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.

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?

2022 BMW X2 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW X2 vs. 2021 Chrysler 300 BMW X2 is characterized by an upscale interior and powerful engine options, while Chrysler 300 finds itself in the bottom half of the rankings, because of having bumpy rides and poor safety scores. Let us compare these models in details. Design & Style The 2021 Chrysler 300 is a 5-seater car with plenty of space for adult passengers, but the thick roof pillars interfere with the visibility. Cloth upholstery and power-adjustable driver seats come standard. Optional seating amenities include ventilated front seat, power-adjustable steering wheel, heated seats and Nappa leather upholstery. The interior has started to look outdated now. On the other hand, BMW X2 is a spacious car with ample headroom and legroom on offer, and it comes standard with synthetic leather upholstery and 8-way power adjustable seats. The interior looks great with high-quality materials and plenty of soft-touch surfaces. Technology & Safety Chrysler 300 comes with a standard Uconnect infotainment system, along with 8.4-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, six speakers, voice recognition, HD radio, satellite radio, USB ports, Bluetooth and speakers. The touch screen can be slow to inputs, but the menus are logically arranged. You don’t get any advanced safety feature in the base model, except the rearview camera.

Performance Performance is an important part to consider when you are looking to buy a car. Speaking of which, the 2021 Chrysler 300 comes with a V6 powertrain that can put out 292 HP, but it is not strong enough to hit the highways at top speeds.

Both are equipped with a turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine, and it does well to move the car in most situations. The Bottom Line The 2020 BMW X2 is a pretty fine choice for luxury car buyers.

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW M5 vs. 2021 Chevy Silverado Affordability is almost always offset by frugality, but the new 2020 BMW M5 transcends that old association with its utterly high end qualities and an a price tag you’ll most likely find friendly. With enormous proportions, a neat interior and a strong engine, the bold looking M5 is by far one of BMW’s most notable models. 2021 Chevy Silverado promises excellent stout towing capacities as well as impressive powertrain choices. It does not live up to its words though. It comes close to the M5 on just a number of aspects such as design and style but falls off the radar in nearly everything else. Design & Style Get inside the 2020 BMW M5 and the first thing you notice is a detailed and intricately put interior. Leather seats that are both supple and supportive exude sheer craftsmanship. The seats blend well with an upscale, all leather dash. It does not end there. Other features worth mentioning include customizable ambient interior lighting, heated front seats, power adjustable steering column and ventilated front seats with massage functions. 2021 Chevy Silverado boasts of a wide spectrum of interior configurations, some of which are distractive, confusing and averagely user friendly. Its mountainous dashboard exudes elegance but then again, it is packed with distractive extras. The most notable perk here has got to be the Chevy’s passenger space. Technology & Safety A large M5 infotainment display greets you once inside the beast. The display is sits on the dash on the right hand side of the driver. You can easily control it using a rotary knob on the center console. Apple CarPlay integration, Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless charging device are all guaranteed.

You can also opt for an option rear seat entertainment system which comes along with a 16 speaker, 1400 watt Bowers and Wilkins Sound System. Safety features include pedestrian detection, automated emergency brakes, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and forward collision warning. 2021 Chevy Silverado tries to match the M5s tech features just like its 2020 predecessor. It comes close but doesn’t knock it off the perch. Wireless charging, wi-fi and Bluetooth are all guaranteed. The Chevy also comes along with driver assistance tech features such as driver selectable engine braking and forward collision warning.

You also get a plug in hybrid 530e which operates at peak capacity. The combined output of gasoline and electric motor provides a powerful torque as well as improved efficiency as you glide through the 8 speed automatic transmission system. The end result is a lightning fast machine capable of clinching the 60mph mark in less than 3 seconds. Bottom Line 2020 BMW M5 makes it easy to craft your drive within seconds with the push of a button. You get to shift between different drive modes to enjoy throttle responsiveness as well as shift points. Its integral Active Steering gets the rear wheels in on the turning action for easy maneuverability and better handling. You need not mention the engine which is beastly strong. The perks complete with the 8 speed automatic transmission system, get even better with the fact that the M5 is a fuel efficient machine. Ready to Schedule a 2020 BMW M5 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW X6 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW X6 vs. 2020 Mercedes GLE Coupe If you are considering purchasing the finest car for your family, chances are that you have, at one point or another, thought of a 2020 BMW X6 or a 2020 Mercedes GLE Coupe. While these two models command a lot of respect within the opulence family, they offer extremely different levels of luxury and performance. Design & Style As compared to GLE, X6 is way far ahead in terms of passenger space. Its front head and shoulder spaces are one and two inches bigger than that of the GLE respectively. You definitely want to purchase a model that will offer both you and your family the comfort they require. When it comes to loading and offloading your cargo, you can count on the lift-gate available on the X6 to ease things up for you. Using your feet rather than your hands, you can easily open and close the lift-gate. This alone adds value to the BMW team. As important as the lift-gate is, Mercedes is to blame for not including it on this luxurious car brand. As such, you will be forced to place your grocery down in the event that your hands are engaged. So, what does this mean? – X6 is definitely the winner here as well. Technology & Safety Though optional, the infrared night visualization device available on X6 allows drivers to easily identify animals, people or other things ahead of the car during night rides. The infrared camera can be used to determine the temperature and display the icon on the dashboard-based monitor. This rather important system is not present on the GLE. These two models have a lot in common. They both feature standard passenger and driver frontal airbags, knee bags for the driver, side-impact front airbags, head side-impact airbags, seatbelt front pretensioners, 4WD antilock braking systems, crash brake mitigation systems, traction control and rearview cameras, among other great features. Nevertheless, the X6 has more to offer in terms of safety, including the infrared camera which the GLE lacks; hence, your ultimate family car choice. Performance X6 beats the GLE in a number of ways. No one wants to spend more on fuel and looking how the X6 utilises its fuel, it is no wonder the choice of many people across the globe. No matter the capacity of the engine, X6’s regenerative brakes allow for enhanced fuel economy through conversion of the inertia force into power rather than expending it. On the contrary, Mercedes applies regenerative brakes selectively on its brands. Only the hybrid model of GLE features this important system. Bottom line Both BMW and Mercedes are highly reputed for their position in the automobile industry, particularly in performance. However, looking at what BMW X6 offers in terms of performance among other aspects, you can bet that it is actually the best choice for your family compared to the GLE.

