2022 BMW 7-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 7-Series vs. 2021 Tesla Model S The 2021 BMW 7-Series is the largest sedan that BMW has to offer and so a lot of work went into ensuring that it has the right blend of luxury and performance. The cabin of the 2021 7-Series looks and feels like a suite in a luxury hotel. Everything about it is premium and is covered with high-quality leather. This large sedan is remarkably agile on the road and maintains BMW’s reputation for making extraordinary cars. When it comes to the 2021 Tesla Model S, you get an all-electric sedan that is surprisingly fast and comfortable. Though spartan in its design and interior, the revolutionary styling and outstanding range of its electrical engine is a pleasant surprise to many buyers. Here is a comparison between these two full-size sedans and a verdict on which one comes on top. Design & Style The 2021 BMW 7-Series lies in a segment where manufacturers ensure that no effort is spared to make their offering here as luxurious as possible. Competing with the likes of the S-Class from Mercedes Benz and the Continental from Lincoln, BMW went out of its way to make the 7-Series a clear contender in this category. Quilted seats covered in high-quality leather are just some of the features that make the styling of the 7-Series truly luxurious. The car has extra-ordinary presence too and the large polished grille is imposing. When it comes to the 2021 Tesla Model S, the emphasis was on a minimalist design that brings out its modern styling cues. However, compared to the 2021 7-Series, the Model S is rather spartan. Given the price tag of the 2021 Model S, this would probably make any car buyer hesitate to choose the Model S over the 7-Series. Technology & Safety For tech and safety features, car buyers get the best that BMW has to offer in the 2021 7-Series. Satellite navigation is standard and operated via a brilliant 12-inch infotainment system that handles both voice, touch, and gesture commands. Wireless charging, smartphone integration are just a few of the other tech features that come as standard on the 2021 7-Series. The 2021 Model S on the other hand features a number of tech and safety features. In a nod to its futuristic theme, all cabin functions are controlled via a giant tablet that is located on the center console. While attractive, it makes it very hard to drive while at the same time operating the infotainment display. Performance For power, the 2021 7-Series relies on a choice of three turbocharged engines namely, V12, V8, and V6. All three produce a blistering performance and you will never feel that the 7-Series is underpowered despite the engine trim that you use. Cabin insulation is excellent as you would expect in a car of this pedigree and the ride quality is superb. When it comes to the 2021 Model S, you get an all-electric engine with plenty of power. The car feels very experimental and one gets the feeling that Tesla has not quite worked all the kinks out. It wobbles around corners and the suspension is not anywhere near that of the 2021 7-Series. The Bottom Line Comparing these two extra-ordinary vehicles, it is clear the 2021 7-Series is streets ahead of the 2021 Tesla Model S From luxury features, tech features, and ride quality, the 7-Series is a far superior vehicle to the Model S. This makes it a clear winner in this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW 7-Series Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW 4-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 4-Series vs. 2021 Chevrolet Camaro When it comes to great looks and brilliant performance, the 2021 BMW 4-Series is streets ahead of any other vehicle in its category. This two-door series from BMW distinguishes itself as a true sports car with the looks and performance to go with it. Despite being a two-door sports sedan, the 2021 4-Series is still a very functional car with enough leg space in the rear and a generous trunk space. The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro on the hand delivers on the performance and is a great car to ride. However, it is a very impractical car for anything else. The rear seat is almost unusable by adults due to the limited leg and head space. Here is a comparison of these two popular two-door sports sedans and a verdict at the end of the comparison. Design & Style One of the outstanding qualities of the 4-Series is the distinctive sporty design. With a low-hanging profile, flared side panels, and aggressive lines, the 4-Series is one of the sportiest sedans available in the market. The 4-Series also features a plush interior with premium materials lining every bit of the cabin. The 4-Series also features an instrument panel that is intuitively designed for easy use. That said, this is an excellent car that will turn heads anywhere. The styling of the Camaro is also highly distinctive and has made the Camaro one of the most identifiable cars in the US. But beyond the exterior styling, the 2021 Camaro has some serious design issues. Rear space is so tiny as to make it impractical. Trunk space is virtually nonexistent. The cabin is so cramped that this is a car that can only appeal to those who are happy to sacrifice every other functionality of a car for the sake of premium engine performance. Technology & Safety As one would expect from a BMW model, the 2021 4-Series features outstanding tech and safety features. Infotainment is via a superb 8-inch infotainment system that can be upgraded to a ten-inch system for those who want more. Smartphone integration is standard, as is the blind spot monitoring system and much more. The Camaro on the other hand features an 8-inch infotainment system that is not upgradable like the one on the 4-Series. The 2021 Camaro also features smartphone integration although to enjoy the best features (such as wireless connectivity), one has to upgrade to higher trims. Performance The BMW 4-Series is powered by a 2-liter turbocharged engine that gives the 2021 4-Series plenty of power when you put the gas pedal down. However, if you are looking for a composed ride, the 4-Series delivers that as well without any fuss. The ride quality is superb and the suspension is excellent as keeping surface imperfections away from the cabin. The 2021 Camaro, on the other hand, comes with a 2-liter turbocharged engine although you can choose bigger engines including a V8 variant. All Camaro variants deliver an outstanding driving experience, the only thing perhaps that this sports sedan does very well. The Bottom Line While these two sedans have performance in their DNA, few Americans ever buy a car for just one function. BMW has made the 2021 4-series as sporty as the Camaro but they did so without compromising any other functionality. The 2021 Camaro on the other hand delivers a thrilling ride but is mostly impractical for any other use. For this reason, the 2021 4-Series easily wins this comparison.

