The 2021 BMW 3-Series is designed to offer an exceptional driving experience. Sleek and featuring an aggressive stance, the 3-Series is a great-looking car that has a lot to offer anybody who enjoys driving sports sedans. In order to cater to those who are concerned about the environment, BMW has added a hybrid model for 2021. The 2021 Jaguar XE on the other hand offers a smooth and refined ride. Handling and driving dynamics are also top-notch and you can expect to have few problems with this superbly engineered sedan. However, some of those few problems include cabin space, especially for rear-seated passengers. Here is a comparison between these two sedans.
Design & Style
When it comes to styling and design, the 2021 3-Series exudes sportiness in every bit of its body. The sedan has a low profile as well as large sporty wheels. The cabin is also tastefully done with top-notch materials to enhance that premium feel. Apart from the styling, the roomy cabin ensures that even the rear-seated passengers have enough legroom. With the 2021 Jaguar XE, you get an equally well-designed sports sedan. The car follows the current styling cues of Jaguar cars which gives it a modern and sleek look. The interior is also well done although as mentioned earlier, space is an issue in this sedan.
Technology & Safety
For tech and safety features, owners of the 2021 BMW 3-Series get a host of tech. This includes an 8-speaker audio system as well as a touchscreen infotainment display that is super responsive. Powered by BMW’s superb iDrive, the system is easy to use. Other standard tech includes smartphone integration and phone charging facilities. In the 2021 Jaguar XE, standard tech includes a ten-inch infotainment display that features crisp clear graphics. The system however is not as responsive as that of the 3-Series.
Performance
Under the hood, the 2021 BMW 3-Series comes with a turbocharged 2-liter engine as standard. You do however have the choice to upgrade to more powerful engines or even a hybrid. Performance is silky-smooth, especially because this engine is mated to an 8-speed transmission system that is incredibly efficient. With the Jaguar XE, you get a 2-liter turbocharged engine as well that also gives the XE incredible acceleration and power. Ride quality is top-notch and the suspension system handles surface imperfections with ease.
The Bottom Line
When it comes to the BMW 3-Series and the Jaguar XE, this was always going to be a tight comparison as these two are superb automobiles. However, the 2021 BMW 3-Series edges out the 2021 Jaguar XE when it comes to tech and cabin space. For this reason, the BMW 3-Series easily wins this comparison.
