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 Mercedes Benz B-class is a 5-seater compact MPV that offers a lot more space than their A-class sibling, yet provides the same great interior that the A-class offers.
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 interior of the 2019 Mercedes Benz B-class doesn’t disappoint as well. The layout of the dashboard is practical and makes using it easy. The use of tactile, premium, black plastic and metal touches in common places gives the interior a luxurious feel. The seats are spacious enough and provides sufficient leg-room. However, our only criticism is that its interior doesn’t feel quite as well-built as compared to the 2-Series.
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 Mercedes Benz B-class comes with a touch-screen infotainment system. While it isn’t as intuitive as the 2-Series’s infotainment system, it has quite a number of clever technology built into it. Other features include Siri-style personal assistant, augmented reality navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and USB ports. Besides the mandatory safety equipment in place, the B-class offers active cruise control and lane keeping assist as well.
Performance
With a four-cylinder, turbocharged engine, the 2019 Mercedes Benz B-class reaches a maximum output of 134 horsepower. In the case of the four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine for the 2019 BMW 2-Series, results are pegged at 248 horsepower. The BMW 2-series also has a better fuel mileage as compared to the B-class, making it the more fuel-efficient car between the two!
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.
