Which is the Right Luxury Sedan for You?
PERFORMANCE
When it comes to hair-raising performance, the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the BMW 3 Series do it right.
Racing DNA
When it comes to hair-raising performance, the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the BMW 3 Series do it right. Under the hood of the Giulia, you’ll find a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that pumps out 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque. With that much power under the hood, you’ll be able to achieve:
- 149 MPH top speed
- 5.1-second acceleration from 0 to 60 MPH
On the other hand, the BMW also sports a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine; however, its power output isn’t as high. You can expect to experience a 255-horsepower and a 294 lb-ft of torque performance in the 3 Series. This difference in capabilities means the 3 Series falls short, with a 130 MPH top speed and a 5.6-second acceleration from 0 to 60 MPH.
Available AWD
Regardless, either option allows you to add an available all-wheel drivetrain to its capabilities, giving drivers a stable and smooth ride experience. Plus, the Alfa Romeo’s DNA Drive Mode Selector and the BMW’s Driving Dynamics Control allow you to experience the drive you desire, with selectable drive modes.
DESIGN
When you think about Alfa Romeo and BMW, you probably think about their distinctive grille designs.
Luxurious Design Inside and Out
The Alfa Romeo’s V Scudetto grille and the BMW’s kidney grille are both landmarks for the manufacturers, which give them a bold, noticeable, and classic look on the road.
However, which sedan offers the classier interior? The Alfa Romeo Giulia! This sedan makes leather-trimmed seats standard, so your party of five can enjoy supple seating wherever the ride takes them. Plus, the front and the rear seats are heated!
On the other hand, the BMW 3 Series swathes its seating in SensaTec upholstery, a leatherette material. If you prefer genuine leather seats with a standard heating function for a more opulent cabin feel, the Alfa Romeo Giulia may be your top choice.
TECHNOLOGY
When you sit behind the steering wheels of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the BMW 3 Series, you’ll find 8.8-inch infotainment displays to your right.
Staying Connected and Charged Up
Both infotainment systems work with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to keep you connected to your friends and family or to play the latest hits. You’ll even find integrated navigation systems on either model.
The Giulia pulls away again by equipping a standard wireless charging pad. This feature not only keeps your phone charged without the hassle of a cord, it further promotes non-distracted driving. Unfortunately, you will not find this feature standard on the BMW 3 Series.
Safety Tech
The BMW 3 Series comes standard with front-wheel drive for a steady drive. It also features an available all-wheel drive (AWD) system for added control. You can take on standard road conditions, but what if you plan on more adventurous drives?
- Pre-Collision Braking System
- Pre-Collision Throttle Management
- Lane Departure and Sway Warning
- Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
