The 2021 X6 comes with a luxurious cabin as one would expect from a car of this pedigree. BMW also offers this car in a variety of powertrains ensuring that there is an X6 for almost all driving needs. The 2021 Porsche Macan is equally decked out with a spacious cabin and offers an equally impressive ride. The luggage space small but many drivers may decide to overlook this. In this article, we examine both SUVs and compare them against each other. Design & Style As mentioned earlier, the cabin of the 2021 X6 cocoons passengers in complete luxury. Everything about the exterior and interior is premium and the instrument panel is designed for easy operation. There is plenty of cabin and luggage space which makes the 2021 X6 a car that you can use for every-day activities. The 2021 BMW X6 comes with power-adjustable front seats and features excellent ambient lighting. The 2021 Porsche Macan disappoints when it comes to interior design and luxury. For a Porsche, many drivers will be somewhat disappointed by the less-than-premium look and feel of the interior. The 2021 Macan also features very few interior cubbies meaning that passengers will struggle to find places to put their phones and other items while in the 2021 Macan. Technology & Safety For the 2021 X6, drivers get a host of tech and safety features. These include a 12.3-inch touchscreen display that handles both Apple CarPlay and Android Audio. BMW’s proprietary iDrive software is easy to use and has no lag whatsoever when using the infotainment system. Input to the infotainment system can be through voice commands and even hand gestures. With the 2021 Porsche Macan, you get a variety of tech features which include wireless phone charging. Almost every other tech feature on the 2021 Macan is an option, something which may again disappoint buyers. The car does feature USB ports and 12-volt outlets for charging various devices. Performance BMW offers the 2021 BMW X6 in three powertrains with the most powerful being the V8 model. Performance is excellent and the car accelerates with no fuss at all. Handling is nimble and the eight-speed automatic transmission delivers a great ride. When it comes to the 2021 Porsche Macan, buyers can expect a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that comes in the 2021 Macan base model. One can also opt for the twin-turbo V6 which also delivers a superb performance. While the ride is refined and smooth, the 2021 Macan struggles a little around corners. The Bottom Line Both the 2021 Macan and the 2021 X6 are superb vehicles and have a lot to offer to any driver. However, the 2021 BMW X6 edges out the 2021 Porsche Macan when it comes to interior luxury as well as performance. For this reason, the 2021 X6 is the clear winner in this category.

2022 BMW X3 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X3 vs. 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe The 2021 BMW X3 is an SUV that rides like a sports car. Thanks to BMW’s legendary engineering skills, this nimble SUV handles corners and tight turns with ease. Interior design is also premium with plenty of space for both human beings and cargo. With plenty of technology and safety features, you can’t go wrong with the 2021 BMW X3. The Hyundai Santa Fe is also a very attractive SUV with the 2021 model featuring several upscale features. This gives the 2021 Santa Fe plenty of curb appeal and the roomy interior is also great for families looking for a people carrier. Here is a comparison between these two cars. Design & Style One of the biggest advantages of buying the 2021 BMW X3 is the fact that you get a lot of features as standard. For example, rear-passengers get reclining seats as standard, a feature that is not available in most other cars of its category (Not even as an option). The cabin is glossy and has an authentic premium feel to it. This allows the 2021 X3 to be a car that you can use to attend a glitzy party and then do school runs the following day. The 2021 Santa Fe features fewer premium features in the cabin although the cabin design is not bad at all. The cabin is comfortable and with certain upgrades, can be made somewhat luxurious. These upgrades include heated seats and digital gauges. Still, drivers looking for an ordinary SUV to handle day to day activities will probably not mind the 2021 Santa Fe’s shortcomings. Technology & Safety With a 10.3-inch infotainment display, the 2021 X3 is miles ahead of the Santa Fe. Throw in the iDrive software that is easy to use, features high-quality graphics and you have a clear winner when it comes to tech and safety features. The 2021 X3 also comes with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to easily connect your smartphone to your car. The 2021 Santa Fe offers an 8-inch infotainment system that is mounted at the top of the dashboard. Infotainment output is average and users looking for a better experience can opt for an upgrade that delivers a 10.3-inch touch screen. Performance BMW is famous for making cars that are fun to drive and the 2021 X3 is no exception. The SUV is powered by a 2-liter turbocharged engine that is finely tuned for an excellent performance. Zero to sixty is achieved in a blistering 6.2 seconds and cornering is superb. With a well-tuned suspension, road imperfections are canceled out. All said you will enjoy driving the 2021 BMW X3. The 2021 Santa Fe offers drivers several options when it comes to drivetrains. The base model features a 2-liter engine that generates about 190hp. While sufficient for everyday use, this is not a car that will thrill a discerning driver. Better engine variants are available but you have to pay for higher trims. The Bottom Line When all is said and done, the 2021 X3 is a far better automobile than the 2021 Santa Fe. The BMW beats the Hyundai in almost all categories. It drives better, handles better, and even looks better. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X3 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW X2 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X2 vs. 