The 2019 BMW 7-Series is no exception and is indeed a fantastic car to drive. On the other hand, the 2019 Mercedes Benz S-class is also one of the best luxury cars that Mercedes Benz has to offer. Here is a comparison between both cars. Design & Style The 2019 BMW 5-Series has BMW’s signature driver-focused dashboard, providing comfortable reach to the controls. The controls use physical buttons and has a nice, tactile feel to them. With electric seat and steering wheel adjustments as standard features in the 7-Series, it is easy to get comfortable. There is also the option to get ventilation, massage and heating functions for the seats – providing a truly luxurious ride in the 7-Series. The interior is also trimmed with upmarket material, giving the car an absolutely luxurious look. The fit and finish in the 2019 Mercedes Benz S-class is done up well with the use of upmarket materials along all surfaces in the car. There is a modern feel to the interior with the panoramic display of the infotainment system and ambient lighting in the car. The dashboard is designed well and provides comfortable reach to the controls. Lumbar adjustments, electric seat and steering wheel adjustments ensures a comfortable ride in the S-class. Technology & Safety BMW’s excellent infotainment system is shown on a 10.2-inch display and can be controlled using gesture controls, the conventional rotary dial or using the touch-sensitive screen. There’s an intelligent Personal Assistant installed as well. This can be used to do simple tasks and change certain controls within the car.

All versions of the S-class come with two crisp 12.3-inch display in the center of the dashboard and in front of the steering wheel. The dual screen makes getting information from either screen easy for the driver. While the infotainment system in the S-class is responsive and offers a wide range of services, it still pales in comparison to BMW’s excellent iDrive interface. Attention Assist System, Collision Prevention Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist are some of the additional safety features in place. Performance For a better comparison, we will compare the base versions of both models. With a standard six-cylinder, 2.9-litre engine, the 2019 Mercedes Benz S-class reaches a maximum output of 286 horsepower. The 2019 BMW 7-Series has a 6-cylinder, 3.0-litre turbocharged engine that produces a maximum output of 261 horsepower.

The Bottom Line The 2019 Mercedes Benz S-class is an excellent car and offers many new features and design improvements from its predecessors. However, the car pales in comparison to the 2019 BMW 7-Series in many categories – more fuel-efficient, better infotainment system and better design. The 2019 BMW 7-Series is just that much better.

2022 BMW 2-Series Get Pre-Approved 2019 BMW 2-Series vs. 2019 Mercedes Benz B-class The 2019 BMW 2-Series is the classic coupe which has been reimagined for the modern era. This fun and stylish alternative to hatchback and compact saloons is a real fun car to drive with its BMW TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the 2019 Mercedes Benz B-class is a 5-seater compact MPV that offers a lot more space than their A-class sibling, yet provides the same great interior that the A-class offers.

The interior of the 2019 Mercedes Benz B-class doesn’t disappoint as well. The layout of the dashboard is practical and makes using it easy. The use of tactile, premium, black plastic and metal touches in common places gives the interior a luxurious feel. The seats are spacious enough and provides sufficient leg-room. However, our only criticism is that its interior doesn’t feel quite as well-built as compared to the 2-Series.

