Below, you'll find a comparison of the two rivals to the BMW 2 Series, where we'll showcase how the BMW sedan comes out on top. Let us know if you have any questions!

BMW 2 Series vs. Jaguar XE
While power might not always be the first thing you think of when considering a new sedan, it's still disappointing when you won't have enough power to do the things you want to do while on the road. The BMW 2 Series equips a 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine, which delivers 255 horsepower and 294 pound-feet of torque. For the Jaguar XE, you'll have to settle for a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that only provides 247 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. The BMW 2 Series has a more powerful engine.
While the BMW 2 Series offers more power than its Jaguar rival, that doesn't mean you'll need to sacrifice efficiency to speed away from the competition. The BMW 2 Series enjoys an efficient drive, offering an EPA-estimated 26/35 mpg city/highway. On the other hand, the Jaguar XE only offers 20/30 mpg city/highway - you'll find yourself stopping at the gas pump more frequently.
Staying safe is important no matter what type of vehicle you choose to drive. With the BMW 2 Series sedan, you'll enjoy an array of driver assistance features that help you avoid unfortunate traffic collisions. Each 2 Series sedan comes equipped with Active Driving Assistant, which features Frontal Collision Warning, Active Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and Speed Limit Info. You can't find any of these features standard on the Jaguar XE lineup.
BMW 2 Series vs. Lexus IS
Once again, the BMW 2 Series proves that it values power and performance over its competition. While both the BMW 2 Series and Lexus IS equip 2.0-liter turbocharged engines, the BMW sedan's engine comes out as the more powerful option. With the BMW, you'll enjoy 255 horsepower and 294 pound-feet of torque. With the Lexus IS base model, you'll only get 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It's easy to see why you want the BMW 2 Series if the need for speed is calling you.
Inside, accommodating luxury makes your life easier in both sedans. While the Lexus IS equips the Lexus Infotainment System standard with an eight-inch touchscreen, the BMW 2 Series makes your music and apps more accessible with a standard 8.8-inch touchscreen. Both sedans can upgrade to a 10.3-inch touchscreen for even better accessibility.
While smaller sedans aren't known for their accommodating interiors, you won't have that problem with the BMW 2 Series. The lineup offers 39.8 inches of headroom for front and rear-seat passengers, allowing you to sit up comfortably. In the Lexus IS, you'll feel a bit more cramped - the Lexus lineup only offers 38.2 inches of headroom in the front row and 36.9 inches for rear-seat passengers.
