Serving St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Largo
When looking around trying to find your next car that's going to last you until you decide to upgrade again, you can be faced with a lot of different options that makes it incredibly difficult to decide. Compare the 2015 Hyundai Genesis with the BMW 3 Series. They're both great cars and excellent examples of the kind of quality vehicle you should be driving nowadays. Fortunately, though, when comparing two cars together, it's easy to find which vehicle comes out on top.
Trying to find the perfect luxury sedan for you is not an easy choice, especially with so much variety out there. Two kings of the luxury sedan category, the 2015 Hyundai Genesis and BMW 3 Series, battle it out to see which one reigns supreme -- and the Genesis takes the cake.
Engine
You can tell a lot about a vehicle depending on what kind of engine they have in it, and how many cylinders it's got packed in. While the 2015 BMW 3 Series offers a 2 liter 16 valve engine with 4 inline cylinders, the 2015 Hyundai Genesis rises to the top with an impressive 3.8 liter 24 valve engine and V6 cylinders. Even though it's a luxury sedan, it's still got a little attitude to make the vehicles next to it intimidating. On top of an impressive engine, the Genesis also gets 311 horsepower, while the BMW gets 240 hp.
Safety Features
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis has a variety of safety features that the BMW 3 Series is unfortunately lacking. Both have the normal brake assist, daytime running lights, and rain- sensing windshield wipers. They both come with an intelligent post-collision safety system and LED lights. What the Hyundai has over the BMW, though, is an additional pre-collision safety system, a lane departure warning sensor, and blind spot monitoring. This takes the Genesis to the next level.
Space and Capacity
Just because they're luxury sedans doesn't mean they can't also be designed with the ability to be durable and capable. While the BMW 3 Series maxes out with 13 cubic feet of trunk space and 13 cubic feet before it reaches its cargo capacity, the 2015 Hyundai Genesis takes it up a notch. The trunk space for the Genesis stretches out to 15.3 cubic feet, with 15.3 cubic feet for the cargo capacity, beating the BMW by over 2 feet and allowing for plenty of space and room in the Hyundai. Speaking of the trunk as well, the Hyundai comes with a power trunk and liftgate, while the BMW is unfortunately lacking.
If this is not enough for you, consider the all-new 240 hp 2.0 liter turbocharged four cylinder engine. This stouthearted four cylinder manages an impressive 29 mpg on the highway and an equally impressive 20 mpg in the city. Finally, you can opt for the 3.3 liter V6 found in the 2015 BMW 3 Series that still gets 25 mpg on the highway and produces a healthy 290 horsepower. All of the different power plants come connected to a six speed automatic transmission in both the 2015 and 2016 models.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis may just be the luxury sedan you've been looking for. Even down to its size, the Genesis is able to combat the BMW fairly easily. With extra features that make it great, like a panorama sunroof, this Hyundai is just begging to be driven. Come on down to the dealership today to get suited up and take the Hyundai Genesis and the BMW 3 Series both out for a test drive, so you can really compare them for yourself with hands-on experience. After comparing them, you may even be pleasantly surprised that you've found a luxury sedan that you can drive away with and be satisfied with.