2022 BMW X7 Get Pre-Approved 2019 BMW X7 vs. 2019 Toyota Fortuner There aren’t many adjectives that aptly capture what the 2019 BMW X7 is all about. Magnificent, elegant and classy all come close enough though. With an award-winning exterior design and an interior that is spiced up with mind-blowing innovating features, it is hard to resist what BMW X7 has to offer. From an impressive engine torque and speed all the way to safety and aesthetics, BMW X7 simply has it all. The Toyota Fortuner tries to catch up but like you may have already figured out, BMW X7 easily bags the medal on a side by side comparison of the two models. Design & Style The X7 has an attractive and bright satin exterior, especially after the front wheels. The interior as well is top-notch quality and fitted with features designed to give you a unique driving experience. The start-stop button is strategically located for easy access. The same can be said of the Swarovski crystal shifter, iDrive controller and the stereo volume knob. The 2019 Toyota Fortuner aims at appealing more to those people who prefer curves and sweeping lines making it a bit less attractive than the BMW X7. Its controls are designed logically as well although some buttons are small and there is no volume knob. Technology & Safety The BMW X7 boasts of the 7th generation iDrive infotainment system equipped with large and sharp screens, graphics that are appealing as well as a variety of input options. In addition to the 12.3-inch screens for infotainment needs and the one for gauges and driving information, the BMW X7 also has a big and multicolored head-up display with quality graphics. It also provides for wireless charging as well as Apple CarPlay. Wi-Fi connectivity is also available but is subject to an annual subscription. On matters safety, the X7 is fitted with top-line exterior lights that have adaptive LED headlights and fog lights in front. It also has progressive brake lights at the back. It not only comes with a great rearview camera that offers 3D and 360-degree view but also has improved outward visibility. The 2019 Toyota Fortuner, on the other hand, comes with a smaller screen that is 7.0 inches. It also only connects via Bluetooth at standstill. There is also no provision for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The 2019 Toyota Fortuner also has no fog lights and its headlights are halogen units. Performance The X7 is fitted with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine. That explains why it almost effortlessly produces an amazing horsepower of 445 and 479lb-ft of torque. It is simply a beast on whichever terrain you drive it on. The 2019 Toyota Fortuner is powered by the 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel. It produces 130kW, 174 horsepower and 450Nm. This is not even close to what the BMW X7 has to offer. The Bottom Line The 2019 Toyota Fortuner is a great car but it is clearly no match for the BMW X7. The BMW X7 is superior in terms of its elegant exterior as well as the high tech equipped interior. It also boasts of higher performance than its counterpart as a result of its superior engine.

2022 BMW X4 Get Pre-Approved 2019 BMW X4 vs. 2019 Mercedes GLC Coupe The BMW X4 runs on a spirited powerful engine that really knows how to impress. The interior is amazing and made up of premium quality materials. The 2019 Mercedes GLC Coupe is a high riding SUV, that combines a lofty driving position with a fastback styled rump. It has an impressive engine as well but it doesn’t have the option of the manual transmission. Design & Style The BMW X4 is more stylish than a sedan and boasts a sporty design with a roofline that looks like a coupe. Its cabin is premium, very modern and neat. There is careful attention to detail ad materials used are top quality. The center stack is appealing and it sits below a rakish floating touchscreen. There is plenty of legroom as well as cargo space available in the X4. It offers 19 cubic feet of cargo capacity which can be increased to 51 cubic feet when you lower the rear seats. The Mercedes GLC Coupe puts comfort over agility and that is not a crime. It enables the driver to get a decent driving position and good forward visibility. However, the pedals are slightly offset to the right. Its dashboard is great with metal and wood used but it is not screwed together as well as the BMW X4. Legroom is similar to that offered in the BMW X4 but there is less headroom due to its reclining rear. The reclining rear also makes it difficult to load tall items in the boot. Technology & Safety The base X4 is fitted with the iDrive infotainment system that features a HD Radio and a 12-speaker sound system. Apple CarPlay is also available along with an integrated navigation system and a 10.3-inch display screen.

Performance The BMW X4 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This engine yields a horsepower of 248 and 258lb-ft of torque. The X4 is a beast on the road and it can accelerate from zero to 60mph in just 6 seconds. Options are also available in a 3.0-liter six-cylinder with a horsepower of 382 and 365lb-ft of torque. This is even more interesting as it gets from zero to 60mph in an impressive 4 seconds. The four-cylinder engine gets a fuel efficiency rating of 23mpg in the city and 28mpg on the highway. The Mercedes GLC Coupe gets its motivation from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that generates a horsepower of 241 and 273lb-ft of torque.