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio When it comes to thrilling rides in a compact and functional SUV, there are few cars out there that can beat the 2021 BMW X2. It features a plush cabin that is designed to ensure that all the controls are easily within your reach. With a roomy cabin and a generous trunk, the 2021 X2 is a highly functional car that can easily handle school and shopping runs. It however retains its sporty ride and still delivers a great ride quality. Alfa Romeo seemed to have designed the 2021 Stelvio to be a car that delivers a sporty ride at the expense of functionality and comfort. With that in mind, the 2021 Stelvio is great to look at and the interior fairly comfortable. However, there is limited space at the rear seat and even less space in the luggage area. In this article, we compare the two SUVs and deliver a verdict on which one is the best. Design & Style With a refreshed grille and more options when it comes to wheel designs, the 2021 BMW X2 looks and feels stylish. The 2021 X2 has a plush interior with an upscale look that bolsters its premium heritage. The instrument panel is also well designed with no clutter and with great attention to detail. The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is equally well designed. The exterior is sporty and gives the Stelvio an imposing stance that one would expect from SUVs at a much higher price point. However, this was not extended to the interior and much of the cabin is covered by cheap plastic material that takes away from its premium look. Technology & Safety BMW has outfitted the 2021 X2 with a variety of tech features that are sure to thrill all X2 enthusiasts. These include an 8.8-inch infotainment display that has no lag and features clear graphics. The seven-speaker audio system is great and while an upgrade option exists, the standard audio system is quite sufficient. With the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, infotainment is via an 8.8-inch display that can be controlled by touch. The build quality of the system is not as responsive as in the 2021 X2 and sensing this, the engineers at Alfa Romeo added a rotary controller to supplement the touchscreen. Performance With the 2021 X2, buyers get a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers an impressive performance. Mated with 8-speed automatic transmission, the 2021 X2 handles smoothly on both highways and rough roads. The superb suspension system makes for excellent ride quality as well. The 2021 Stelvio on the other hand is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that offers sufficient power to the Stelvio. The car handles well and is a thrill to drive around corners. The suspension is also quite good and passengers can expect a refined ride even over uneven terrain. The Bottom Line While both the 2021 X2 and the 2021 Stelvio occupy the same niche, the 2021 X2 is by far a much more superior car. It handles better and has a better interior design. It also is more well-rounded, with ample cargo and cabin space. For these reasons, the 2021 X2 wins this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X2 Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW X2 for yourself.

2022 BMW X1 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X1 vs. 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan When it comes to the 2021 BMW X1, buyers can expect a thrilling ride in a compact and sporty SUV. Ride quality is superb and the 2021 X1 offers enough interior space to make shopping runs a breeze. The interior is also well-designed ensuring that all controls are exactly where you would expect them to be. The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan is also well designed although many people might find the boxy exterior design a bit dated. The 2021 Tiguan is one of the few compact SUVs that offer a third row of seats although fitting an adult back there can be quite a feat. Here is a comparison between these two compact SUVs. Design & Style The 2021 BMW X1 is styled to exude a sporty look and feel. The aggressive lines that sweep to the back as well as the tapered headlights all add to the sporty look. Inside, the 2021 X1 is comfortable and the interior has an upscale feel to it. While Volkswagen opted to keep the conservative exterior design, the interior of the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan is a little more modern. Materials used in the cabin are not premium at all and the instrument panel is cluttered and takes some getting used to. Technology & Safety When it comes to tech and safety, the 2021 BMW X1 comes with numerous features with many more available as options. All models feature an infotainment system that is powered by BMW’s iDrive. This provides for a crisp experience with no lag at all. All trims also come with Bluetooth connectivity which makes it easier to connect your phone to the 2021 BMW X1. With the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan, buyers get a host of features including smartphone integration as well as a nine-speaker audio system. Other options are available but for a hefty price. Performance Under the hood, the 2021 X1 features a 2-liter turbocharged engine that ensures that the 2021 X1 never feels underpowered. The 2021 X1 is also connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers a smooth drive. This compact SUV is composed around corners and delivers a quiet ride even at high revs. When it comes to the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan, you get a four-cylinder turbocharged engine with an output of 184 horsepower. This is sufficient to power the 2021 Tiguan although anybody looking for a thrilling ride is likely to be disappointed. The Bottom Line The 2021 BMW X1 is miles ahead of the 2021 Tiguan when it comes to many features. These include ride quality, interior design and handling. While the 2021 Tiguan is an excellent car, it is designed with functionality in mind. The 2021 BMW X1 however beats the Tiguan in functionality but at the same time delivers a superb ride quality. This makes the 2021 X1 the clear winner in this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X1 Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW X1 for yourself.

