2020 Audi A5 vs. 2020 Lexus LC
The new 2020 Audi A5 exudes perfection at all angles. This athletic vehicle is one of the best to have for those who favor style, performance, and technology above all else. What also adds to its appeal is the fact that it has a roomy cabin, which means plenty of space to accommodate adult passengers. It has plenty of new features to love about that many other luxury vehicles failed to provide.
Another car that is valued for having a spacious cabin is the 2020 Lexus LC. In fact, it is targeted towards buyers who value pampered rides with roomy backseats. This high-end vehicle has that but will it be enough?
Design & Style
The sporting demeanor of the A5 is made more prominent by its refined styling. The front and rear bumpers were reshaped and side sills were added to give it a sharp silhouette. The exterior is also more expressive with the Matrix-designed headlights and animated taillights. The daring appearance of the A5 extends into its cabin. The interior has a well-positioned, ergonomic layout to have ultra comfortable surroundings.
The LS looks good as far as its styling is concerned. It is not lavish but it looks pleasant, although not as elegant as the A5. The cabin is also not made of premium materials but it looks classy with its subtle styling.
Technology & Safety
Tech-savvy individuals will find the technology on the A5 superb. The infotainment system is very intuitive that it works as if you are using a smartphone. The concert-hall clarity of the audio set-up is very tempting. The driver-safety aids are also exceptional with the use of radar, sonar, and cameras to keep the driver informed and the car aware of everything around it. This makes it effective in avoiding collisions.
The LS does have a fine infotainment system but you can’t expect it to have the modern amenities of the A5. Many of those who have tried it say that the UI is a chore to operate. It is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto but it would take a lot of patience how to make it work seamlessly.
Performance
The composed and grippy driving of the A5 is all attributed to its reliable 248 hp, 2.0- liter turbocharged engine. The suspension is also very agile and it helps that it has the Quattro all-wheel drive for the best traction.
A V6 engine is standard on all LS. It provides ample thrust but the chassis finds it difficult to keep up. The engine is also noisy which effectively disturbs the calm demeanor of the LS.
The Bottom Line
When it comes to luxury vehicles, it is apparent that everyone expects perfection. The 2020 Audi A5 did its part and successfully showed how being premium should look and act like. The 2020 Lexus LC, on the other hand, is able to show a good façade but it failed to keep the expectations up as some of its characteristics are too subdued that made it look lacking.