It gets a fuel efficiency rating of 21mpg in city driving and 27mpg in highway driving. The Bottom Line The Mercedes GLC Coupe is impressive in terms of its stylish looks as well as the interior design. It is clear enough though that the BMW X4 is better in so many aspects. First of all there is a user-friendly infotainment system. The engine performance of the X4 is remarkable and it is more fuel-efficient as well. Ready to Schedule a 2019 BMW X4 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW X3 Get Pre-Approved 2019 BMW X3 vs. 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan BMW is known the world over for class, speed, comfort, style and of course, power. BMW X3 fully lives up to this hype. It is in fact, much better than what one expects from a BMW. Right from its design to other key factors such as transmission and speed, the BMW X3 is by all means a masterpiece. Volkswagen Tiguan 2019 on the other hand may seem somewhat reliable. When it comes to fuel economy though, BMW X3 stands out. Design & Style From the onset, BMW X3 and 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan seem close in design-wise. But like already hinted, it won’t take you long before realizing how and why exactly BMW X3 bags the medal in this two-horse race. Since they are both from the SUV family and make use of similar 5-door body layout and operate on a 4 x 4WD system, the difference lies in their diesel engines. While x3 incorporates a power-packed four-cylinder, sixteen-valves 177 horsepower engine developed by BMW, the VW consists of a four-cylinder, sixteen-valves 170 horsepower unit engine developed by Volkswagen. BMW X3’s sleep look makes it noticeable from a mile. The same cannot be said about 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan although one must admit they really tried. The design may not be as impressive as BMW X3’s but it is good. Its interior though is in many ways average pretty much the same way its passenger space is. Technology & Safety BMW always goes big on technology and safety. The 2019 BMW X3 lives up to the brand’s reputation in that regard with a full suite of driver assistance features like automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and forward-collision warning. Again, this is where BMW X3 beats 2019 VW Tiguan which only goes as far as automated emergency brake assistance. Performance In terms of speed, BMW X3 is unmatchable. It covers 206km in just an hour. This is far much superior to what 2019 VW Tiguan has to offer by as much as 5km. Strangely, for the same distance, the two models burn almost the same amount of fuel on average. Analyze keenly though and you’ll quickly realize BMW X3 still has so much to offer in terms of fuel efficiency. Bottom line BMW X3 is agile, with strong power output. This is exactly where it beats nearly all VW models hands down, including the 2019 VW Tiguan. Its 248 hp turbocharged engine makes all the difference. It is more than perfect for those in need of a performance-oriented crossover. Of course, VW Tiguan comes close but not close enough. It does not offer the exhilarating experience BMW X3 offers. Who wouldn’t love a BMW with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine? One that has consistently out -accelerated VW Tiguan 2019, the Audi Q5 and even the Porsche Macan S? Ready to Schedule a 2019 BMW X3 Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2019 BMW X3 for yourself.

