2022 Audi A4 vs. 2022 Volkswagen Arteon
The 2022 Audi A4 impresses with its tech rich interior, slick handling and off-road performance. But how does it compare to the 2022 Volkswagen Arteon, a car with a formidable engine, wireless communications and a stylish presentation?
Design & Style
The Arteon is a large sedan with a liftback that provides plenty of cargo space. It uses a dual clutched gearbox that is seven speed and new features for this year include the Moonstone gray paint. LED strips can be seen in front which provide excellent vision at night and passengers within the cabin will be presented with eight inch touch displays. It has a sporty and sleek exterior and sits on twenty inch wheels that are black in color.
The Audi A4 is a sophisticated automobile, especially in the Premium Plus edition. This year its sports suspension has been standardized and the exterior lines are clean, crisp and conservative. At 30 mpg, its fuel economy is outstanding, which will appeal especially to those who live in regions where fuel prices are high. The cabin looks great in warmer hues and the dashboard is dominated by a touchscreen that is simple to learn and use.
Technology & Safety
The Audi A4 has received acclaim for its safety features, including a Top Safety Pick+ courtesy of the IIHS. The outward vision is superb and it comes complete with automated emergency brakes, cruise control that is adaptive, and even the ability to communicate directly with some traffic lights. Luxuries within its cabin consist of a sunroof, power adjustable leather seats which can be cooled or heated, a camera with surround view and climate control.
The Volkswagen Arteon has also captured the prestigious Top Safety Pick award, as it is outfitted with most of the features found in the Audi, including blind area monitoring, the ability to detect pedestrians and automated emergency brakes. Luxuries within its cabin include a camera with surround view, seats that can be power adjusted, digitized instrument cluster and premium audio.
Performance
Those that purchase the Volkswagen Arteon will get a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that is capable of generating 300 horsepower with 295 pounds of torque. This enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 6 seconds. Those that purchase the Audi S4 will get a turbo 6 engine that can generate 349 horsepower, with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 4.2 seconds.
The Bottom Line
Though the Audi A4 and Volkswagen Arteon are evenly matched when it comes to safety, the A4 surpasses the Arteon when it comes to performance, and this combined with the Volkswagen’s limited head room in back and frustrating touch controls makes the Audi A4 the winner.
