The 2014 Volvo S60 vs. The 2014 BMW 3 Series

If you're a driver in the Cambridge area looking for a luxury sports sedan that can deliver serious performance while meeting you with a host of creature comforts, then check out the latest Volvo S60 at Lovering Volvo in Nashua. While it's hard to beat the S60 in a number of key performance and feature categories, there are certainly other options available. The 2014 BMW 3 Series is certainly worth a look as well, so let's put these two luxury sports sedans side by side.

Performance Numbers

In terms of performance, both the 2014 Volvo S60 and the 2014 BMW 3 Series offer a range of competitive powertrains. However, while the BMW 3 Series certainly puts up some respectable numbers, the Volvo S60 is the obvious choice for drivers looking for some serious response behind the wheel. The available engines for the BMW 3 Series put out 180 hp, 240 hp, and 300 hp at each different option level. On the other hand, the Volvo S60's three turbocharged powertrains put out 250 hp, 300 hp, and 325 hp, beating out the 3 Series across the board.

Auto Tech

In today's world, more and more people are basing their purchasing decisions on a vehicle's tech specs as much as they are on its performance specifications. Both the BMW 3 Series and the Volvo S60 are equipped with a generous range of standard features, including iPhone integration, Bluetooth hands-free calling, steering wheel mounted audio and cruise controls, and much more. On the other hand, the S60 comes standard with 6 months of free Sirius XM satellite radio, while this technology costs more on the BMW 3 Series.   

Style Perks

Both of these models are in the luxury class, so there's no doubt that both of them include a range of style and comfort features to make them stand out. Both of these models include features like leather steering wheels, sun sensors, dual zone climate controls, and more. Still, the S60 from Volvo again takes the cake. While many parts of the BMW 3 series are styled with simulation alloy parts, the S60 is decorated with genuine alloy and leather trim. The S60 also has memory settings for up to 3 people, while the 3 Series only has memory settings for 2 people.