In terms of technologies, the 2020 Audi Q8 have dual touchscreens that house all functions for its infotainment interface. These systems rely on audio feedback and haptic touch, which take time getting familiar with. As for driver aids, only automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and front and rear parking sensors are standard. Performance Reaching up to 335 horsepower, the 2020 Audi Q8 is not as fuel efficient as the 300-horsepower engine in the BMW X6. In fact, the X6 can reach up to 18mpg and 24mpg in terms of city and highway driving. Numbers for the Q8 reach only up to 17mpg for city driving and 22mpg for highway driving. The Bottom Line These two cars come from remarkable names in the world of luxury cars, but only one of them stands out as presented in this comparison. The X6 is elegant, and defeats the Q8 in almost all aspects. This makes it a winner. Ready to Schedule a 2020 BMW X6 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW M5 Vs 2021 Tesla Roadster The BMW M5 series has been around for quite some time. The latest generation is however, a sight to behold. It is drenched in beauty. It drips elegance. It exudes confidence. It is a master on the road. You only need to look at its performance, infotainment and other key features to realize why the car is irresistible. First off, it accelerates with unbridled ferocity, thanks to its twin turbo v8 designed to uncork 600 plus horsepower. Note that the car is an all-wheel drive so when you step on the gas pedal, you send power to four different parts. You end up cruising at 60 kph in less than 5 seconds. Then there is the 2021 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 2021 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 2021 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.

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW M5 vs. 2021 Porsche 911 Boasting an excellent engine and a new four-wheel drive system, the 2020 BMW M5 is an excellent car to drive away in. The 2021 Porsche 911 brings retro and modern elements into its design, creating a stunning car. Here is a comparison between both cars. Design & Style Space isn’t sacrificed when it comes to the 2020 BMW M5. Providing sufficient boot space and legroom for passengers is great, which is hardly the case for cars with similar engine performances. The bolstered sport seats and cushioned armrest proves to be excellent for long drives. The intuitive adjustments for the steering wheel and seat allows for a more comfortable ride. The leather trimmings along the edges of the dashboard exudes a professional, yet sporty look. The 2021 Porsche 911 is an absolutely stunning car, with much curves around its edges. The horizontal dashboard and control panel is simplistic, which is an improvement from its predecessors. While the seats might be narrow, it offers plenty of support and has many adjustments to make it comfortable, even for long drives. While the speedo and rev counter is easy to see, other gauges are blocked by the steering wheel. Technology & Safety The 2020 BMW M5 is gifted with BMW’s excellent iDrive infotainment system. It is an excellent companion to this awesome vehicle, providing satellite navigation, Apple Carplay and Spotify services. The infotainment system is also loaded with tons of high-tech features as well. Some exciting ones include BMW’s personal assistant and gestures controls, that has made the interface easier to use especially when on the move. In terms of its additional safety features, the M5 has electronic Stability Control, BMW Assist and blind spot detectors in place. Porsche has a reputation of not adding essential features into their infotainment system, but the 2020 Porsche 911 comes with most of them! It comes with an excellent satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay, DAB radio and a decent eight-speaker stereo. These are controlled using a crisp 10.9-inch touchscreen. We do admit that it is rather difficult to use the system while on the move and it isn’t as intuitive as compared to BMW’s iDrive system. 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 2021 Porsche 911, its six-cylinder 3.0-litre turbocharged engine can produce up to an excellent 443-horsepower. The 911 isn’t a great choice for driving lost-distance though. The wide tires and frameless side windows can produce quite a bit of sound when on the road as compared to the M5. The Bottom Line The 2021 Porsche 911 is beloved for its stunning blend of modern and retro elements into its design. From this comparison, however, it is obvious that the 911 pales in comparison to the 2020 BMW M5 for a multitude of reasons – better engine, design and infotainment system. The 2020 BMW M5 is just that much better! Ready to Schedule a 2020 BMW M5 Test Drive Today?
