The BMW 3 Series wins for its engaging Rear-Wheel Drive setup and significantly quicker acceleration of 5.8 seconds, making it the top choice for those who love a sporty and dynamic driving experience.
The Lexus ES offers a more accessible starting price from 192,510 SAR and a more spacious, comfort-oriented interior, making it ideal for buyers prioritizing luxury and smooth rides without breaking the bank.
With a combined fuel economy as low as 5.5 L/100km, the BMW 3 Series is the more economical choice at the pump, perfect for daily commuting and long-term savings on fuel costs.
While trunk space is slightly less, the Lexus ES's longer (5.0m) and wider (1.9m) body provides a more expansive and refined passenger experience, especially for rear occupants, enhancing its luxury appeal.
