Comparing the Audi A5 against the BMW 4 Series

Of course, the mid-size sedan sector is the most competitive and dense sector in the automotive world, but this does not prevent the luxury sedan sector from witnessing competitions of this kind. There, too, companies such as Audi, Mercedes and BMW are competing for the hearts and money of millionaires. .The Audi A5 and BMW 4 Series are two of the main competitors in this segment, and they are the focus of our discussion here.For Audi, the ‘quattro’ means all-wheel drive, and the high price tag for this model comes from this reason, along with the special proportions and the turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood.As for the design, Audi has taken in its design language smooth and clean lines, along with a classic and elegant shape that has held up even since the Audi first launched in 2008. More sporty with two doors, its height is slightly shorter than the 3 Series, and the ride space is less to give the car a more dynamic look in driving impressions. For the design, BMW is more modern.When driving, handling is good in the Audi A5, but the suspension is not enough to prevent the shocks from interfering with the comfort and quiet inside the car, the steering system also lacks some kind of communication with the driver.When driving a BMW or what you notice that driving requires less effort here, the suspension is more comfortable, and the road is more flexible, BMW offers a better driving experience despite the lack of significant differences in suspension or weight.Using all-wheel drive does not enable the Audi A5 to accelerate faster than the Series 4, the Audi needs 6.4 seconds to reach 100 km from a standing position, while the BMW 428i needs 5.8 seconds.Fuel consumption is very close, but the Audi A5 2.0 TFSI wins it nonetheless, 6.4 L/100 km for Audi models versus 6.7 L/100 km for a BMW 4 SeriesMore performance is offered by Audi with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 180 kW versus 165 kW from BMW, with more torque. The Audi A5 is powered by a seven-speed VW dual-clutch engine, while the BMW 428i is powered by the eight-speed ZF transmission. Which provides a smoother and smarter transmission, in the end the engine performance is better on the Audi, but the smoothness of the ride is better on the BMW.The interior in Audi is better than BMW, elegant and better in interior design, in terms of ride comfort and beauty of the interior design, Audi is in full swing with BMW, but when talking about compact technology I think BMW is always able to grab the lead.In the end, the BMW 428i from the inside is better, which is faster and better in fuel consumption, as well as more comfortable and sharper to drive, but this does not mean that the Audi A5 can be a good alternative to it.