2022 BMW 3-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 3-Series vs. 2021 Mazda 6 The 2021 BMW 3-Series is a phenomenal sports sedan with great styling and exceptional performance. The sedan has aggressive sports lines that run through the course of the body, further enhancing its sporty look. Under the hood, the 2021 3-Series has a powerful turbocharged engine that delivers an amazing ride. BMW thoughtfully added a hybrid model for car enthusiasts looking for a greener option. On the other hand, the 2021Mazda 6 also features great styling and interior features. Let us compare these two cares and see how they square against each other. Design & Style The 2021 3-Series was designed to be a sports sedan and this shows in every single element of its styling. From the low-riding profile with aggressive lines to the flared wheel arches, the 3-Series was meant to thrill car enthusiasts looking for an every-day car that could still deliver the thrill of driving. Inside the cabin, BMW did a great job with the styling. Everything inside the 3-Series feels premium and well thought out. In the 2021 Mazda 6, build quality is less than premium, and lots of surfaces are covered by cheap hard plastics. Still, the cabin is comfortable and those looking for an everyday car will not be disappointed by the Mazda 6. Technology & Safety The 2021 3-Series delivers tech and safety features in spadefuls. Infotainment is via a composed eight-inch touchscreen display that is intuitive and easy to use. One also gets an 8-speaker audio system as standard, which is pretty good. However, if you need better audio, there is always the option of upgrading to a more premium audio system. Other features that come as standard in the 3-Series include smartphone integration and phone charging outlets. With the Mazda 6, there is less to offer in the area of tech and safety features. The 2021 Mazda 6 has a touchscreen display but the touchscreen feature only works when the car is stationary. The system is also unintuitive and the graphics are not good at all. Performance The 3-Series is motivated by a 2-liter turbocharged engine that comes with the base model. Higher trims offer a lot more. Regardless of the trim that you take, you can be assured that the 2021 3-Series will deliver an amazing ride. Being a sports car from BMW, it handles very well and corners are dispatched with ease. The 2021 Mazda 6 on the other hand delivers a less than satisfactory ride. The 2-liter engine in the base model is not tuned for sporty driving and this shows. Even worse is the suspension that causes the cabin to shake when driving on uneven surfaces. The Bottom Line A comparison between the 2021 Mazda 6 and the 2021 BMW 3-Series can only have one winner. The 2021 3-Series is miles ahead of the Mazda 6 in almost every way. From build-quality to tech features available to ride-quality. The BMW 3-Series easily wins this comparison.

