BMW 330i vs. Competitors: See Why the 330i Reigns Supreme among Compact Luxury Cars
The BMW 330i has long been one of the most refined compact luxury cars you can buy, and its latest model continues that legacy. Its punchy acceleration, lively handling, and top-notch cabin materials are second to none. Other small luxury cars like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Volvo S60, and Genesis G70 also have premium interiors, but they aren't as versatile as the BMW 330i. At BMW of South Albany, we developed the following comparisons to help Schenectady drivers decide which car to buy.
BMW 330i vs. Mercedes-Benz C-Class
The new BMW 330i has a modern, attractive infotainment system with a curved 12.3-inch driver information display and a 14.9-inch center display that are a cinch to see and control while you're rolling through Glenmont. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has an 11.9-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. While it's also a feature-rich system, it takes more time to learn how to operate it.
BMW 330i vs. Volvo S60
While fun driving dynamics and a well-equipped infotainment system can make daily driving more enjoyable, you'll also need space to store your luggage or sports gear during outings in Western Massachusetts. The BMW 330i has a class-leading 16.9 cubic-foot trunk to stow your shopping bags or road trip supplies. The Volvo S60 only has 11.6 cubic feet of trunk space.
BMW 330i vs. Genesis G70
With the new BMW 330i, Sarasota Springs drivers don't have to sacrifice fuel economy for driving excitement. Despite its sporty performance, the 330i has a mild-hybrid four-cylinder engine that allows it to earn up to 28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway in models with rear-wheel drive. The Genesis G70's most efficient powertrain only returns 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
