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: | 156 HP | 92 HP | |
| Torque: | 250 NM | 144 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 8.8 seconds | 9.8 seconds | |
|
BMW 3 series is more dynamic to drive. BMW 3 series engine produces 64 HP more power than Renault Megane, whereas torque is 106 NM more than Renault Megane. Thanks to more power BMW 3 series reaches 100 km/h speed 1 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Consumption: | 7.5 l/100km | ||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 59 litres | 39 litres | |
| Read the article "Fuel Efficiency: How to Reduce Fuel Consumption" to learn more about fuel economy. | |||
Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Renault Megane) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (BMW 3 series) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
