BMW and Porsche are two big names in the automobile industry with a rich history behind these companies. Both entities are known for manufacturing some of the mind-boggling luxury cars that we have today, and this includes the 2019 Porsche Macan and the 2019 BMW X4.
Design & Style
The 2019 Porsche Macan is a 5-seater model with partial leather upholstery and 8-way power adjustable seats at the front. You can upgrade for heated front seats or complete leather upholstery. The front seat is great for long trips, but is completely opposite for the rear seats. You have a lesser legroom, and taller passengers will find it difficult to get a relaxing position. The cabin has quality materials and soft-touch points, but the overall appeal is not as upscale as other rivals.
The BMW X4 is blessed with ample interior space that can comfortable accommodate five riders, and there are plenty of support to keep you stable. If you are a tall person, you can rest assured to find a relaxing position at the back. The cabin looks good with its high-grade materials and opulent appeal, which is missing in most rivals.
Technology & Safety
Porcshce Macan comes standard with its PCM infotainment interface that comes included with USB ports, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi hot spot, satellite radio, voice controls, navigation and 10.9-inch screen. Apple CarPlay is not available in the base model. The intuitive touch screen is quick to respond, but the graphics is of inferior quality. The dash has plenty of buttons, which can be confusing. A rearview camera, lane departure warning and parking sensors come standard in every Macan.
Standard tech features in the 2019 BMW X4 include iDrive infotainment system, Apple CarPlay smartphone integration and 12-speaker audio system. There are a lot of positives about the iDrive system, making it one of best infotainment systems in the market today. You can get used to it within a day. Standard safety features include adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, rearview camera, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking.
Performance
The base Porsche Macan comes with a turbo-four engine that can generate up to 248 HP and 273 lb-ft of torque. It is nothing like the X4’s 248-HP powertrain, which offers more power and better handling compared to Macan.
The Bottom Line
The 2019 BMW X4 is a great asset. It has an elegant cabin, intuitive infotainment system, high safety score and athletic handling. Not many models can compete with the sportiness and luxury offered by BMW X4. There is hardly any other alternative that can match its class.