2022 BMW X1 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X1 vs. 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman The 2021 BMW X1 promises a great ride quality as well as a spacious cabin. The 2021 BMW X1 is not only a thrilling ride but also practical as a run-around car. With a responsive engine and generous trunk space, you are sure to enjoy this well-built SUV. When it comes to the 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman, what you get is a larger version of the tiny Mini Coopers that made the brand famous. Driving quality is nowhere near its predecessors though and handling can be problematic at high speeds. Here is how the two cars compare against each other. Design & Style BMW has made a few but significant changes to the 2021 BMW X1 model. Customers looking for a sportier look and feel can order the M Sport which comes with a host of attractive features including sports seats. The beautiful kidney-shaped grille and the aggressive stance are still there. The cabin has a premium feel and is beautifully designed for maximum comfort. The 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman is distinctly styled with LED lighting in the cabin helping enhance its premium feel. The taillights feature a Union Jack motif which helps promote its British heritage. Not much has changed on the inside though apart from gloss-black elements on the dashboard that replace the previous chrome-trims. Technology & Safety For 2021, the BMW X1 gets SiriusXM satellite radio as standard in all trims. Other than that, customers can still expect the iDrive-operated infotainment system that is controlled via an 8.8-inch touchscreen display. Bluetooth and smartphone integration are also standard in all models. Safety features such as forward collision warning are also standard in the 2021 BMW X1. The 2021 Mini–Cooper Countryman offers a variety of tech features although most fall short of the 2021 BMW X1. For example, the 2021 Countryman only offers a 6.5-inch infotainment screen as standard. To get a similar touchscreen to the 2021 X1, buyers have to cough up more cash to upgrade the trim. Performance A four-cylinder, 2-liter turbocharged engine provides all the power that you could ever need in the 2021 X1. Even when carrying full loads, the 2021 X1 never feels underpowered at all. The engine is controlled by an 8-speed automatic transmission that makes for a silky-smooth drive. When it comes to the 2021 Countryman, the base model comes with a three-cylinder turbocharged engine that is not powerful enough to move such a heavy vehicle with any kind of effectiveness. The result is a disappointing drive with the car struggling to power through the gentlest of hills. To get better performance, one has to go for higher trims which means paying more money to the dealership. The Bottom Line There is very little to compare between the 2021 X1 and the 2021 Countryman. The BMW is a better vehicle in almost every way. From design, performance, and tech, you are better off buying the 2021 BMW X1. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X1 Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW X1 for yourself.

