2022 Audi A7 vs. 2022 BMW Z4
The 2022 Audi A7 is the brand’s flagship sedan, and has received praise for its fast yet quiet handling, spectacular cabin, and world class safety features. But how does it stack up against the 2022 BMW Z4, a vehicle that offers dual powertrains, a chassis that is well tuned and superb performance?
Design & Style
The BMW Z4’s engine is turbocharged and buyers get the option of a convertible. The cabin is upscale in every respect with rear wheel drive availability. Those that purchase the M Sport will get an advanced suspension which offers superior handling while making the exterior appear more aerodynamic. The frame sits on nineteen inch wheels with multiple drive modes such as Sport and Manual.
The Audi A7 has a fastback style which is very impressive. The cabin is airy, immaculate and packed with the latest technology, giving drivers unprecedented control. The frame sits on twenty one inch wheels and drivers will have access to a monitoring system for tire pressure along with navigation and ten inch touch displays. The Premium Plus edition is highly recommended due to its many features and design accents.
Technology & Safety
The Audi A7 is one of the safest cars on the road, incorporating technology such as night vision and stop and go. Other countermeasures include cruise control that is adaptive, lane management, airbags for the front and rear, frontal impact alerts, emergency automatic brakes and blind area monitoring. Comforts within its cabin include the choice of Android Auto or Apple Car Play, an audio system from Bang & Olufsen, panoramic sunroof, and climate control which covers three zones.
The BMW Z4 comes with most of the safety functions found in the Audi, such as blind area monitoring, cruise control which is active, the ability to detect pedestrians automatically, and frontal impact detection. Comforts within its cabin include ten inch displays, Bluetooth support, USB ports, voice command, satellite radio from SiriusXM, powered seats and climate control.
Performance
Those that purchase the BMW Z4 M40i will get an inline 6, dual turbocharged engine that is capable of generating 382 horsepower, that allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in around 3.8 seconds. Those that purchase the Audi A7 hybrid plugin will get a 2 liter, turbocharged engine that works with an electrical motor to generate 362 horsepower, enabling it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 4.7 seconds.
The Bottom Line
While both of these cars are fast, powerful and equipped with the latest safety tech, the BMW Z4 only seats 2 passengers while the Audi A7 seats 5 and this combined with the BMWs lack of an all-wheel drive makes Audi the winner.
