, as well as daytime pedestrian monitoring are some of the aids to watch out for.
The 2019 Audi A3 comes with the MMI infotainment system which provides navigation services. The star of the show for the A3 would be Audi’s Virtual Cockpit, which is a 12.3-inch screen that features navigation services and media information with the car’s gauges. The car also provides a nine-speaker audio system, two USB ports, Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay services. Safety features included in the A3 are an ignition disabling device and in detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion.
Performance
Performance is where the 2019 Audi A3 pales in comparison to the 2019 BMW 2-Series. With a four-cylinder, turbocharged engine, the 2019 Audi A3 reaches a maximum output of 186 horsepower. In the case of the six-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine for the 2019 BMW 2-Series, its engine is pegged at 248 horsepower. If you’re looking for a strong performing engine with great fuel economy, the BMW 2-Series is the car to choose!
The Bottom Line
Besides being a stunning car to look at, the 2019 BMW 2-Series shines in its performance, design and its features. It has the best technologies in its class and oozes with a lot of quality materials to form its classy cabin. It also is remarkable for its engine performance as well as its commendable fuel efficiency ratings.