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW M5 vs. 2021 Tesla Model S While the 2021 BMW M5 is categorized as a sportscar, the fact that you can get the 2021 M5 with a V8 engine that produces an incredible 617hp makes it more than just a sports car. The 2021 M5 edition is even better with a highly sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and track-ready features. The Tesla Model S was one of the first mass-produced all-electric cars that showed the world that electric cars could be everyday-use cars. The 2021 version of the Model S improves on its predecessors, offering more range and more features. The basic car design remains largely the same with a few changes made to the interior. Design & Style When it comes to the 2021 model of the BMW M5, the car features a pleasant leather interior that is properly decked out with proper sports seats. LED ambient light helps set the mood inside the cabin, which is pleasantly spacious for a compact sports sedan. Exterior styling is excellent as well and the 2021 BMW M5 is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. The Tesla Model S remains largely unchanged for 2021. The exterior styling is a little bland and does not compare with most of the other cars in its category. Inside the car, the cabin is spacious, although it cannot be described as luxurious. The 2021 Model S still feels like an experimental car and therefore any buyers will have to accept the bland styling as a work in progress. Technology & Safety With the 2021 M5, buyers can expect a 12.3-inch infotainment display that is located at the top of the dashboard and slightly inclined towards the driver. The infotainment system is powered by BMW’s iDrive software and can be controlled via voice, gesture, or touch. Also included are smartphone integration and Wi-Fi hotspot features. When it comes to the 2021 Model S, all the car’s features are controlled via a giant touch screen that is located in the middle of the dashboard. While this gives the 2021 Model S a futuristic look, it can be a little difficult (and probably dangerous as well) to operate the car while at the same time scrolling through what is essentially a giant tablet. Performance As mentioned earlier, the 2021 M5 comes with a choice of engines that buyers can choose from. The base model features a 4.4-liter V8 engine that churns out 600 horsepower. This powers the 2021 M5 from naught to 60 in just 2.8 seconds. This is the sort of performance that one expects from pricier supercars. If you need more power than that, you could opt for the Competition model which produces 617 horsepower. The 2021 Tesla Model S is powered by an all-electric engine which propels the base model from zero to sixty in an impressive 2.4 seconds. The ride quality is good and the 2021 Model S handles corners with ease. The suspension is not quite as refined as in the 2021 M5 and so road imperfections can be felt in the cabin. The Bottom Line While the Tesla Model S is a pathbreaker in many ways, discerning drivers looking for a thrilling yet composed sports car would probably opt for the 2021 BMW M5. The BMW beats the Tesla in interior styling as well as delivers a far better ride quality. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW M5 Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW M5 for yourself.

2022 BMW M4 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW M4 vs. 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S The 2021 BMW M4 features fresh features that are sure to excite BMW fans out there. The car has a completely new design with the prominent kidney-shaped grille larger than ever. The 2021 M4 delivers a superb ride with excellent handling and a classy interior. There is everything to look forward to in the new 2021 BWM M4. For car enthusiasts looking for a thrilling ride, the 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S delivers that and more. Although Porsche has made few changes to the 2021 variant, the 2021 Cayman S offers a superb driving experience with a well-decked out cabin. In this article, we compare these two sports cars and deliver the verdict on which is the best. Design & Style Having borrowed some of its cabin style cues from the BMW 4-Series, the 2021 BMW M4 nevertheless has unique racing themes incorporated in the interior. These include a thick-rimmed steering wheel which gives the vehicle a sporty look. Despite its sporty designs, the 2021 M4 still has plenty of space even in the back seat and the use of premium materials ensures that the car does not lose its upscale pedigree. When it comes to the 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S, buyers get an equally stylish interior although, at this price point, many buyers would expect more. A good example is the fact that most surfaces are not covered with leather but with cheap-looking plastic. Porsche is happy to offer leather-covered seats and other options but at a price. This might annoy most buyers, given the fact that the 2021 Cayman S is already one of the pricier models of its category. Technology & Safety For tech and safety, the 2021 M4 comes with plenty of standard features that make the 2021 M4 such a pleasant car to drive. Foremost is the slick 10.2-inch infotainment display that can be controlled via voice as well as a rotary controller that is set in the middle of the dashboard. The 2021 M4 also comes standard with Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto. The 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S also comes with a touchscreen display that controls the infotainment system. The car also comes with a fairly decent audio system although to get premium sound, you need to upgrade to a 12-speaker audio system. Performance Under the hood, the 2021 BMW M4 comes with a turbocharged 3-liter engine that offers an amazing ride. This engine delivers 473 hp, which is remarkable considering that this is in the base model. The ride quality is superb and any road imperfections are kept away from the cabin. The 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S on the other hand is motivated by a 2-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 300 horsepower. This is significantly less than that produced by the 2021 BMW M4. The Bottom Line While the 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S is a superbly designed car, it falls short when it comes to tech features, engine performance and interior styling. When compared to the 2021 BMW M4, the BMW beats the Porsche in almost every way. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW M4 Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW M4 for yourself. Come and visit us today or give us a call at (888) 734-3331 to schedule a test drive.