2022 BMW X2 Get Pre-Approved 2019 BMW X2 vs. 2019 Nissan Qashqai In order to remain relevant in the automotive industry, BMW is not prepared to throw in the towel yet. It is instead taking advantage of the little available space to exploit the latest niches. In simple terms, the new X2 is an improved version of X1 that comes with a lesser roof and enhanced sporty layout. The idea here is that BMW is trying hard to ensure that it upholds its top spot in the industry. With other SUV models determined to catch up with BMW, the company is doing everything to see to it that it stays afloat. Let’s now consider a few things that would make BMW X2 your most preferred sporty model to the 2019 Nissan Qashqai. Design & Style Looking at the X2 exterior styling, you will find that it is much more unique than its predecessors. The body design provides some kind of reasonableness, save for the small size of the boot. The key factor about this styling is that with the elevated door lines as well as constricted glass height, minors sitting at the back seats may find it hard to have a view of the outside surroundings. The dashboard, on its part, has witnessed a great boost up-market in relation to design and quality compared to its competitors. While Nissan Qashqai comes with an economical diesel engine, making it look cheaper to operate, X2 is in a class of its own and doesn’t seem to relent when put to test. Technology & safety Yet, among the features that make BMW X2 beat its competitors is the unmatched driving position it offers. As it were, X2 is almost the better option for many drivers. It comes with a higher driving position than the rest in the automobile industry. When it comes to balancing between economy and performance, X2 boasts of the newest 2-litre diesel unit, making it a better engine. With an automatic gearbox, you can bet that X2 will beat the rest as you easily and smoothly adjust your gears. Although, Nissan Qashqai comes with a double-diesel engine that allows for equally a comfy suspension as well as smooth handling, there is no way it is going to outwit the X2. BMW X2 has an added advantage considering the incorporated auto-gearbox. Performance Overall, X2 ensures a wonderful driving experience – just what you should look ahead to in a BMW. It is completely refined. While the entire machine may feel tight, it is relatively heavy with the steering tending to feel a bit weightier than others in the group. This allows for stable driving once you get used to it. The basic drive feels comfy and handling is perfect as well. The iDrive system delivers an excellent grip as well. When compared to 2019 Nissan Qashqai, there no doubt that the former enjoys the top spot. Bottom line If you are one of those who prefer riding in a lower roofline, then X2 is your perfect choice. This unique styling makes it even more aerodynamic and efficient; hence, allowing for enhanced handling. Rather than going for the distinctive body layout as is the case with Nissan Qashqai, you would rather take advantage of the fairly normal BMW X2. Ready to Schedule a 2019 BMW X2 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW X1 Get Pre-Approved 2019 BMW X1 vs. 2019 Honda CR-V The 2019 BMW X1 is nimble, fast, well-built extremely spacious and undoubtedly upscale. It, therefore, does not come as a surprise that it is an award-winning model. It could be because of its irresistibly four-cylinder engine which is of course, turbocharged. It could also because of its exterior design or its comfort. Whatever it is, 2019 BMW X1 will win your heart without struggling. See it once and you know for sure you must have it. The 2019 Honda CR-V, on the other hand, appears to try hard to impress. It convinces you to notice it and you actually do notice it. With an exterior design that leaves little to be desired, noticing it is not so hard after all. Either way, it gives the BMW a good run for its money with quite a number of features. Design & Style It’s the finer details that count when it comes to award-winning automotive design. In that regard, the 2019 BMW X1 fits the bill. It boasts of a monochromatic look and feel of the all-time popular M Sport package, a sport-tuned suspension and comfortably designed sports seats. Other notable features include a sporty M branded steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, roof rails and a blacked-out window trim. 2019 Honda CR-V is not that bad as far as design is concerned. But the design must go hand in hand with comfort. That is where 2019 Honda CR-V losses it. Its aesthetic appeal is notable. Its comfort on the other hand, is not guaranteed both for the driver and the passenger. Technology & Safety BMW made several features standard across their X1 family. But even then, 2019 BMW X1 still stands out with unique yet innovative safety features. You’ll find its forward collision warning handy especially driving through a busy city highway. The model also comes along with lane departure warning, automatic high beam headlamps, parking sensors and navigation complete with real-time traffic updates. 2019 Honda CR-V is a decent cross over. But how is one expected to put up with slow infotainment responses as well as the absence of auxiliary input? You may also not like 2019 Honda CR-V’s rotary volume knob. Performance It is hard not to fall in love with a silky 228 hp turbocharged engine. That is what the 2019 BMW X1 engine is all about. It is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that found a perfect match in an eight-speed automatic transmission to give you a unique driving experience. Keep in mind the model is an all-wheel-drive so you actually have a beast on the road demanding respect. 2019 CR-V has been touted by many for its fuel economy. When it comes to performance though, the BMW X1 series beats it hands down solely because of 2019 Honda CR-V’s poor acceleration and a four-cylinder engine which is annoyingly less responsive. You have to give it to Honda though for coming up with their first-ever turbocharged engine in 2019 Honda CR-V. Bottom line Think of the BMW X1 as a blend between a sports car and an SUV. It leans more towards the sporty side though. Its ride is easy which gets even better with an electrically assisted power steering. Driving it is simply a joy. The same cannot be said of 2019 Honda CR-V. It offers a seamless driving experience, yes, but driving it feels like driving any other car. Ready to Schedule a 2019 BMW X1 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW 2-Series Get Pre-Approved 2019 BMW 2 Series vs. 2019 Audi A5 Cabriolet Excellence on wheels. That’s without a doubt the easiest way to describe the BMW 2 Series. Drive it once and you’ll certainly want to drive it over and over. It has everything on point right from speed and performance all the way to comfort and aesthetics. It is simply a marvel. It does not disappoint. It is in fact, safe to conclude that the BMW 2 series guarantees value for money. Audi A5 Cabriolet which is touted as BMW 2’s closest competitor leaves much to be desired in terms of performance, style and even comfort. Design & Style 17-inch wheels, automatic wipers, stunning LED lights and a body that will leave you in awe. These are just but some of the highlights you will first notice looking at the BMW 2 Series. That’s not all though. You’ll quickly notice that when it comes to the 2019 BMW 2 Series, two models – the 335-hp M20i and the 248-hp230i span the distance from the neatly track ready to the slightly sportier than average. They are both mind-blowing powertrains available as convertibles and all-wheel drives. The interior fits four so you have a perfect chariot for your daily commute. Audi A5 Cabriolet’s greatest undoing is without a doubt its undersize rear seat. Its trunk is also all not that impressive compared to what the 2019 BMW 2 series has to offer. The former is spacious and special. It also features 18-inch performance summer tires complete with a carbon fiber trunk lid spoiler. Stainless steel pedal caps with ventilated interior seats also feature prominently amongst notable perks that come along with the 2019 Audi A5 Cabriolet. Technology & Safety Advanced Real-Time Traffic Information, Smartphone Integration, a navigation system displayed on a 6.5-inch screen and a one of a kind iDrive infotainment system described by many as revolutionary. These are just but some of the perks that come along with the 2019 BMW Series as far as technology is concerned. There is more of course, with features like USB ports and parking assistance as notable mentions. A satellite radio, a 10 speaker audio system, and USB ports are all key technological features that the Audi A5 Cabriolet comes along with. It also features a reliable infotainment system that is user friendly. Note though that when it comes to audio systems, 2019 BMW Series 2 easily takes the medal. Note too that additional technological features in nearly all 2019 Audi models come at a price. Performance You do not come across engines that reach a maximum output of 248 horsepower every day. So when you come across it in a 2019 BMW 2 series, you know for sure you have something special. The four-cylinder turbocharged engine roars to life with ease. It is a four-cylinder, 2.0 engine so you can be sure it not just powerful it is strong. The icing on the case is the engine’s 259lb-ft torque. With all these features and more, the engine reaches 24mpg/35mpg for highway/city driving without struggling. Audi A5 Cabriolet on the other hand only boasts of 23mpg/34mpg for city/highway driving. The Bottom Line You’ll love the kind of fuel efficiency that comes along with the 2019 BMW 2 Series. This is somewhat strange given how strong the engine is. It all boils down to the innovative and revolutionary exploits BMW has put in place. The 2019 Audi A5 Cabriolet efficiency, engine torque, and even overall performance certainly do not have a thing on what 2019 BMW 2 Series is all about.

