2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid vs 2020 BMW 540i in Brookfield, WI

2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid vs 2020 BMW 540i in Brookfield, WI

Pictured above is the 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid in Platinum White Pearl.

While some individuals have resigned themselves to lackluster commutes, others want to be revitalized when they step on the gas. If you belong in the second group, we certainly have a luxury sedan for you to consider here at Acura of Brookfield—the 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid! And, to prove it’s got what it takes to get your adrenaline going, we’re going to compare it to the 2020 BMW 540i.

Performance

The 2020 RLX Sport Hybrid doesn’t mess around with your time on the road. It proves this with its advanced 3-motor system, which utilizes a 3.5L V6 powertrain, an electric motor in the transmission housing, and two more systems mounted side by side between the rear wheels. Working in tandem, they produce 377 system combined horsepower1 and 341 lb.-ft. of system combined torque1. Better yet, the Acura gets a 28/29/28 MPG city/hwy/combined2 fuel economy rating. In the opposite corner, the 2020 540i just doesn’t take things as far. You’ll realize this when you take a look at its standard 3.0L TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder engine, which generates a less-thrilling 335 horsepower and 331 lb.-ft. of torque. Additionally, you’ll wind up spending more on gas due to its 22/30/25 MPG city/hwy/combined3.

Comfort

While you push things to the limit behind the wheel of the 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid, you’ll be completely at ease thanks to its generous array of comfort features. Right off the bat, you’ll get a standard tri-zone automatic climate control system with an air quality sensor and air filtration. This makes it possible for you, your front seat passenger, and guests in the back row to change up the temperature without impacting the settings of anyone else. The BMW sedan’s standard automatic climate control system might have individuals in the rear feeling left out, as they won’t have any way to adjust things. We can’t forget to mention that you’ll get to stretch out a bit more in the Acura, as it provides 42.3 inches and 38.8 inches of respective front and rear legroom. For the same dimensions, the 540i only supplies 41.4 inches in the front and 36.5 inches in the rear.

Technologies

When you’re driving down Interstate 94, you’ll stay entertained no matter the length of the journey in the cabin of the 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid. To kick things off, you’ll get to enjoy your tunes in crystal clear quality thanks to the standard Krell® Premium Audio System that includes 14 speakers. The BMW 540i might not give you the same full-bodied sound with its HiFi stereo with 12 speakers. Moreover, while the Acura comes equipped with standard Pandora® Compatibility4, the BMW fails to, which means you may run out of listening options on your next road trip. Another technology the 540i lacks is GPS-Linked Climate Control5. The Acura does include this feature, so you can count on it to modify your temperature settings in relation to the position of the sun.

We at Acura of Brookfield think it’s clear that the Acura is the champ when it comes to the battle between the 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid vs 2020 BMW 540i in Brookfield, WI. Our team can’t wait to tell you more!

Testimonials

I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Kimberly Tuchman

Brian Hoppe was our salesperson and he was great. He made the purchase smooth from testing the car to purchasing it. Communicating prior to test drive was easy. I sent a message and they reached out and were able to set up an appointment on the same day. No spam calls, just text for communication as we preferred. Upon arrival, Brian was very thoughtful and had warmed up the car for us to test drive. We were able to immediately hop in and test drive without having to worry about warming up the engine or having a hovering salesperson in the backseat. He was not pushy at all, and he didn't have to be. The cars here speak for themselves. You could tell the car was well taken care of and maintained to Acura of Brookfield's high standards. We were able to test drive for a while before confirming the purchase. Although it was past working hours, Brian stayed late to set us up for financing. He took care of us and made sure we had drinks and snacks. The price was reasonable and on top of that Brian set us up with even better financing rates than we had initially hoped for. It was a easy yes. We were able to wrap up signing papers and pick it up the next day which took not even an hour. The car was newly washed, tank full, car warmed up, and parked in front for our convenience. It also had Acura merch plus a little gift. Fun! It made the experience great and throughly seamless. Note, we had been searching for a car for over two months dealing with shady dealerships and salespersons who were pushy and deceptive. This dealership and it's employees were nothing like that. They are honest and fair and hold themselves to high standards when it comes to the quality of their cars. I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Just purchased a pre-owned Honda Accord from Brian Hoppe at Acura of Brookfield. From the moment I walked through the showroom doors he was very professional and easy to deal with. He answered EVERY question I had. He knew a lot about the vehicle that I was interested in and truly made me feel like a valued customer. No hidden fees or high pressure sales. The whole process was very refreshing! I will be buying more cars from Brian in the future. Highly Recommend!!!!

Just bought my second Certified Used car from Acura of Brookfield, 8 years after my first one. I worked with Malcolm and he was great - personable, honest, and he knew the vehicles well. I had planned on a 4-5 year cycle but couldn't let go of my TL and now stepped into a MDX. Both times I was treated with attention and respect - it was a great buying experience and pricing was competitive. I really appreciate how they run this dealership and will recommend them to anyone.