2022 BMW 6-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 6-Series vs. 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe For buyers who need a large luxury coupe with the ability to offer a gripping ride, the 2021 BMW 6-Series offers that and much more. A large cabin, which is unique for a coupe, ensures that you can carry your family around with ease. The luggage space is also generous making the 2021 6-Series very practical as well. When you need to tear around the race track, you can count on the 2021 6-Series to deliver. The ride quality is superb and the silence inside the cabin is almost surreal. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe is a well-styled car that is sure to turn heads anywhere you go. As a coupe, there is limited functionality when it comes to cabin and luggage space but that should not bother most people who choose a coupe over the larger and more spacious sedan. Still, there are some issues with performance and handling which are surprising for a car of this pedigree. Design & Style BMW has not changed the 2021 edition of the 6-Series much apart from a refreshed grille and front bumpers. The 2021 6-Series is an imposing coupe and its sporty stance enhances its pedigree. As one would expect, the cabin is plush with creature comforts and everything has a premium feel to it. As mentioned earlier, the generous cabin and trunk space allow the 2021 6-Series to function perfectly as an everyday car. While the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe is well designed, cabin space is seriously compromised by the sloping roofline. This limits the functionality of the 2021 E-Class Coupe. The interior is also plush with luxury features and the instrument panel is designed to put all controls within easy reach. Technology & Safety The base model of the 2021 BMW 6-Series comes with a lot of tech and safety features, most of which are options in other models. A crisp-clear audio system from Bang & Olufsen ensures that you will never need to upgrade your vehicle’s audio system. The 2021 6-Series infotainment system comes with BMW’s iDrive software which delivers a delightful infotainment experience. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe also comes with a host of tech features including a ten-inch infotainment display. The car also comes with smartphone integration among many others. Performance Just like its 2020 predecessor, the 2021 BMW 6-Series is offered in two variants namely with a V8 engine and a V6 engine. Both deliver outstanding performance and the 2021 6-Series never feels underpowered even under the most grueling driving conditions. If you happen to drive over a rough surface, you may not even notice it, thanks to the excellent suspension system in the 2021 6-Series. When it comes to the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe, you get an inline-6 engine that replaced the V6 in the base model. There are many other variants including a hybrid that combines a gas-powered engine with an electric motor. The Bottom Line While both cars have a lot to offer drivers, the 2021 6-Series is a better vehicle than the 2021 E-Class Coupe. Handling and ride quality are two areas where the 2021 E-Class Coupe delivers a sub-par performance compared to the 2021 6-Series. Given that this category is all about performance, this weakens the case for the E-Class Coupe and makes the BMW a clear winner. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW 6-Series Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW 6-Series for yourself.

2022 BMW 4-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 4-Series vs. 2021 Cadillac ATS-V With a refreshed front grille and a sporty stance, the 2021 BMW 4-Series stands out on any driveway. The car offers passengers a spacious cabin that is decked out with creature comforts. The 2021 4-Series exudes sophistication while at the same time offering a thrilling ride to any car enthusiast. This ability to combine sophistication and sporty performance is one of the characteristics that distinguish the 2021 4-Series from other cars in its category. The 2021 Cadillac ATS-V is an outstanding vehicle that comes as either a coupe or a sedan. While performance is not anywhere close to the 2021 4-Series, the Cadillac is still an impressive vehicle on the road. Space is an issue, especially in the coupe so drivers looking for an all-rounded car for daily use should opt for the sedan instead. Let us compare the two cars and see how they rank against each other. Design & Style The 2021 4-Series has not undergone significant changes from the previous model. The dashboard and the instrument panels have been slightly refreshed. The look and feel of the cabin remain as premium as ever, with the restrained styling that is typical of BMW vehicles. Plenty of cabin space means that the 2021 4-Series is a practical car that can handle school and shopping runs with ease. With its distinct styling, the 2021 Cadillac ATS-V offers buyers a stylish package that is likely to stand out on any driveway. While many people consider the sharp-edges that dominate its exterior design as conservative, it does give an aura of sophistication that Cadillac enthusiasts love. Technology & Safety With the 2021 BMW 4-Series, you can expect an 8.8-inch display that controls the infotainment system in the car. BMW’s iDrive ensures that