2019 BMW X1 vs 2020 Volvo XC40 One of the welcome additions in the 2019 BMW X1 is the touchpad interface for its infotainment system. It also boasts of a standard Apple CarPlay, voice control, and navigation system. In the case of the 2020 Volvo XC40, it has already omitted the power-folding rear seats which it launched in the 2019 version. Leather upholstery is no longer standard for this ride as well. Design & Style The 2019 BMW X1 is praised for holding plenty of cargo space and providing more room for five adults. Outside it, you will notice how sporty its 18-inch wheels are and how foglights, and automatic wipers highlight its modernity. It has also been blessed to include underfloor that can add up more room for storage. The 2020 Volvo XC40 did not take much updates to improve how its previous version looks. It remains roomy to accommodate up to five people. It has a nice interior, but not as upscale as its rivals, the BMW X1 included. Technology & Safety There are plenty of technology features in the 2019 BMW X1. This car has Apple CarPlay integration too. It has a hefty list of standard safety features, including a rearview camera, forward collision warning, city collision mitigation, adaptive cruise, automatic high beams, and lane departure warning, among others. The XC40, on the other hand, stuck to its usual nine-inch touchscreen for its Sensus Connect infotainment system. It takes some time getting used to the setup as functionalities are all integrated in the display. Traffic sign recognition, road departure mitigation, and oncoming collision mitigation, are also standard, together with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and a rearview camera. Performance The 2019 BMW X1 has a turbocharged, four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine that can reach up to 228 horsepower. The turbocharged, four-cylinder engine in the 2020 Volvo XC40, however, reaches only up to 187 horsepower. Both cars reach a fuel efficiency rating of 23mpg for city driving, and highway driving results for the BMW is 32mpg, and 33mpg for the XC40. The Bottom Line A newer car like the 2020 Volvo XC40 is expected to provide a lot of great things that surpass expectations of car buyers. However, it is dismaying to point out that apart from providing a long list of safety features, it fails to impress in terms of its other technologies. This gives the BMW X1 an edge for combining great looks with remarkable functionalities. Not to forget that it also performs very well in terms of engine operations. This said. The BMW X1 wins this battle. Ready to Schedule a 2019 BMW X1 Test Drive Today?
