2021 Audi A4 vs. 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
What can car buyers in Eastchester New York expect from the Audi A4? Well, this car now comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay, lane departure warning, and the Quattro all-wheel drive. Its sedan engines are now more powerful with an extra 13 horsepower added to what its predecessor used to offer. As for the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, expect that the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and heated front seats are now standard.
Design & Style
The 2021 Audi A4 is gifted with five seats in its quiet cabin. These seats are supportive enough to give the comfort that the passengers need. Behind the seats is a space to carry occupants' suitcases. This measures 12 cubic feet and is considered just enough considering that the A4 is a luxury small car. There are plenty of upscale materials for its cabin. Some of them are the leather upholstery, aluminum trim, heated and eight-way power-adjustable front seats, as well as the ambient interior lighting.
The 2021 C-Class can seat four people in its coupe and cabriolet versions, while the sedan model can accommodate five. All seats are supportive and comfortable, but note that the rear seats can only carry average-sized adults. The convertible and coupe models have a tighter space at the back. There are plenty of high-quality materials in its stylish cabin, but not enough to topple down that of the A4's.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 A4 gets to offer an intuitive MMI infotainment system, which is paired with a reliable 10.1-inch touch screen. This one is tasked to do all functions for its wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, as well as its ten speakers, HD radio, Bluetooth, and two USB ports. Other standard features are the push-button start, remote keyless entry, sunroof, and tri-zone automatic climate control. All variants include the Audi Pre Sense City (forward collision warning with brake assist), LED headlights with automatic high beams, lane departure warning, and rearview camera.
When it comes to the C-Class' infotainment system, expect a solid one. It has a large 10.25-inch touch screen display, which is paired with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. It also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, HD radio, two USB ports, five speakers, and Wi-Fi hot spot. Note, however, that you may find it difficult navigating through these menus. Safety wise, it offers a rearview camera, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, pedestrian detection, and driver drowsiness monitoring.
Performance
Under the hood of the 2021 Audi A4 are different engine variations, depending on the variant that you choose. The base sedan carries a turbo-four, 2.0-liter engine that can generate up to 201 horsepower. Then there is an option to upgrade to the one that produces 261 horsepower. The most potent of all engines is found in the S4, a V6, 3.0-liter version that can ooze up to 349 horsepower. Meanwhile, the C-Class turbo-four version can yield up to 255 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Audi A4 knows how to impress its avid followers out there. Gifted with the solid construction, stylish interior, reliable technologies, and potent engines, this one will give the C-Class a run for its money.
