BMW SAVs vs. Lexus SUVs
Both BMW SAVs and Lexus SUVs offer Southold shoppers comfortable rides and impressive designs. But the first thing that sets a BMW vehicle apart is the power. The most powerful Lexus SUV currently in production makes 409 horsepower, over 200 less than in vehicles like the X5 M and X6 M. Moreover, that 400 horsepower can only be found in the full-size Lexus LX, which still plods from zero to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. That's over a full second slower than every BMW SAV Â- even the BMW X1, which makes do with just 241 horsepower.
But BMW SAVs aren't just quicker than their Lexus counterparts - they also handle better, thanks to bigger wheels, more performance-oriented tires, and specially-tuned suspension systems. For those seeking the ultimate in performance, BMW M-tuned variants of the SAVs offer huge horsepower, configurable Adaptive M Suspension systems, and more.
