2022 Audi A4 vs. 2022 Chrysler 300
The 2022 Chrysler 300 is an executive level automobile with a sophisticated appearance, dynamic V8 engine and excellent infotainment. But can it beat the 2022 Audi A4, a car praised for its sharp looks, slick handling and extensive tech?
Design & Style
The Audi A4 can be purchased as a sedan or wagon, and each is high tech with turbocharged performance. Its latest features for the year include standardized sport suspension for the A4 45 TSI, and those that want to do some off road driving will definitely want to purchase the A4 Allroad, as it has a chunkier appearance with all-wheel drive. Within the cabin occupants will use the high resolution touch screens for the majority of vehicular functions.
The 300 has become Chrysler’s primary sedan and is its most powerful. The powertrain is potent, but equally impressive is the ride quality. Occupants will sit in a spacious cabin with seats that provide wonderful back support. The trunk can hold a great deal of luggage and its engine is wedded to an automatic eight speed transmission. Its exterior features chunky sides and chiseled edges which remain unchanged since 2005 and have aged well.
Technology & Safety
This is where Chrysler falters, badly. The 300 has a lousy safety history, which is the result of its almost nonexistent crash prevention tech. Its emergency automated brakes do not come standard, and you’ll need to pay extra for the 300S or Touring L to get it, along with activated lane control and adapted cruise control. It only earned a 4 star NHTSA review, while the IIHS labeled its headlights poor. Amenities within its cabin include powered leather seats that can be heated or cooled, sunroof, the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and a 506 watt sound system.
The Audi A4 has earned a Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS along with a perfect five star review from the NHTSA. It is equipped with numerous crash prevention functions, much of which comes standard, like emergency automated brakes. It also has adapted cruise control with traffic light communication. Amenities inside its cabin include the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, ten inch touch display, powered seats that can be cooled or heated, and an audio system from Bang & Olufsen.
Performance
Those that purchase the Audi S4 will get a turbocharged V6 that can generate 349 horsepower, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 4.2 seconds. The Chrysler 300 has a V8 engine that can generate 363 horsepower which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in under 6 seconds.
The Bottom Line
The primary advantage that the Audi A4 has over the Chrysler is its safety features. The 300 is a complete and total failure safety wise, and this alone makes the A4 the winner.
