Its handling and suspension though have been found wanting, time and again. Design & Style The 2020 BMW X6 has a well-designed exterior that can’t help drawing attention to itself on the road. It features a sloping roofline and a subtle rear end that add to its style and sporty look. On the inside, this style is continued with premium materials and advanced tech.

The 2020 Dodge Challenger has a pretty cabin that is made up of premium materials. This Dodge offers more generous legroom, headspace and cargo space than most of its competitors. However, it lacks the interior panache the 2020 BMW X6 offers. Technology & Safety You will find the most recent version of the iDrive infotainment system in the 2020 BMW X6. It comes with two 12.3-inch displays for information and entertainment. Navigation is standard on the X6 while available features include 4-zone automatic climate control, Wi-Fi connectivity and wireless charging.

Just like its cousin (the X5), the 2020 BMW X6 is a powerhouse for comfort and athleticism. The 2020 Dodge Challenger runs on a V-6 that yields 305 horsepower. This engine inks up with an eight-speed automatic. However it lacks acceleration and thrill brought about by its rivals.

The only downside to this is that the steering wheel is too numb and the car is rather soft in the twisties. The Bottom Line The 2020 BMW X6 is a beast on the road and impresses in many ways. From the powerful engine, to its classy cabin that is made up of premium materials and further on to high-end tech and the great iDrive infotainment system.

On the brighter side, the cargo space it offers is more than its rivals offer. Available luxury features include power-adjustable seats with the massage function and a camera that detects potholes. Technology & Safety You will find the iDrive infotainment system on the 2020 BMW. It features a big display that is well positioned on the driver’s sightlines.

Forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, automated emergency braking and lane keep assist are all standard on the Aviator. Available safety features include lane centering assist, automated paring assistance and adaptive cruise control. Performance The 2020 BMW M5 runs on an impressive twin-turbo 4.4 liter designed to yield 600 horsepower and 553 pounds per foot of torque. This means quick and smooth acceleration. This is likely to raise eye brows on safety as is often the case where speed is mentioned. The M5 has you covered with one of the most reliable braking systems. Keep in mind too that the M5 comes along with an automated emergency braking system as well as forward collision warning. It is also worth noting that the M5 clinches 15mpg in city driving and 21mpg on the highway. The 2019 Lincoln Aviator’s base engine is a twin-turbo V-6 that yields 400 horsepower. It is paired with a 10 speed-automatic transmission to deliver swift acceleration. The V-6 engine may also be paired with a 100-hp electric motor in the hybrid model. These offer a combined horsepower of 494. However, the electric motor delivers slow acceleration. There are also noticeable thuds occasionally, when the gas engine is reengaged. The Aviator gets 24mpg on the highway. The Bottom Line The 2020 BMW M5 is truly a work of art. It is mighty quick with a powerful engine and smooth handling. It is also stylish and features plenty of advanced tech as well as safety features. That coupled with a superior infotainment system and high fuel efficiency ratings make it a masterpiece.

Many elements that are designed to improve the car’s interior comfort and ambience are optional.

This is not the case at all with 2019 BMW 5 Series where everything is within reach. Technology & Safety Expect a sizeable 10.2 inch high resolution central display which is standard on all 5 series models.

