2020 Audi A7 vs. 2020 Acura TLX
An epitome of versatility and elegance, the 2020 Audi A7 oozes with sophistication that cannot be found in other cars in its segment. It is a sleeker alternative to the A6 and more practical with the hatchback style. It is also a potent performer and very engaging on the road, precisely why this non-traditional luxury vehicle excels in a lot of ways.
Although the A7 is a fierce competition, the 2020 Acura TLX is a well-appointed mid-size luxury sedan that is bold and spirited. It is pretty much impressive but this comparison will show how it still lacks the refinements that the A7 is known for.
Design & Style
The A7 has a shapely body that sports new details and creases that only made it look more elegant on the outside. The side profile is more defined with a sharper character line while the obvious creases made the car look less bulky. In its cabin is an organized array of features that are bathed with warm interior hues. An extra kick of elegance may also be added with the choice of various wood and metal trims.
Although the styling is more on the conservative side, the TLX still looks attractive both inside and out. If you will have to compare it against the A7, however, the TLX will look boring and uninspired. The cabin is more refined to look at compared to its exterior. Upper trim models get to have premium-looking details like leather-covered bucket seats and contrasting stitching and piping.
Technology & Safety
The A7 has a dazzling set of infotainment system. It comes with dual touchscreen displays that have large icons for the tech features. Advanced entertainment and connectivity comes standard and there are more desirable options available. It is also equipped with modern driver-assistance features such as night vision and adaptive cruise control.
While the A7 is successful at seamlessly integrating its dual displays to the infotainment console, the TLX only provided a distractive set of technology. The knobs and touchscreen controls are confusing and the voice controls re limited and badly needs to be upgraded.
Performance
There are three trim levels to choose from on the A7 and all comes with a powerful V6 engine for up to 335 horsepower. This engine enables the A7 to accelerate strong but remain smooth and controlled.
Aside from the V6 engine option, the TLX also comes with four-cylinder options such as the 2.4- liter 206-hp on the base model. The 3.5-liter V6 can deliver as much as 290 hp.
The Bottom Line
Although the 2020 Acura TLX seems to fit the bill for a luxury vehicle, it is very lacking when compared to the standards set by the 2020 Audi A7. The A7 simple excels in its segment because it has everything that you can expect from a luxury car.
