BMW 2 Series vs Lexus IS: Interior Comfort and Utility

The interior of your luxury sedan should do it all. That's why we love that the BMW 2 Series and Lexus IS feature cabins that make both comfort and utility a priority. For example, they strive to keep all passengers comfortable with standard dual-zone climate control. This lets you and the front passenger choose your own temperature settings for your side of the cabin.

As for utility, both sedans have two rows of seats that can accommodate up to five passengers. So, that's enough room for the whole family as you head to the airport for your next family vacation. However, based on their cargo capacities, one vehicle noticeably lets you pack more:

• BMW 2 Series Trunk Volume: 15.19 cubic feet
• Lexus IS Trunk Volume: 10.8 cubic feet

With more than five cubic feet less trunk space than the BMW, the Lexus may have you leaving a few things behind.

Technology Features

The cabins of these sedans aren't just luxurious, they're also high-tech. With both the BMW 2 Series and Lexus IS, you'll have all the technology you need to stay connected, entertained, and on track, including:

• Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto™
• Bluetooth® wireless

You can access all these features through the touchscreen in your center stack. The BMW comes standard with an 8.8-inch touchscreen display while the Lexus IS has a standard 8-inch screen. You can also use voice command to activate certain infotainment features with the sound of your voice while keeping your hands safely on the wheel.

If you're exploring uncharted territories, allow the fully integrated navigation system to guide you. The BMW 2 Series makes its navigation system standard, while the Lexus IS requires an upgrade before it's an option.

Hit the Track in the BMW 2 Series or Lexus IS

When the workday's done and you want to let off some steam, it's time to rev your engine and feel that power roaring under the hood. Both the BMW 2 Series and Lexus IS bring plenty of energy with their standard or available 2.0L turbocharged I-4 engines. You can see those specs below:

With its twin turbocharger and 331 lb-ft of torque, the BMW 2 Series is able to blast off from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.7 seconds when equipped with its available M Series 2.0L I-4 engine. The Lexus IS, on the other hand, takes 6.1 seconds to get there with its 2.0L engine, which may cost you the race in the end.