2022 BMW X7 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X7 vs. 2021 Audi Q7 Given the fact that the 2021 BMW X7 is the flagship SUV of the BMW range, no effort is spared to ensure that everything about this luxury SUV is finely engineered. With a spacious cabin, host of tech features, and superb ride comfort, there is little about the X7 that one can fault. When it comes to the 2021 Audi Q7, you get a well-engineered SUV that handles properly and has enough tech features to match most of its counterparts in this segment. The big problem with the 2021 Q7 is that it feels average compared to its BMW rival. This is due to a variety of factors that we shall explore in this comparison. Design & Style The 2021 BMW X7 is a large SUV that somehow still manages to combine sporty looks with a certain refined stance. This makes the 2021 X7 look at home in any driveway and also still exude sporty looks. It comes with a panoramic sunroof as well as ambient LED lighting in the cabin. Everything in the cabin is premium and intuitively designed for ease of use. When it comes to the 2021 Audi Q7, buyers can expect the same exterior styling that Audi uses for all its vehicles. While not bad looking, there is nothing new about the 2021 Q7 to get excited about. The cabin is also comfortable and the dashboard uncluttered. Technology & Safety The 2021 BMW X7 comes with a host of tech features including a 12.3 infotainment display that is easy to use. Powered by BMW’s iDrive software, the system responds promptly to any command that you input. The infotainment system handles voice commands and even gesture commands. Other tech features include a standard 10-speaker audio system as well as satellite navigation. When it comes to the 2021 Q7, you get an infotainment display that also handles touch commands but is not as responsive as that in the 2021 X7. Given that you can only operate it via touch, the sluggish infotainment system becomes problematic when operating it while at the same time driving the car. Performance Under the hood, the 2021 BMW X7 comes standard with a six-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers a refined ride. The 2021 X7 never feels underpowered at any point and handling is excellent. Cabin insulation is superb and all external noise is kept off the cabin. Just as good as the suspension system that ensures a comfortable ride. When it comes to the 2021 Audi Q7, buyers get a turbocharged 3-liter V6 engine that also adequately powers the large Q7. Ride quality in the base model is not as good, although it improves somewhat when you go for the optional 21-inch wheels. The Bottom Line Comparing the 2021 BMW X7 and the 2021 Audi Q7 comes down to the details. While both cars are good, the 2021 X7 is better engineered, features better tech and the interior build feels like a true luxury SUV. This makes it the winner of this comparison.

2022 BMW X3 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X3 M vs. 2021 Porsche Macan The 2021 BMW X3 M is an incredible SUV that combines the handling of a sports car and the utility of a sedan. As a compact crossover, the 2021 X3 M has the acceleration of true sports sedans and its large engine can muster up to 500 hp. It has a spacious rear seat and generous trunk making it a practical everyday car. The 2021 Porsche Macan is a compact SUV that also offers excellent ride quality and badge prestige. However, the 2021 Macan features a sub-standard cabin with cheap plastics in the base model. Given the price tag on this SUV and the fact that it is a Porsche, this is a surprising fact. Let us examine these cars and determine which of the two is the better one. Design & Style The 2021 BMW X3 M is a beautifully designed car with stylish curves and an aggressive stance. The interior is equally as stylish and everything on the instrument panel is placed exactly where one would expect it to be. We were able to fit a number of suitcases in the trunk and the rear seat offers ample head and legroom. The 2021 Porsche Macan is also stylish and follows the design cues of Porsche models. Cabin space is problematic however and the Macan has a smaller trunk. The biggest problem with the interior of the 2021 Macan is a lack of premium materials. Hard plastics are everywhere, something that most buyers will find unacceptable in a car that is worth this much. Technology & Safety When it comes to tech and safety features, buyers of the 2021 BMW X3 M get a 10-inch infotainment system, phone charging capabilities as well as a Harman Kardon audio system. Smartphone integration is also standard and for those who want more, a host of options can enhance these features. In keeping up with its spartan theme, the 2021 Porsche Macan offers very few tech features as options. There are phone charging facilities and an infotainment system but that’s just about it. To get other features, one has to choose a higher trim or purchase these as options. Performance The 2021 BMW X3 M is powered by a twin-turbo 3-liter engine that is incredibly powerful. Naught to sixty is achieved in just 3 seconds, which is comparable to many supercars. The 2021 X3 M is built to deliver a sporty performance in an every-day car package. It does this superbly. The 2021 Porsche Macan is powered by a turbocharged 2-Liter engine that is pretty adequate but nowhere near comparable with the 2021 BMW X3 M. Still, ride quality is decent and the Macan comes with a well-tuned suspension and a well-insulated cabin. The Bottom Line Even though the 2021 Porsche Macan is often referred to as a sports SUV, the fact is that the 2021 X3 M has the true sports pedigree. The BMW also edges out the Porsche when it comes to tech features, cabin quality, and a lot more. The 2021 X3 M thus easily wins this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X3 M Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW X3 M for yourself.

