When you step into the cabin of both the 3 Series and ATS, you won’t be disappointed. Both vehicles offer high-quality, soft-touch materials, giving you the look and feel of a luxury sedan.
With luxury comes space and comfort for all passengers. The BMW 3 Series offers plenty of legroom for backseat riders—35.2 inches to be exact. The Cadillac ATS falls a little behind here, offering backseat passengers 33.5 inches of legroom.
If you’re concerned with cargo space, the 2020 3 Series takes the lead here as well. The 3 Series offers 13 cubic feet of trunk room, while the ATS comes in second with just 10.4 cubic feet of trunk volume. With the 3 Series, you’ll be able to fit in everyone’s luggage for your next vacation, plus a few grocery bags as well!
Technology features are a big factor with choosing the right luxury vehicle, as they play a role in keeping you both entertained and safe. Fortunately, you’ll find state-of-the-art technology in both the 2020 3 Series and the ATS.
BMW’s iDrive infotainment system comes standard in the 3 Series via an 8.8-inch display, which can either be controlled by a knob or a touchscreen. The ATS features the Cadillac user experience infotainment system, but it doesn’t have as many options when it comes to control. The entire dashboard is touch-sensitive, so even raising the volume can be a bit difficult.
When it comes to safety, both the 3 Series and ATS excel in this category. Both vehicles come standard with a rear-view camera and offer plenty of assistance features, including:
With these great features, it’ll be like you have an extra set of eyes while on the road!
Engine power and fuel economy are equally important when choosing a sedan. Fortunately, you’ll get the best of both worlds in the 3 Series and ATS. The 3 Series offers three different engine options, including:
The ATS offers just two engine options: either a 2.0L base Turbo 4-cylinder engine or a 3.6L V6 motor.
Although both the 2020 BMW 3 Series and 2019 Cadillac ATS are great choices for your next luxury sedan, it’s the 3 Series that we think is worth a test drive.