2020 BMW M5 vs. 2020 Audi RS6
2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW M5 vs. 2020 Audi RS6 The 2020 BMW M5 has introduced the new four-wheel drive system – a first for the M5. With better traction on roads and insane acceleration timings, the M5 is a force to be reckon with. On the other hand, the 2020 Audi RS6 is an excellent family car with fantastic performance. Here is a comparison between both cars. Design & Style There are very few differences between the Interiors of the 2020 BMW M5 and that of the standard 5-series, which isn’t a bad thing at all! With bolstered sport seats, cushioned armrest and edges trimmed in premium leather, the M5 is a very comfortable and luxurious car. With the wide range of steering wheel and seat adjustments, it is easy to get comfortable in the M5. The cabin comes with carbonfibre trimmings and leather seats as standard in the 2020 Audi RS6. With bolstered seats and seat adjustments, it is easy to feel comfortable in the RS6, especially for long rides. The overall dark-grey ambience of the cabin can be rather dull for some, but this is compensated by the attention to detail that Audi has put into designing the cabin. Technology & Safety There is a lot to look forward to when it comes to the iDrive infotainment system in the 2020 BMW M5. The infotainment system offers many applications and is loaded with tons of high-tech features. Some exciting ones include BMW personal assistant and gesture controls. It is certainly one of the best in the market and is easier to use. Besides the standard safety features, the M5 has electronic stability control, BMW Assist and blind spot detectors in place. The 2020 Audi RS6 gets an 8.0-inch crisp screen that displays Audi’s intuitive MMI infotainment system. Offering services such as Apple Carplay, satellite navigation and audio streaming, the MMI system is still one of the better ones out in the market. However, it still lags slightly behind class-leading BMW’s iDrive system. In addition to the standard safety features, the RS6 has electronic stabilization control, pedestrian detection and engine immobilizer with crash sensor. Performance The base eight-cylinder 4.4-liter turbocharged engine in the 2020 BMW M5 can produce up to a mighty 600-horsepower. As compared to the 2020 Audi RS6, the eight-cylinder 4.0-litres turbocharged engine of the RS6 can produce up to 590-horsepower. Both cars offer the four-wheel drive system, which provides better road traction and faster acceleration. The Bottom Line The 2020 Audi RS6 is beloved for providing an excellent performing engine in the form of a family car. From this comparison, however, it is obvious that the RS6 pales in comparison to the 2019 BMW M5 for a multitude of reasons – better engine, design and infotainment system. The 2019 BMW M5 is just that much better! Ready to Schedule a 2020 BMW M5 Test Drive Today?

2020 BMW M5 vs. 2019 Porsche Cayenne
2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW M5 vs. 2019 Porsche Cayenne With a twin turbo v-8 engine capable of unleashing 600 plus horsepower, it is hard to deny the fact that the new 2020 BMB M5 is an unstoppable force on the road. It accelerates fast, with unbridled ferocity – something you’ll fall in love with if you are a speed junkie. The icing on the cake is of course, its design which will leave you in awe. Then there is of course, the fact that the 2020 BMW M5 is loaded with high tech gadgetry to make your driving experience something you’ll always look forward to. Then there is the 2019 Porsche Cayenne, which comes really close but does not really match what 2020 BMW M5 has to offer. Design & Style There’s something about the new 2020 BMW M5’s elegant interior that will easily grab your attention. The interior is both supple and elegant with supportive seats to ensure you can drive all day long in sheer comfort. The interior goes a step further to ensure the driver’s seating position is elegantly and accurately optimized for performance style driving. The icing here is a slew of desirable features like customizable ambient interior lighting, heated seats, horsepower adjustable steering column and a heated steering wheel. Porsche offers what many describe as a blank canvass as far as design and style are concerned. The driver faces a somewhat snazzy gauge cluster complete with an analog tachometer that is flanked by a 7 inch screen display. But that’s all there is into 2019 Porsche Cayenne’s design and style. It is in simple words, basic. This is the first place it loses the medal to 2020 BMW M5. Technology & Safety Think of M5’s technology and safety features as something you have only seen in a science fiction movie. It almost feels surreal with perks like the famous BMW iDrive software atop the dashboard. The software is controlled an accessible rotary knob on the center console. You also get to enjoy a 600 watt Harman Kardon audio system and a one of a kind wireless device capable of charging all 2020 models. For those who are into fancier features, there is an optional rear seat entertainment system complete with a 16 speaker and 1400-watt Bowers and Wilkins Sound System. 2019 Porsche Cayenne does not have much to offer here. This does not mean though that it is a lesser model. It simply does not match what M5 has to offer.For starters, it lacks Porsche’s version of the iDrive software that many modern BMW models have to offer. It also lack auto android. The only major highlight here is 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot. Performance The M5 is not your ordinary sedan. It is big. It is fast. It is strong. That’s what you should expect anyway when it comes to a model that churns 600 plus horsepower from a twin turbo V8 engine. It can easily bot up to 60 mpg in less than 5 seconds. That is simply mind-blowing for a luxury SUV. Again, this is where the 2019 Porsche Cayenne losses the medal to M5. Apart from selectable drive modes and easy acceleration, Porsche Cayenne does not have much to offer in terms of performance. It is worth noting though it is somewhat fuel efficient. The Bottom Line Think of the new 2020 BMW M5 as your dream car. It delivers exactly what it promises or as many BMW enthusiasts like to say, with the M5, what you see is what you get. It boasts of key safety features that any speedy SUV should have. In short, it is an all balanced model. Ready to Schedule a 2020 BMW 5 -Series Test Drive Today?

