Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Arteon than the BMW 530, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Arteon, the BMW 530 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
The BMW 530 will require fewer stops at the gas station than the Volkswagen Arteon, making it more convenient to drive.

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). The BMW 530 is somewhat more expensive than the Volkswagen Arteon.

Dimensions
The BMW 530 is a little wider than the Volkswagen Arteon, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW 530, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Arteon.

Handling
The BMW 530 has a larger turning radius than the Volkswagen Arteon, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW 530 has less horsepower than the Volkswagen Arteon, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the BMW 530 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 530 and the Volkswagen Arteon.
