Welcome to the next level of driving. As lively luxury cars that can put on quite a performance, the 2021 BMW 5 Series and 2021 Lexus GS are worthy of your consideration. Which one has the qualities you crave on the streets of Mobile, Alabama, and beyond?
We’ll explore these sports sedans in all their refinement and inspiration. From performance to interior features, see what sets each apart and reach out to the team at BMW of Mobile for more information!
5 Series vs GS: A Commanding PerformanceFew luxury sedans feel as lively as the 2021 5 Series and GS can be—especially when equipped with their most powerful engines. You’ll fly down the road and be little more than a blur as you get up to speed!
Standardly powering the Lexus GS is a vigorous V6 with 311 horsepower on tap. Choose a performance-tuned GS F, and you’ll have an incredible 467 horsepower from the V8 engine under the hood. As potent as these engines are, though, you have even more power at your command in the BMW 5 Series.
The BMW M550i breaks barriers with an epic 523 horsepower, blowing past its competition. Aggressive and high-powered, the TwinPower Turbo V8 engine puts this car in a league of its own.
Electrified Efficiency: A Plug-In Hybrid SedanWe’ve covered full-throttle performance, but what about efficiency? For those who want a more eco-conscious way to move from Point A to Point B, we want to introduce the BMW 530e.
This electrified BMW 5 Series is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or PHEV. Powered by a TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder with an integrated electric motor, it moves you forward with 288 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque on tap. Power is only a small part of the appeal, though.
Experience the fuel-saving difference every day with an all-electric range of 21 miles (18 miles when you choose the xDrive Sedan). That should cover short drives and commutes easily! While the BMW 5 Series takes great strides with this PHEV, there is no electrified Lexus GS available.
BMW 5 Series vs Lexus GS: Interior FeaturesExpect a truly luxurious atmosphere when you slide inside the 2021 5 Series or GS. Every surface has had personal attention, it seems: You can delight in the available leather seats and wood finishes, too.
You can let your favorite tunes resonate through the cabin with available premium sound systems. Both the Harman Kardon® surround sound system in the BMW 5 Series and the Mark Levinson® system in the Lexus GS will envelop you and your passengers in the most colorful audio experience.
A fine flourish in the 5 Series are the available ceramic controls. A Black-glazed finish adds a sporty sheen to the iDrive Controller bezel and gear shifter—and the Lexus GS has no style equivalent to that.
We know how difficult it can be to choose between such standout luxury cars! The 2021 BMW 5 Series and 2021 Lexus GS package style and performance in an enticing way for Mobile, AL, drivers.
Still, you may find that the extra power, stylish cabin, and plug-in hybrid possibilities lead you to choose the 5 Series. If so, schedule your test drive at BMW of Mobile and swing by our showroom today!
