2021 Audi A3 vs. 2021 Cadillac CT4
The 2021 Cadillac CT4 is a well-appointed luxury car that offers a potent ten speed automated gearbox, superb turbo engines and outstanding safety tech. But how does it compare to the 2021 Audi A3, a luxurious sedan rich in turbo power, an array of high tech functions and excellent overall value?
Design & Style
The Audi A3 is compact, yet well designed in every respect. It shares many similarities with the larger A4, but is more affordable. Angular lights can be seen in front, which frames the large grille. It sits on eighteen inch wheels that look good and even the taillight in back is intricate in its presentation. The cabin is not screen heavy when compared to other Audis, and uses a minimalistic style which works perfectly. An infotainment pops up with the necessary info and drivers also have access to a cluster gauge relay that is fully customized. The Cadillac CT4 is conservative and clean cut, maintaining the sharp exterior edges that the brand has become known for. The front lights are pinched, with prominent wheels and a cabin that is fully stocked. The trim is upmarket and comfortable, with eight inch touchscreens that are bright and readily accessible.
Technology & Safety
The Cadillac CT4 is equipped with state of the art technology designed to prevent collisions before they occur. To this end, drivers and passengers will be protected by reverse automated brakes, cruise control that is adaptive, and a proprietary feature called Super Cruise, which allows hands off operation for a limited period of time. Its purpose is to lower driver fatigue, and it works. Luxuries within the cabin include leather upholstery, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and climate control. The Audi A3 is also outfitted with extensive safety countermeasures, such as blind area monitoring, lane control that is active, hands off handling and cruise control. Perks within its cabin include a moonroof that is powered, premium audio from Bang & Olufsen, parking sensors and leather seats.
Performance
Audi has become world famous for the performance of its vehicles, and the A3 doesn’t disappoint. It is equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 288 horsepower, that allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in under five seconds. The Cadillac CT4 answers with a turbo 4, 2.7 liter engine that can generate 310 horsepower with 350 pounds of torque.
The Bottom Line
Both of these cars are gorgeous, expensive, and fun to drive. However, the Cadillac CT4 has rear seats that are too tight, some find its look too conservative and dated, and the V Series is not as sporty as it could be, so the Audi A3 is the winner.
