2018 Lexus IS 300

Lexus IS 300 vs BMW 320i: Performance

The 2018 Lexus IS 300 boasts a powerful base engine, a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, which can produce 241-horsepower. While it handles city streets in a nimble manner, it’s also a perfect car for highway drives. The 2018 320i brings just 180-horsepower to the table, which can make it feel like it’s lagging on the highway.
And, since the IS 300 provides 258 lb-ft of torque compared to the 320i’s 200 lb-ft of torque, the IS 300 is faster to accelerate, and helps improve engine efficiency while driving. Both cars come standard with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive technology is offered for better traction and grip on the roadways.

    IS 300 vs 320i: Interior Space and Amenities

    A noticeable difference between these two vehicles is evident from the moment you step inside the cabin and sit down. It comes up front, as the IS 300 offers 44.8 inches of front legroom. The 320i checks in at just 42 inches, making it feel a bit cramped on longer drives. The IS 300 also has the advantage when it comes to front shoulder room, giving those seated in the front a higher level of comfort.
    Both vehicles offer lavish interiors, but the IS 300 stands out, thanks to a standard power sunroof, allowing you to let a little light in. This is only an optional feature on the 320i. And the multi-adjustable power driver’s seat is another convenient standard feature. There’s also a multi-adjustable power passenger’s seat. While the BMW 320i seating is comfortable, these are only available features, not standard.

      Tech Features

      Tech-wise, a rearview camera can be found inside both vehicles. This provides drivers with a better view of what’s going on behind the vehicle when backing up, and comes in handy whether you’re in a parking lot or your own driveway.
      When driving in the IS 300, enjoy the standard satellite radio, allowing you to connect to the latest music, news, and live sporting events. This is only an optional feature inside the 320i. Listen to it all on the optional high-powered Mark Levinson® audio system, found inside the 2018 IS 300.

        2018 Lexus IS 300 vs 2018 BMW 320i: The Verdict

        Thanks to its powerful performance, interior comforts and standout tech features, the 2018 Lexus IS 300 is a vehicle that’s fun to drive and offers luxury for years to come.
