2022 Audi A5 vs. 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia
The 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia is a magnificent Italian car engineered with superior body work, a lavish interior and chassis which is sports tuned. But does it have what it takes to beat the 2022 Audi A5, a sleek and aerodynamic car with lightning acceleration, lots of cargo space and superb build quality?
Design & Style
The Audi A5 is a sophisticated car for serious drivers. While it is mechanically similar to its smaller sibling the A4 sedan, the A5 distinguishes itself with its sharp styling and the option of a 4 door Sportback or Cabriolet with a folding roof. The frame sits on nineteen inch wheels with an enhanced sport suspension and those that purchase the Black Optic package will get a dark and glossy cabin which looks absolutely dapper.
Visually, the Alfa Romeo Giulia manifests the panache that Italians have become famous for. It has rearview mirrors which dim automatically; the seats in the rear and front can be heated during winter and its cabin provides lots of space both for passengers and cargo. Those that purchase its Performance package will get an active suspension along with a limited slip style rear differential.
Technology & Style
The Alfa Romeo Giulia is outfitted with the car industry’s latest driver assistance gear, which includes cruise control that is adaptive, emergency automated brakes, multiple airbags, and automatic notifications when departing lanes. Luxuries within its cabin include nine inch touch displays, 3 USB ports, climate control, Bluetooth support, and built in navigation.
The Audi A5 has done an outstanding job on every crash test sent its way. It has LED style projector headlights in front with multiple airbags and has earned the prestigious Top Safety Pick from the IIHS along with a five star rating courtesy of the NHTSA. Luxuries within its cabin include ten inch touch displays, dual USB ports, climate control, Bluetooth, the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and a sound system from Bang & Olufsen which has nineteen speakers.
Performance
Those that purchase the Audi A5 V6 will get a dual turbo, 2.9 liter engine that can generate 450 horsepower with 442 pounds of torque which allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in an impressive 3.7 seconds. The Alfa Romeo Giulia is equipped with a 4 cylinder, turbocharged engine that is 2 liter and capable of generating 280 horsepower, enabling it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 5.5 seconds.
The Bottom Line
Everything that the Alfa Romeo Giulia does well, the Audi does better. The A5 has bigger touch screens, greater safety credentials, superior horsepower and 0 to 60 acceleration times, and this combined with Giulia’s skimpy storage bins and tight rear seat makes the Audi A5 the winner.
