Lexus GS 2016 vs BMW 5 series 2016
| Comparing electrical vehicle (EV) with combustion engine (ICE) one is a complex task, but we are doing our best. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 3.5 Hybrid | 3.0 Diesel | |
| Hybrid engines (Lexus GS) excel in urban environments with superior fuel efficiency and lower emissions during stop-and-go driving. Diesel engines (BMW 5 series), however, are more fuel-efficient on long highway trips and provide greater torque for towing and heavy loads. | |||

| Ground clearance: | 130 mm (5.1 inches) | 144 mm (5.7 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, BMW 5 series 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 BMW 5 series version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from ten 4x4 versions of BMW 5 series 2016 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||

| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 6 other car models, including BMW X5, BMW 7 sērija, BMW X3, BMW X6, BMW 6 sērija | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. BMW 5 series 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. | |||