2022 BMW X3 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X3 M vs. 2021 Jaguar F-Pace Possessing the practicality of a sedan and the looks of a sports car, the 2021 BMW X3 M is a motoring enthusiast’s car. The monster twin-turbo 3-liter engine sends the 2021 X3 M tearing down the track at speeds that are comparable to those of supercars. But 2021 X3 M also offers a composed ride when you need it for your shopping run. The 2021 Jaguar F-Pace is Jaguar's attempt to create a car with sporting ride dynamics but at the same time one that can be used as an every-day ride. The 2021 F-Pace succeeds in doing this and while performance is not comparable to that of the 2021 BMW X3 M, it is good enough to satisfy most motoring enthusiasts. Design & Style Practical and beautiful, the 2021 X3 M comes with lots of space in the cabin and the trunk. You can fit a number of large suitcases in the trunk and that even before lowering the back seat to create more space. The cabin has a premium look and feel and the instrument panel is designed to make dashboard operations as effortless as possible. The 2021 F-Pace is stylish, albeit in a dated kind of way, with aggressive contours and flared wheel-arches. With LED ambient lighting in the interior and a well-decked out cabin, the F-Pace offers the same sort of luxury that one would expect in a car of this pedigree. Technology & Safety From a ten-inch infotainment system to a standard Harman Kardon audio system, the number of tech features in the 2021 X3 M is astounding. The infotainment system is powered by BMW’s iDrive software ensuring that the system is responsive to your commands. The Jaguar F-Pace offers a host of tech features including a highly responsive infotainment display as well as smartphone integration. While the audio system is fairly good, it is not comparable to that in the 2021 X3 M. Performance As mentioned earlier, the 2021 BMW X3 M’s 3-liter twin-turbo engine is able to move the 2021 X3 M from naught to sixty in just three seconds. For a car that is just as practical for school runs, this is a feat of engineering by BMW. The suspension is superb and the cabin is quiet even at high speeds. The 2021 Jaguar F-Pace is powered by a turbocharged 2-liter engine that delivers great performance but is not comparable to that in the 2021 BMW X3 M. Given that these two cars are designed for sporty performance, this will be a letdown to any person buying the F-Pace for the ride thrill. The Bottom Line Both the 2021 X3 M and the Jaguar F-Pace have a lot to offer drivers. However, the BMW-X3 M edges out the 2021 F-Pace when it comes to sheer power, handling, and ride quality. This makes the 2021 X3 M an obvious winner in this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X3 M Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW X2 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X2 vs. 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman As far as stylish looks and great handling is concerned, the 2021 BMW X2 sits at the very top of the niche. The plush cabin as well as a generous trunk space all add to the utility value of the car. Handling is superb and everything is intuitively placed within reach on the instrument panel. The 2021 BMW X2 is an excellent example of German engineering at its best. The 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman is essentially a bigger version of the famous Mini Cooper. The increase in body size however has an effect on handling, especially at high speeds. Here is a comparison between these two cars. Design & Style For 2021, BMW has gone ahead and redesigned the front end of the car. The 2021 BMW X2 features a new grille as well as wheel designs. The sporty look and aggressive stance are still there. Inside the car, the cabin is as spacious as ever. The instrument panel is designed to ensure that you have all controls within your reach without cluttering the panel. The 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman is simple an enlarged version of the Mini Cooper. This means that the design is great although nothing about it is likely to sweep you off your feet. The cabin is plush and comfortable, complete with LED lighting. All said, the Countryman is well designed and offers a spacious trunk space. Technology & Safety With an 8.8-inch infotainment display and many other tech features, the 2021 X2 will excite any true car enthusiast. The infotainment system uses BMW’s iDrive software which ensures that the system has zero lag and the graphics are outstanding. The base model comes with an 8-speaker audio system which we found quite sufficient. However, the option to upgrade the audio system exists. The 2021 Countryman also comes with a host of tech and safety features. The infotainment display is smaller than that of the 2021 X2, coming in at just 6.5-inches. One can upgrade to something similar to the 2021 X2’s system but it will cost more. Performance For 2021, BMW X2 combines a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with an automatic 8-speed transmission system. The result is a superbly-powered car that also handles well. BMW is good at making sporty cars that handle well and the 2021 X2 is a prime example of that ability. When it comes to performance and handling, the 2021 Countryman struggles. Having enlarged the body, Mini Cooper then placed a three-cylinder engine in the car, grossly under-powering the Countryman. Acceleration is sluggish and the handling is terrible. Higher trims have better engines again, which means paying more. The Bottom Line The 2021 BMW X2 and the 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman may be in the same niche but they are not competing. In a segment that is known for sporty performance, the 2021 Countryman is miles behind the 2021 BMW X2. This is why the BMW easily wins this comparison.

