Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Crown than the BMW 228 Gran Coupe, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Crown, the BMW 228 Gran Coupe may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
With the Toyota Crown you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the BMW 228 Gran Coupe, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Performance
The BMW 228 Gran Coupe has less horsepower than the Toyota Crown, so it will probably be somewhat slower.