the infotainment system is silky-smooth and graphics are clear. For those who want a little more zest from the infotainment system, a superb 10.3-inch touchscreen display is available as an option. Smartphone integration and onboard navigation are all standard in the 2021 4-Series. The 2021 Cadillac ATS-V is equally decked out with an impressive array of tech features including smartphone integration, Wi-Fi hotspot, and much more. The infotainment software is pretty decent although not as responsive as BMW’s iDrive. Performance When it comes to what is under the hood, the 2021 4-Series comes with a standard turbocharged 2-liter engine that delivers an impressive 255hp. This is what makes the 2021 4-Series such a fun car to drive. Acceleration is smooth and the transmission flawless. With a finely-tuned suspension, passengers in the 2021 4-Series are shielded from road imperfections. The 2021 Cadillac ATS-V comes with a 2-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 272hp. Although this engine is theoretically more powerful than that in the 2021 4-Series, performance is not at par and the 2021 ATS-V feels a lot more sluggish than the BMW. This could be as a result of the boxy shape of the 2021 ATS-V or due to its transmission. Whatever the case, the Cadillac offers a far less thrilling ride than the 2021 4-Series. The Bottom Line Even though Cadillac has made a lot of effort to build a sports sedan that rivals German competitors such as the 2021 BMW 4-Series, the 2021 ATS-V is still far from catching up with its rivals. The 2021 4-Series feels and rides like a true sports car. The Cadillac struggles around corners and offers a poor ride quality. This makes the 2021 4-Series the clear winner in this comparison.

2022 BMW 3-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 3-Series vs. 2021 A5 Sportback Fast and responsive the 2021 BMW 3-Series is the ultimate in sporty performance and sophistication. For 2021, BMW has decided to eliminate the manual transmission model but the automatic transmission models still have a lot to offer. With an elegant cabin and refined styling, the 2021 3-Series will stand out anywhere. It can handle day-to-day use with ease while at the same time delivering a thrilling ride when required to. The 2021 Audi A5 Sportback is gorgeous with styling that enhances its sports heritage. It drives well too, although not as well as one would expect from an Audi sports car. Space is also limited, making the 2021 A5 Sportback far less practical than the 3-Series. Let us look at these two vehicles and see how they stack up against each other. Design & Style The 2021 3-Series styling is designed to enhance its sporty features and in this, the designers at BMW succeeded. The car features sleek lines that accentuate its aggressive stance. The 2021 3-Series also has a generous trunk space, easily fitting 6 carry-on luggage cases. With the rear seat folded, one can probably fit twice that number with plenty of space to spare. The cabin is decked with premium materials and the 2021 3-Series has an overall feel of sophisticated luxury. When it comes to the 2021 Audi A5 Sportback, the interior is less plush than that of the 2021 3-Series. This is partly due to the use of less-than-premium materials in the interior. The 2021 A5 Sportback also has significant space problems in the interior. The sloping roofline that gives it its attractive sporty looks also means that the sitting space in the rear is compromised. Technology & Safety When it comes to tech and safety features, the 2021 BMW 3-Series features an 8-inch display that controls the infotainment features. The system runs on BMW’s iDrive software which means that you get excellent graphics as well as seamless operations. Other features in this car include charging ports as well as smartphone integration in all trims. When it comes to the 2021 Audi A5 Sportback, buyers can get a variety of tech features including a 10-inch infotainment display. However, the catch is that most of these good features are only available in higher trims. This means that you have to pay more to get some of the features that are standard in the 2021 3-Series. Performance Under the hood, buyers of the 2021 3-Series can expect to get a 2-liter turbocharged engine in the base model. This is quite sufficient to power the 2021 3-Series and the car accelerates smoothly with no lag. If one is looking for a little more power, they can opt for the 3-liter engine that provides a more powerful and sporty performance. For the fuel-conscious, the 2021 3-Series also comes with a hybrid variant that features an electric motor that is paired with a 2-liter engine. With the 2021 A5 Sportback, the base model comes with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 200 hp. This makes the Sportback a pretty fast car. Audi also offers the 2021 A5 Sportback with a slightly bigger engine that produces 260hp. The difference between the two is however not discernable, especially during everyday use. Handling is a little shaky and the ride comfort is not what you would expect from an Audi. The Bottom Line While the two cars are very close in most parameters, the BMW has a clear edge over the Audi. The 2021 3-Series has a better ride quality, better interior, and is far more practical than the 2021 A5 Sportback. This makes the BMW the clear winner in this comparison.