2022 BMW M2 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW M2 vs. 2021 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe When it comes to good looks and superb performance, you can always count on the BMW M2 to exceed your expectations. Despite the high bar set by the 2020 model, the 2021 M2 is even better with a more composed ride, great acceleration, and a host of tech features. The M2 is a car designed for motoring enthusiasts and the 2021 model carries on with this great tradition. The base model is priced at close to $70,000, the 2021 Cadillac ATS-V is not a cheap car. This is why many drivers may have a problem with the interior build. The use of less-than-premium materials in most Cadillac models is a problem that keeps cropping up. This somewhat undermines the vehicle’s sporty heritage. Design & Style The 2021 BMW M2 exudes sportiness with a great exterior design. The cabin is a comfortable place as well with premium materials all over the interior. There is plenty of room even for tall people and luggage space is just as equally generous. The 2021 Cadillac ATS-V is designed to attract car enthusiasts and a lot of work went into ensuring that it has a sporty stance and aggressive lines. The car has great styling and the cabin is large and comfortable. The lack of premium materials would not have been a major problem apart from the fact that this car competes in a category where buyers expect luxury features. Technology & Safety When it comes to tech and safety features, the 2021 BMW M2 is equipped with an 8.8-inch infotainment display that controls most cabin functions. The display is uniquely mounted above the dash and slightly angled towards the driver. This further enhances the M2’s sporty look and ensures that the infotainment display is easy to operate. When it comes to technology, the 2021 ATS-V a number of options that one would expect. A touchscreen infotainment display, smartphone integration, and so on. The infotainment system is a little sluggish and might be hard to operate when also driving the car. Performance The category that the 2021 M2 competes in is all about performance and this is obvious when you floor the gas pedal. The base model comes with a gigantic 3-liter twin-turbo engine that sends the 2021 BMW M2 tearing down a race track. Given the fact that this car is built for car lovers, the M2 comes with a manual transmission as an option for a truly thrilling ride. The 2021 Cadillac ATS-V is powered by a 3.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine which delivers a high-quality ride at normal driving conditions. However, this is not a car that will excite driving enthusiasts as it lacks the thrills that the BMW M2 has. The Bottom Line Given that this is a category that is defined by ride quality and sportiness, it becomes clear that the 2021 BMW M2 is a much better car than the 2021 Cadillac ATS-V. The M2 handles better, drives better, and even looks better. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW M2 Test Drive Today?

The Bottom Line Both the 2021 Jaguar F-Type and the 2021 BMW 8-Series are superb sports tourers so this is not an easy comparison. When it comes to the details, the v BMW 8-Series offers a larger cabin and trunk space. It is also a marginally better car to drive. For these reasons, the 2021 BMW-8-Series wins this comparison.

