2018 Subaru WRX STI VS 2018 BMW 2 SERIES CABRIOLET
2018 Subaru WRX STI:
With its 268-hp, 2.0-liter direct injection turbocharged BOXER engine, Symmetrical All Wheel Drive and Active Torque Vectoring, the rally-bred WRX is a performance and value benchmark in the high-performance AWD sport-compact segment. The WRX comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission and offers an optional performance automatic transmission, the Sport Lineartronic® CVT with manual mode. The WRX features new front and rear suspension tuning for improved steering stability and ride comfort, while retaining the car's high cornering performance capability. Subaru significantly enhanced shifter feel for the 6-speed manual transmission, with a new synchro design and reduced friction, along with smoother clutch take-up. The WRX electric power steering (EPS) was revised to provide an even smoother, more natural feel, while integrating the steering motor and electronic control unit reduces weight. A new optional Performance Package for the WRX Premium features Recaro 8-way power seats, red-painted brake calipers and upgraded JURID brake pads, and deletes the moonroof to reduce weight. The standard 18-inch wheels feature a bold new double-spoke design. WRX STI for 2018: A comprehensive handling enhancement for the 2018 STI includes the revised suspension tuning as featured on the WRX, plus a revised DCCD AWD system, significantly upgraded brakes and this model's first-ever 19-inch wheels. The DCCD system, which previously used a combination of mechanical and electronic center limited slip differential control, now uses electronic control for quicker and smoother response. The 19-inch alloy wheels feature a striking Y-shaped spoke design and carry 245/35R19 tires that help raise cornering performance while giving the STI an even more aggressive stance.
2018 BMW 2-Series Convertible:
Engines, powertrain, chassis: An extensive line-up of three-, four- and six-cylinder engines is available for the BMW 2-Series Coupe and BMW 2-Series Convertible, producing outputs from 100 kW/136 hp to 250 kW/340 hp (fuel consumption combined: 8.3 - 3.8 l/100 km [34.0 - 74.3 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 189 - 101 g/km). All the petrol and diesel engines are from the latest BMW EfficientDynamics engine family and feature BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. In addition to a basic concept that is inherently more efficient, all the diesel engines feature new turbocharger technology and enhanced common-rail direct injection systems. BMW 2-Series Coupe customers can choose from nine engine options, including five petrol variants. The three-cylinder unit earmarked for the 218i develops 100 kW/136 hp (fuel consumption combined: 5.6 - 5.1 l/100 km [50.4 - 55.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 130 - 118 g/km). And the four-cylinder engines offer 135 kW/184 hp in the 220i (fuel consumption combined: 5.9 - 5.5 l/100 km [47.9 - 51.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 136 - 127 g/km) or 185 kW/252 hp in the 230i (fuel consumption combined: 5.9 - 5.7 l/100 km [47.9 - 49.6 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 134 - 131 g/km). And then there is the six-cylinder engine powering the BMW M240i M Performance model. This turbocharged straight-six generates 250 kW/340 hp and has combined fuel consumption of 7.8 - 7.1 l/100 km [36.2 - 39.8 mpg imp]. CO2 emissions are 179 - 163 g/km. The BMW M240i xDrive all-wheeldrive model returns combined fuel consumption of 7.4 l/100 km [38.2 mpg imp] and CO2 emissions of 169 g/km. Diesel variants of the BMW 2-Series Coupe come in 218d, 220d/220d xDrive and 225d forms. Outputs stretch from 110 kW/150 hp via 140 kW/190 hp to 165 kW/224 hp (fuel consumption combined: 4.7 - 3.8 l/100 km [60.1 - 74.3 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 124 - 101 g/km)...
