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, with its powerful turbocharged engine, the Audi TT is another contender in the luxury sports car category. 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. The cabin is well designed and offers sufficient space for both the front-seat and back-seat passengers.
The interior of the car is where the Audi TT shines! The seats, armrests, door handle and the driver console are trimmed in nappa leather, giving it a luxurious and sturdy feel. The four-seater car provides generous space which is rare for cars in this configuration. However, Audi’s virtual cockpit isn’t very practical. Being the only screen on the Audi TT that operates the navigation and media system, it might be an issue when you’re on the road.
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 TT comes with a 10-speaker audio system, USB ports, and a satellite radio. It also has been gifted with a user-friendly infotainment system and Audi’s virtual cockpit. Safety-wise, features include those of electronic stability controls, a full set of airbags and child seat mounts.
Performance
With a four-cylinder, turbocharged engine, the 2019 Audi TT reaches a maximum output of 245 horsepower. In the case of the four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine for the 2019 BMW 2-Series, results are pegged at 248 horsepower, and 259lb-ft of torque. While they have similar horsepower, fuel efficiency ratings are higher for the 2-Series. It reaches 24mpg/35mpg for city/highway driving, whereas the Audi TT only reaches 23mpg/31mpg for city/highway driving.
The Bottom Line
There may be some aspects with which the 2019 Audi TT will impress car lovers out there. However, it is obvious that it has lagged behind the BMW 3-Series in many aspects. From the better-performing engine to the better design of the 2-Series, it is no denying that the 2019 BMW 2-Series is the better car in this comparison.
