2022 Porsche 718 Cayman vs. 2022 BMW 4-Series

The 2022 BMW 4-Series and 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman are two sports cars that have been competing in the same class for years. Both of them are manufactured by German car manufacturers, so their price tags can be quite similar. Both models have a lot to offer when it comes to performance, handling, and style. Here's a closer look at which one is better for you.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The 718 Cayman is a sports car that can be purchased in coupe or convertible styles. It has a sleek, curvy exterior design, with large headlights and taillights that contribute to its distinctive look. The doors of the car have been designed to open high up so you can get in and out easily.

The BMW 4-Series is also a sporty vehicle, but it looks more like a sedan than a coupe. It has larger headlights and taillights than those on the Porsche 718 Cayman; these are surrounded by chrome trim that runs down both sides of the vehicle's body for extra style points (or perhaps just to make sure everyone knows what kind of vehicle you're driving). This model has two doors - this makes it easier for passengers to get in or out of their seats quickly without having to wait for someone else who may be standing at their side door until they're done opening theirs first.

• Interior Design

The Porsche 718 Cayman has a more futuristic design to the BMW 4-Series, with the buttons and switches positioned in a central location. The 718's interior is also slightly larger than the BMW's, so you'll have more room for your head and shoulders.

If you're looking for an interior that's going to impress your friends and family (and maybe even give them something to talk about at dinner), then we'd recommend picking up a used 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman instead of a new 2022 BMW 4-Series.

Technology & Safety

As far as technology and safety go, the Porsche 718 Cayman has you covered. The base model comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen display and Apple CarPlay for your smartphone, but only two USB ports in the back seat for charging. The midrange trim adds an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation and voice control features, while the S builds on this with a 12-speaker Harman Kardon stereo system, adaptive dampers and 20-inch wheels along with numerous other upgrades in addition to those already mentioned.

The BMW 4-Series doesn't match up quite so well on paper here either. While it does have a standard 7-inch display screen (no Apple CarPlay) as well as 12 speakers of its own that can be upgraded to 14 speakers (including Bang & Olufsen), it only offers one USB port per row of seats instead of two - leaving more than one person to share space in the back seat.

Performance

The 2020 BMW 4-Series has a 2.0L turbocharged I4 engine that produces 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman also has a 2.5L turbocharged I4 engine that produces 242 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. However, the BMW 4 Series's engine performs slightly better than the Porsche 718 Cayman's due to its higher peak numbers and lower redline speed limit (7200 rpm compared to 8000 rpm).

The Bottom Line

All in all, the new Porsche 718 Cayman is a worthy successor to the previous model. It has everything you could want in an everyday sports car that's also capable of going on long road trips with the family. The styling is very similar to what we've seen before but there are some subtle differences that help it stand out from its competition while still being familiar enough not scare away buyers who don't want anything too different from what they're used too when driving around town every day!
