The 2022 Audi A4 dazzles with its turbo power, off-road capability and array of tech. But how does it compare to the 2022 Genesis G80, a sporty newcomer that has caught the attention of the auto industry due to its fabulous appearance, dual turbo performance and exceptional warranty?
Design & Style
The Genesis G80 is a moderately sized sedan that can seat 5 passengers. All-wheel drive has been standardized and within the cabin you’ll be presented with a 15 inch display. The exterior is artful, featuring a slingshot style grille with pronounced fenders that are bracketed by its LED strip headlights. The cabin is bright and covered in lovely wooden trim with a gleaming metallic finish and stitched leather upholstery.
The Audi A4 is a conservative sedan that also offers standardized all-wheel drive. Its height has been increased to boost its effectiveness off-road, and the exterior is covered in lines that are clean and crisp. The suspension is robust and the wheels are prominent, with a cabin that is rich in all sorts of technological gadgetry. Learning how to use it is a breeze and the cabin design is classy especially with the warmer gray and black hue.
Technology & Safety
The Audi A4 has captured the auto industry’s highest safety accolades, which are the IIHS Top Safety Pick and 5 stars NHTSA rating. Its countermeasures include traffic light communication (in select cities), automated emergency brakes, cruise control that is adaptive, multiple airbags and superb external vision. Luxuries within its cabin include leather seats which can be cooled, heated and power adjusted, sunroof, a camera with surround view, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and ten inch touch displays.
The Genesis G80 has also captured the Top Safety Pick and NHTSA 5 star rating. It has most of the same features, including blind area monitoring, high beam automated LED lights, lane control that is active, and automatic emergency brakes. However, because of its lower stance and taller sides, the rear vision is obstructed unless you use a camera, which is a nuisance. Luxuries within its cabin include voice commands, a rotary dial, climate control and powered seats that can be adjusted eighteen ways.
Performance
The Genesis G80 is equipped with a turbo 4, 2.5 liter engine that can generate 300 horsepower with the ability to blaze from zero to sixty in 7 seconds. Those that purchase the Audi S4 will get a V6 engine that is capable of generating 349 horsepower, with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 4.2 seconds.
The Bottom Line
The Audi A4 has a clear performance and off-road advantage over the Genesis, and this combined with the G80’s lackluster suspension and the fact you need cameras just to see in back due to obstructions makes the Audi A4 the winner.