Then there is the 2020 Tesla Roadster which is allegedly the M5’s main competitor. It is a good car but one does not need to go far especially in terms of performance to see why it easily losses out to the M5. Design & Style It is a beast. It is a machine, yes. You cannot take away though the fact that it is a one of a kind machine and beast with a fine touch of comfort, class and elegance. An optimized driving sitting position, customizable ambient interior lighting, a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats are just some of the extras the M5 has to offer. Its interior storage is also something else – the trunk can easily hold up to six carry on suitcases. It is sizeable to say the least. Not much has been written about its design and style though. You can’t help but notice though that it yet another sporty car aiming at buyers with luxury in mind. It does not inspire much especially for buyers who are keen on space. Technology & Safety You know you’re driving a good car when the manufacturer makes deliberate efforts to guarantee your safety. That’s exactly what BMW did with the M5 series. It features innovative technological features like lane departure warning, lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. The car simply makes you feel safe even if you’re just starting out on driving. It even gets better with other safety features like forward collision warning and automated emergency braking. It is worth noting that the 2020 Tesla Roadster is still a concept. Much of what is available is not something experts can write about with certainty and precision. To that end, the M5 clearly holds a candle to Tesla’s 2020 Roadster. Performance Put the 4.4 liter v8 twin turbo engine with 600 horsepower coupled with 553 lb-ft horsepower on hold for a second. The 2020 MS is more than that. The car is super-fast. It can launch to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. It is quicker than all the other previous M5 models. Remember you get to choose different driving modes. There is for instance, the comfort mode which is strange for the model but as strange as it sounds it is a quiet yet powerful driving mode. It guarantees placid cruising in a whisper quiet cabin! The Bottom Line Much has been said and written about the 2020 M5 series. One thing’s for sure though. It always delivers. It has the speed, it boasts of a performance you will without a doubt love and most importantly, it incorporates reliable safety features. You will find it hard, if not impossible to resist.

The 2019 Audi TT RS is a fan-favorite when it comes to buying coupé sports cars, boasting excellent engines and a great interior. Here is a comparison between both cars. Design & Style The 2019 BMW M2 is a stunning coupé that can fit up to 4 passengers comfortably. The M2 proves that you don’t have to sacrifice practicality while designing a great-looking coupé. The 390-litre boot provides large amount of space for your items and there is plenty of legroom for your passengers to be comfortable, which is unlike most coupé sports cars. Trimmed with leather upholstery and equipped with seat and steering wheel adjustments, it is easy to feel comfortable on the M2. Audi has a reputation of producing excellent interiors for their cars and the 2019 Audi TT RS is no exception. It’s the small details in the design, such as the stylishly designed controls, that makes the TT RS stand out from the rest. Trimmed in chrome accents, soft plastics and nappa leather, the TT RS is a really luxurious car. Our only qualm about its design is that the seating position of the driver seat isn’t ideal for a sports car. The pedals can feel rather close to the driver and the seat is set relatively too high to recreate the sports car feel. Technology & Safety There is a lot of features to look forward to when it comes to the 2019 BMW M2. The M2 is gifted with BMW’s excellent iDrive infotainment system. The system is loaded with tons of features such as BMW personal assistant, Apple Carplay and Spotify. The rotary dials and touchscreen has made it easy to use, even when on the move.

Performance The base six-cylinder, 3.0-liter turbocharged engine in the 2019 BMW M2 can produce up to an excellent 410-horsepower. As compared to the 2019 Audi RS3, the five cylinder 2.5-litres turbocharged engine of the TT RS can produce up to 395-horsepower. Despite being quicker than most of its competition, the steering of the 2019 Audi TT RS isn’t as responsive. The Bottom Line With its excellent interior design and fantastic engine, the 2019 Audi TT RS has been beloved by many. From this comparison, however, it is obvious that the TT RS pales in comparison to the 2019 BMW M2 for a multitude of reasons – better designed seating arrangement and better infotainment system.
