2022 Audi A5 Sportback vs. 2022 BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe
With the dependable and premium features that are classic in Audi luxury sedans, the 2022 Audi A5 Sportback is a combination of comfort and elegance. At the same time, the 2022 BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe is a strong competitor among sporty luxury cars. How do you choose which car to purchase? In this article, we have curated the most important features as the basis for comparison. Read on to understand why you should choose the A5 Sportback to get the most value out of your money.
Design & Style
You might be attracted to both models because of how their exterior designs deviate from the traditional sedan. These vehicles have a sloping roofline that adds on to the sporty look, and a hatchback-style that offers more rear cargo volume. To back up this sporty vibe, the A5 is equipped with impressive features such as dynamic turn signals that light up gradually. While this stylish feature comes standard in the A5, it is not available in the 4-Series Gran Coupe.
Inside the cars, you will also find a big difference in design. The A5 boasts of upholstery that are made of real leather whereas this premium feature is only available in the 4-Series Gran Coupe at an additional cost.
Technology & Safety
With pretensioners installed to tighten the seatbelts and reduce the pressure of seatbelts exerted on passengers in the event of a car accident, the A5 has an edge in safety over the 4-Series Gran Coupe. While this feature is available for both the front and back-seat belts in the A5, it is not offered for the back-seat belts in the 4-Series Gran Coupe. Furthermore, the A5 offers height-adjustable seatbelts in the front seats to provide better support for drivers and passengers of various heights while the 4-Series Gran Coupe does not. Better accommodation for height is important in car safety, especially in the event of an accident when other safety features such as airbags come into play.
Performance
Horsepower is one of the most important indicators of performance when you choose a car. While both models have the same horsepower of 248, the A5 is better because of its engine’s ability to generate more revolutions. This means that you can accelerate in a shorter time with the A5. In addition, the A5 comes standard with four-wheel drive which provides remarkable traction and control. To get this feature in the 4-Series Gran Coupe, one will have to pay extra.
The Bottom Line
Whether it is the design, safety, or performance, the A5 has a clear edge over the 4-Series Gran Coupe. If you were confused about whether the A5 Sportback or 4-Series Gran Coupe would be a better choice for you, we hope the comparisons above have made it clear that the A5 is the winner.
