BMW 3 series 2018 vs Opel Astra 2016
| Comparing electrical vehicle (EV) with combustion engine (ICE) one is a complex task, but we are doing our best. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 2.0 Hybrid | 1.6 Diesel | |
| Hybrid engines (BMW 3 series) excel in urban environments with superior fuel efficiency and lower emissions during stop-and-go driving. Diesel engines (Opel Astra), however, are more fuel-efficient on long highway trips and provide greater torque for towing and heavy loads. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 113 HP | 136 HP | |
| Torque: | 300 NM | 320 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 5.9 seconds | 10.1 seconds | |
| BMW 3 series engine produces 23 HP less power than Opel Astra, whereas torque is 20 NM less than Opel Astra. Despite less power, BMW 3 series reaches 100 km/h speed 4.2 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Consumption: | 2.1 l/100km + 18.3 kWh/100km | 4.5 l/100km | |

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
|
BMW 3 sērija has 4x4: BMW xDrive is a proactive all-wheel drive system without a center differential that engages before the vehicle becomes destabilized, unnoticed by the driver. Torque is distributed between the axles by an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in the transfer case. The clutch is partially locked at most times, distributing power to both axles in a 40/60 front/rear ratio, but the system is capable of sending 100% of the torque to either axle. At higher speeds or when parking, multi-plate clutch is disengaged and all power is transferred to the rear wheels. DSC system (Dynamic Stability Control) also brakes the wheels separately to regain traction and assist in cornering. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.71 m | 4.70 m | |
| Width: | 1.83 m | 1.81 m | |
| Height: | 1.44 m | 1.51 m | |
|
BMW 3 series is larger, but lower. BMW 3 series and Opel Astra are practically the same length. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 410 litres | 540 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down, if possible |
1420 litres | 1630 litres | |
|
Opel Astra has more luggage space. BMW 3 series has 130 litres less trunk space than the Opel Astra. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Opel Astra (by 210 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 12 meters | 11.1 meters | |
| The turning circle of the BMW 3 series is 0.9 metres more than that of the Opel Astra, which means BMW 3 series can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight: | 2`425 kg | 1`975 kg | |
| Net weight: | 1`890 kg | 1`381 kg | |
| Load capacity: | 535 kg | 594 kg | |
| BMW 3 series load capacity (permitted cargo and passenger weight) is par apmēram 11 procentiem less than Opel Astra. Therefore, Opel Astra is more suitable for longer family trips or transporting heavier loads. | |||
| Safety: | no data | ||
| Quality: | below average | average | |
| Opel Astra has fewer problems. According to annual technical inspection data BMW 3 series has serious deffects in 25 percent more cases than Opel Astra, so Opel Astra quality is probably significantly better | |||
