How the specs compare

This comparison sets the 2025 Lexus IS 350 F Sport against the 2026 BMW 3 Series 330e xDrive. Both belong to the sedan class, so their dimensions, performance and utility figures address a broadly similar type of car. One uses a petrol powertrain and the other a plug-in hybrid system, so range and consumption figures need to be read in that context.

Performance, power and 0-100 km/h

Both cars record the same 0-100 km/h time of 5.6 seconds. 2025 Lexus IS 350 F Sport has the higher listed output at 311 hp; 2026 BMW 3 Series 330e xDrive is rated at 292 hp, a difference of 19 hp. The torque figures follow 2026 BMW 3 Series 330e xDrive at 420 Nm and 2025 Lexus IS 350 F Sport at 380 Nm. These figures describe straight-line potential only; they do not establish braking performance, ride quality, steering response or durability under repeated hard use.

Range, battery, charging and efficiency

Range and energy-use figures are either not shared by both cars or not directly comparable across these powertrain types.

Dimensions, cargo space and towing

2025 Lexus IS 350 F Sport provides the larger quoted cargo volume: 480 litres versus 375 litres, a difference of 105 litres. 2026 BMW 3 Series 330e xDrive is 3 mm longer overall. Exterior size is not a benefit by itself: a longer body may create useful room, but cargo shape, rear-seat space and ease of parking still require a physical inspection.

The assessment is based on the specifications shown here; it is not presented as a two-car road test.
