BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo 320i (2014) vs BMW X1 xDrive28i (2014): What is the difference?
fuel economy (city)
8.9l/100 km
12.8l/100 km
Fuel economy is a measurement of fuel efficiency, based on how far you can travel with a certain amount of petrol (gasoline). A lower fuel economy means the car will be cheaper to run.
maximum torque
270Nm
353Nm
Torque is a measurement of an engine’s power, closely related to horsepower. More torque indicates a more powerful vehicle and is also a good indication of its acceleration.
fuel economy (highway)
5.4l/100 km
8.6l/100 km
Fuel economy is a measurement of fuel efficiency, based on how far you can travel with a certain amount of petrol (gasoline). A lower fuel economy means the car will be cheaper to run.
horsepower
184hp
240hp
Horsepower is the most common unit for measuring the power of an engine.
engine size
2l
2l
This measurement is the total volume of all the engine’s cylinders, also known as the engine displacement. This is one of many aspects of an engine that determine its horsepower, but generally speaking a greater size indicates more power.
fuel economy (combined)
6.7l/100 km

Has a turbocharged engine
✔
BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo 320i (2014)
✔
BMW X1 xDrive28i (2014)
A turbocharger compresses the air entering the cylinders, allowing more air (and therefore more fuel) to be added – resulting in a more powerful explosion. This leads to an increase in horsepower without increasing the size and weight of the engine.
Has Stop-Start system
✖

✔
BMW X1 xDrive28i (2014)
A Stop-Start system automatically turns off the engine when stopping in traffic or at a red light, and seamlessly starts it again when pressure is applied to the accelerator. This saves fuel and is more ecological.
number of cylinders
4
4
Although there are many aspects that determine the power, a higher number of cylinders is generally a good indication of the potential power of the engine.
