Performance and reliability are important when it comes to choosing your next sedan.

Luxury and power go hand in hand these days, and the BMW 330i and the Lexus IS 300 deliver. Both models are equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, but if you’re after more power, the 330i is the sedan for you. Its engine is capable of 255 horsepower, while the IS 300 can only manage 241 horsepower.
All that power means you’ll notice faster acceleration when zooming along the highway..
Pair that extra muscle with the optimal fuel economy of the BMW 3 Series 330i, and you’ll be able to go a long time without stopping at the pump. It achieves a fuel consumption of 9.5 city/6.9 highway L/100 km.* Compare that to the IS 300. Its fuel consumption comes in at 11 city/7.6 highway L/100 km.

It takes more than just power to make a good sedan. You'll want a comfortable interior for the roads you drive to and from work as well.

You’ll get a bevy of luxury amenities in either model. It’s all about you with standard or available features like:
- Power-adjustable front seats
- Multi-zone Climate Control
- Heated front seats
- Moonroof
Both sedans offer seating for five and give you at least 970 millimetres (38.2 inches) of front headroom. When you’re in charge of the company carpool, the folks in the back row are more likely to sing your praises from the back seat of a 2022 BMW 330i. It boasts 893 millimetres (35.2 inches) of rear legroom, while the Lexus IS 300 only has 818 millimetres (32.2 inches) of rear legroom.

One of the most crucial factors to look into when buying a new car is safety. Once again, the 2022 BMW 330i and the Lexus IS 300 have you covered.

Safety is of the utmost importance when it comes to choosing a new car. Luckily, both the BMW 330i and the Lexus IS 300 have comprehensive safety suites.
These suites both offer a variant of the following features:
- Active Lane Keeping Assistant
- Active Blind Spot Detection
- Frontal Collision Warning
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and both the 2022 BMW 330i and the Lexus IS 300 have plenty of features for collision prevention.
If the unimaginable should happen, you’ll only get Active Protection with the 330i. This system detects imminent collisions and prepares by automatically tightening the safety belts, closing the windows, and activating post-accident braking. The IS 300 doesn’t offer a similar feature.
