Alfa Romeo vs BMW

 Spartanburg drivers looking to make a statement on the roads of South Carolina will want to buy European luxury vehicles. These vehicles are known for their finely honed driving dynamics, exquisite comfort and eye-catching style. Yet not all European luxury vehicles are created equal. Thus, it pays for Greenville luxury car customers to understand the differences between different brands before making a purchase.

At Benson Alfa Romeo, we are proud of the work we do to help our neighbors experience European luxury at friendly prices. The Benson family stretches across the Carolinas, yet is united by a desire to make vehicle shopping as pleasant and easy as possible.

 Meet the Alfa Family

The BMW brand is more widely known than the much smaller Alfa Romeo lineup. Yet does the bigger brand truly offer more choices? Or do Alfa Romeo vehicles provide a more complete and honest luxury experience than any of the vehicles in the BMW brand? 


The Alfa Romeo lineup consists of the Giulia sedan and the Stelvio crossover. In terms of size, these vehicles are roughly comparable to the 3 series and X3 in the BMW lineup. Both the Giulia and the Stelvio get around with a 280-horsepower inline-four engine. They also boast richly decorated interiors dripping with leather accents, even on the base trims.


Drivers wishing for a performance variant of their Alfa Romeo vehicle can choose a Quadrifoglio model. Quadrifoglio vehicles use a 505-horsepower V6 engine with 443 pound-feet of torque. While most Alfa Romeo vehicles fill out their cabins with materials such as fine leather and wood, Quadrifoglio models opt for performance-optimized carbon fiber

 Style, Performance, and History

Perhaps the biggest advantage that an Alfa Romeo vehicle has over its BMW counterpart is that it offers a luxury feel even on base trims, at prices far below those of BMW vehicles. Thus, Simpsonville drivers can enjoy the thrill of luxury vehicle ownership without having to swallow luxury vehicle prices.

Like many other German luxury vehicles, the BMW brand offers decently capable performance and some interior comfort. If it were not for the vehicle's famed frontal visage with the prominent Hofmeister kink, a BMW would hardly stand out on Spartanburg streets.

Alfa Romeo is different. Where BMW has its kidney grille, Alfa vehicles have the historic V Scudetto front air intake, with a history dating back to 1934. The four-leaf clover on the side of an Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio has a legacy just as proud as, if not more so than, the BMW M performance division. And with a variety of exciting available colors and careful design throughout the entire body, every Alfa Romeo vehicle is engineered to stand out when viewed from any angle.

 Test Drive an Alfa Romeo in Greenville, South Carolina

When most South Carolina residents think of luxury European brands, they think of a procession of bland sedans and crossovers that use similar styling and require pricey upgrades in order to attain a truly luxury feel. Alfa Romeo vehicles, however, are different. They offer true Italian design and passion for driving performance, combined with unique styling cues along the entire vehicle and opulent interiors befitting the best of the luxury market. And they do it all for much less than their German competitors.


At Benson Alfa Romeo, we offer a wide variety of new and used vehicles for Anderson drivers. Our finance and service centers, with values rooted in Upstate tradition, are happy to help our neighbors find and maintain great Alfa Romeo vehicles. So visit us today at 500A W. Wade Hampton Blvd. or call us at (964) 372-9144 to learn more or to schedule a test drive.