2022 BMW 7-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 7-Series vs. 2021 Maserati Quattroporte The 2021 BMW 7-Series is the flagship sedan in the BMW stable. This means that no effort was spared to make this car as luxurious and as high performance as possible. The 2021 BMW 7-Series features an interior that is full of creature comforts. The leather-covered interior feels like a luxury hotel and everything about the car is carefully thought out. When it comes to full-size luxury sedans, it doesn’t get better than the 2021 BMW 7-Series. The 2021 Maserati Quattroporte is Maserati’s attempt to rival other full-size luxury sedans and while it makes a valiant attempt, it quite does not hit the mark. The 2021 Quattroporte is decked out with fine materials in the cabin but it still has plastic knobs and switches that are clearly from models further down the range. Design & Style In a segment where manufacturers do their best to make their cars a luxurious as possible the fact that the 2021 7-Series stands out is testimony to the skills of the BMW engineers and designers. The styling of the 7-Series is both executive and sporty at the same time. The interior is luxurious in an understated way with the BMW designers taking time to ensure that everything is exactly where you would expect it to be. The 2021 Quattroporte is uniquely designed and will appeal to drivers who want to stand out of the crowd. However, the cabin is conspicuously smaller than all the other cars in this segment. This makes the 2021 Quattroporte not seem like it belongs in this niche. The interior is mostly made up of premium materials but the plastic bits serve to further lower the premium look and feel of this car. Technology & Safety The luxurious 2021 BMW 7-Series extends its executive feel to the range of tech and buyers can expect numerous tech features as standard. These include a 12.3-inch display as well as smartphone integration and phone charging consoles. The infotainment system is responsive and handles gesture and voice commands. When it comes to tech features, the 2021 Maserati Quattroporte is decked out with a 10-inch infotainment display that is reasonably good although not what you would expect in a luxury sedan with a six-figure price tag. Other features include smartphone integration and wireless charging. Performance Under the hood, the 20217 Series comes with a choice of V6, V8, and V12 engines. The V6 is enough to power this full-size sedan but people looking for more speed or power may opt for V8 or V12 variants. Performance is superb and the cabin insulation keeps external noise out of the cabin. Under the hood, the 2021 Quattroporte comes with two choices namely a twin-turbo V8 and twin-turbo V6. Both are excellent and offer the Quattroporte enough. Handling is excellent although the suspension is not quite as good as that in the 2021 7-Series. The Bottom Line While the 2021 Quattroporte and the 2021 7-Series are superb cars in every sense of the word, the 7-Series edges out the Quattroporte when it comes to details. The interior of the 2021 7-Series feels way more refined and the ride quality is better. For this reason, the 2021 7-Series easily wins this comparison.

2022 BMW 2-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 2-Series vs. 2021 Volvo V40 The idea behind the sporty 2021 BMW 2-Series was a sporty sedan is as much fun to drive as it is practical. In this, the designers at BMW succeeded. The 2021 2-Series comes standard with rear-wheel drive but those looking for a little more grip can opt for an all-wheel-drive variant. Regardless of the trim, you get a nimble sports sedan that is just as capable of handling everyday driving tasks. The 2021 Volvo V40 is a fairly practical crossover that comes with a range of engine variants including a diesel-powered one. Economical and reliable, the 2021 V40 is also unlikely to get your blood racing. Here is a comparison between these two automobiles. Design & Style When it comes to sporty looks, there are few vehicles out there that can rival the 2021 BMW 2 -Series. With large wheel arches and an aggressive stance, the 2021 2-Series is guaranteed to turn head anywhere you go with it. The cabin has a premium feel to it and features a lot of high-quality materials in the upholstery and dashboard. Trunk space is generous, ensuring that the 2021 2-Series is a practical car as well. The styling on the 2021 Volvo V40 is very unique, something that we have come to expect from Volvo. The 2021 V40 is sleek but not exactly sporty. Volvo enthusiasts will probably love the styling but most other people would see it as boxy. The interior is also uniquely designed but much of the interior build is exactly what you would expect from cars in this category. Technology & Safety When it comes to tech and safety, the 2021 2-Series comes with a host of features such as smartphone integration as well as real-time traffic monitoring. The 2021 2-Series also features a touchscreen display that is responsive and very intuitive. When it comes to tech features, you get a variety of options in the 2021 Volvo V40. These include a 5-inch infotainment display which is not as responsive as that in the 2021 2-Series. Also included is Bluetooth connectivity. The 2021 V40 however lacks Android Auto or Apple CarPlay integration as standard, unlike the 2021 2-Series. Performance The 2021 BMW 2-Series is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that ensures that you will have all the power that you need when you push the gas pedal down. The ride is superb and handling is exactly what you would expect in a BMW sports sedan. For those looking for more power, BMW offers the 2021 2-Series with a three-liter variant that packs quite the punch. When it comes to the 2021 Volvo V40, you get a variety of engines including a diesel variant. All these engines are very fuel-efficient although they lack the sporty feel that the 2-Series has. As with the styling, the single defining feature of the 2021 V40 performance is functionality. The 2021 V40’s ride dynamics are unlikely to excite driving enthusiasts. The Bottom Line While the 2021 Volvo V40 offers a composed ride, it lacks the sporty edge that defines the 2021 BMW 2-Series. This is a major letdown as vehicles in this category are defined by their sporty performance. The 2021 2-Series also offers better styling, cabin comfort, and tech features. This makes the 2021 2-Series the clear winner in this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW 2-Series Test Drive Today?
