BMW vs. Lexus: Which Luxury Brand Is Best for Scranton Drivers
BMW vehicles are known as the Ultimate Driving Machines because of their brisk acceleration and agile handling. They also have plush interiors with intuitive technology that enhances your driving experience. At Tom Hesser BMW in Scranton, PA, we have a full line of new BMW models for sale or lease at competitive prices. We developed the following comparisons to show how the BMW brand compares to Lexus.
Performance
Both BMW and Lexus make luxury cars and SUVs that are enjoyable to drive, but BMW vehicles are generally more athletic. Built with precise German engineering, their well-built chassis and accurate steering make them a blast to drive on curvy roads in Scranton. Most BMW models are available with multiple engines, so you can get a higher trim with especially swift acceleration. Most Lexus vehicles only come with one engine, so you're more limited in how fast they can go. Since BMW offers more models in each vehicle segment, you're more likely to find a BMW car or SUV that satisfies your cravings for performance or fuel economy.
Interior Quality
BMW cars and SUVs have inviting interiors with posh materials and tasteful design schemes. Lexus vehicles also have upmarket materials, but they're not as visually exciting as BMW models. Since Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota, you can often notice the roots of the less upscale Toyota models they're based on.
Technology
BMW vehicles are loaded with innovative infotainment and safety features to keep you safe and entertained on the roads of Scranton, PA, including the voice-activated virtual assistant and collision detection with automatic lane change assistance. Many Lexus models also offer voice command systems, but they tend to respond more slowly than BMW's technology.
Safety
Lexus equips their vehicles with an array of driver assistance features, but again, they often react or issue warnings a little slower than that of BMW's advanced active safety features.
ÂBMW vs. Lexus
BMW X7 vs. Lexus TX
The new BMW X7 is a large luxury SUV with seating for seven passengers. It also has a supple ride and impressive handling for its size. The Lexus TX also seats seven, but its soft suspension delivers a less engaging ride than the BMW X7's setup.


BMW X5 vs. Lexus GX
The BMW X5 is a midsize luxury SUV with standout performance and a sleek, tech-rich interior. A panoramic sunroof is standard for a brighter, airier cabin on clear days in Scranton. The Lexus GX has less refined handling compared to the X5. The base GX trim has a smaller sunroof than the X5.
BMW X3 vs. Lexus RX
The BMW X3 has muscular turbocharged engines for effortless passing on the highways in Scranton, PA. An available 393-horsepower engine in M50 xDrive models allows the X7 to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. The Lexus RX has only one engine option making 275 horsepower.


BMW 5 Series vs. Lexus ES
The BMW 5 Series is a midsize luxury sedan that comes standard with a turbocharged 255-horsepower four-cylinder engine. Thrifty Scranton drivers will appreciate that this powertrain returns up to 35 mpg on the highway. The Lexus ES's base engine only generates 203 horsepower. It only earns 33 mpg on the highway.
