BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe vs Mercedes A-Class

Performance Capabilities

Without a powerful engine you won’t be cruising around town. Luckily for you, both the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and Mercedes A-Class are offered with powerful engines. In fact, you’ll find a 2.0L turbo engine standard on both vehicles. Although, you’ll find the Gran Coupe packs more power in its punch as it delivers 228 horsepower compared the 188 horsepower of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

Those who choose BMW will have the option of equipping your coupe with more power thanks to the optional 2.0L BMW M Performance TwinPower Turbo engine. With this, you’ll be leaving Mercedes-Benz drivers in your dust as you cruise around the city with 301 horsepower fueling your ride.

When it comes to cruising town, you’ll find that the gas mileage of the BMW 2 Series vs. Mercedes-Benz A-Class is equal.

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe vs Mercedes A-Class Interior

To help you stay comfortable on even the longest of road trips, both sedans have numerous interior features to make you feel right at home, even when on the go. Some of the features you’ll find with both the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and Mercedes A-Class include:

• Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control
• Optional ambient lighting features
• Available sport seats

While there are some similarities, you’ll also find many differences between the interior features of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe vs. Mercedes A-Class. One major difference is the connective features both vehicles offer.

With the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, you’ll have a 7-inch multimedia touchscreen display. On the BMW 2 Series, on the other hand, you’ll have a larger 8.8-inch central information display courtesy of the iDrive 6.0 system. This larger screen makes viewing the compatible apps of your smartphone features, like Apple CarPlay®, easier.

Safety Features

Since safety is the most important thing when cruising around town, you’ll find that both vehicles come standard with several advanced safety features—like Frontal Collision Warning. While both systems are equipped with intelligent monitoring technology, only with the BMW will you have a far more comprehensive standard safety system.

That’s because with the 2 Series Gran Coupe, you’ll have Lane Departure Warning, Active Blind Spot Detection, and Speed Limit Info all standard. With the A-Class, this is only offered with a vehicle upgrade.
