When it comes to luxury vehicles, BMW stands head and shoulders above the rest. While an upstart like Tesla may try its best to emulate the revered German automaker's success, it can't replicate the magic that courses through the chassis and powertrain of every new BMW EV for sale in Illinois.
To prove this, our BMW dealer near Rochester is sharing some data showcasing just how the new BMW i4 and iX outperform rival Tesla models. Whether you're looking at an i4 vs. Model 3 comparison or reviewing iX vs. Model Y interior features, one thing is for sure -- there's no new Tesla on the market that can outshine a BMW EV.
First up in our Tesla vs. BMW comparison is the new BMW i4, which we've pitted against the popular Tesla Model 3. For starters, an i4 can be equipped with powerful hardware that delivers higher maximum horsepower and torque than its rival -- in fact, the i4 can generate up to 106 more horsepower than a Model Y.
Within the cabin, the BMW i4 interior takes the win with a larger touchscreen and more standard technologies, such as the Connected Package Professional and Active Driving Assistant feature suites. Thanks to these amenities and its available performance options, the new i4 relegates the Tesla Model 3 to a distant second place.

Just as the i4 bests the Model 3, the new BMW iX outperforms the Tesla Model Y thanks to superior performance and more features. Perhaps most impressive is how much quicker the electric BMW SUV is thanks in part to its xDrive dual-motor design. As a result, the standard iX 0-60 mph time is 4.4 seconds -- nearly a half-second faster than the Model Y.
Inside, you can expect iX features like a Curved Display, HiFi Sound System and the immersive Live Cockpit Plus. The Tesla Model Y, meanwhile, leaves you with a generic infotainment system and no curved display, among its other concessions to the BMW.
