BMW 3 series 2022 vs Renault Megane 2020
| 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 Petrol | 1.6 Hybrid | |
| Petrol engines (BMW 3 series) are generally cheaper to purchase and maintain, with simpler mechanics and consistent highway performance. Hybrid (Renault Megane) engines, on the other hand, provide significantly better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, especially in urban and stop-and-go traffic conditions. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 245 HP | 92 HP | |
| Torque: | 400 NM | 144 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 6 seconds | 9.8 seconds | |
|
BMW 3 series is more dynamic to drive. BMW 3 series engine produces 153 HP more power than Renault Megane, whereas torque is 256 NM more than Renault Megane. Thanks to more power BMW 3 series reaches 100 km/h speed 3.8 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Consumption: | 8.1 l/100km | ||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 59 litres | 39 litres | |

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Ground clearance: | 135 mm (5.3 inches) | 145 mm (5.7 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Renault Megane can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Renault Megane version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||

| Length: | 4.71 m | 4.63 m | |
| Width: | 1.83 m | 1.87 m | |
| Height: | 1.15 m | 1.46 m | |
| BMW 3 series is 9 cm longer than the Renault Megane, 4 cm narrower, while the height of BMW 3 series is 31 cm lower. | |||
