2019 Audi A4 vs. 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class

The 2019 Audi A4 is a wonder car that outperforms most of its rivals across all testing metrics. It is undoubtedly one of the nicest cars in the entry-level luxury wagon segment especially because it is both efficient and good-looking. It also has advanced tech features that make commuting more fun and safer. Another entry-level luxury vehicle that has won many hearts is the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class. As the smallest from the Mercedes-Benz selection of vehicles, the A-Class does not come behind its brothers in terms of good value. Let’s find out which of the two cars will shine as the top choice with this comparison.

Design & Style

The A4 has a conservative styling but punctuated by sharp details, like the body lines that gave the edges more definition. There are also bigger wheels and sculpted bumpers that gave it a strong but not menacing exterior. The cabin looks clean and minimalist but obviously modern in style and design.

The A-Class is attractive but not as sleek as other Mercedes vehicles. It has a traditional sedan shape but with some sporty details, like the short front overhangs and long hood. There are also wheel arches that look good with 19-inch wheels. The cabin is likewise modern and made with premium materials.

Technology & Safety

The A4 is loaded with advanced in-car tech, including onboard Wi-Fi, digital gauge display, and the MMI system for the infotainment. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. There are also advanced driver-assistance features, like the accurate voice recognition feature, that are useful both for daily commutes and road trips.

The A-Class also has impressive tech for infotainment. The audio system is tasteful and easy to use. The only thing that dampens the otherwise great set up is the hyperactive electronic driver aids.

Performance

The A4’s performance is on top of its game, thanks to the powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder 188 hp engine. The power delivery is smooth and can produce excellent acceleration. It is impressively quick and the engine remains quiet unlike other turbo-charged engines.

Like the A4, the A-Class has a 188 hp engine under the hood. The engine’s performance is okay but will not blow you away. It also feels taxed when driving at higher speeds.

The Bottom Line

Both the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and the 2019 Audi A4 are impressive, especially with the amount of technology they are packed with. The A-Class, however have a few misses that significantly reduced its appeal. The A4, on the other hand, is able to balance everything from the styling down to its performance. The A4 outperforms the A-Class in the end.
