BMW 328i vs Infiniti G37

Let’s make a comparison between the two powerful and luxury sedans. Starting from the model built, the BMW 328i is longer in size and has that trademark kidney grille right in front of it and large head and tail lights giving it and aggressive look. The interior again is traditional and nothing out of the ordinary comes here. The G37 Infiniti stands aggressively as well with even larger lights while the elegant compact looks smoother. So, it is Infiniti to take the lead from the front.

Performance of BMW cars has been the benchmarks for sport sedans for decades. It comes with 2 liter 240-hp 4-cylinder while the V6 engines are installed in upper models. The 328i is one of the strongest machines and can achieve 0-60 mph in just 5.7 seconds and that is remarkable. The G37 with 3.7 liter V6 engine does not get that turbocharged power of BMW yet it has enough force to satisfy the speed enthusiasts. But overall G37 lands no where near the turbocharged 328i.

As far as the interior is concerned the 328i has much roomier cabin as compared to previous models. The normal person can easily fit in the rear seat now which was a hard go in previous models. The taller ones may still find it uneasy to get in and out of the vehicle by bending their heads. Here G37 is a weakling once again because interior is not as best as it should be. The interior may feel sporty but it has no lavish touch in it.

328i has a good safety rating apart from the other aspects. The front and side collision has higher while the roof-top collision and rear collision has marginal rating. It has more aluminum along with ultrahigh tensile steel whereas the G37 has an average crash test rating and has higher rating for front and side collision. The electronic stability control is standard in each trim. Here, 328i clearly defeats the G37.

Among other features, the 328i offers automatic climate control, dynamic cruise control, sun roof, fog lamps, ambient lighting, HD and USB Radio and Bluetooth connectivity. Whereas G37 comes with automatic climate control, XM satellite radio, 6 speaker audio system, adaptive front lighting and power front seats. 328i has an edge against G37 in the aspect of features as well.

The fuel consumption of the 328i with 4-cylinder engine gives a great gas mileage of 24 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway whereas; The G37 with V6 engine gives the gas mileage of17 MPG with in the city and 25 MPG on the highway.BMW 328i has a clear edge over Infiniti G37 in the mileage.

So, the two sport sedans have been close to each other in some aspects but overall BMW 328i gains a fair victory over Infiniti G37 specifically in the attributes of quality, gas mileage and features as BMW has been the top notch in producing high quality vehicles over the years.
