Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Arteon than the BMW 330, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Arteon, the BMW 330 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 330 as you will with the Volkswagen Arteon, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW 330 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen Arteon.

Dimensions
Since the BMW 330 is much slimmer than the Volkswagen Arteon, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The BMW 330 is slightly shorter than the Volkswagen Arteon, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW 330 has a smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen Arteon, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW 330 has less horsepower than the Volkswagen Arteon, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the BMW 330 and the Volkswagen Arteon do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 330 and the Volkswagen Arteon.
