Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Hyundai Grandeur) 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 5 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. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 151 mm (5.9 inches) | 141 mm (5.6 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Hyundai Grandeur 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 Hyundai Grandeur version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||

| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Hyundai Grandeur might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The BMW 5 series engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
