2022 Audi A7 vs. 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS 400

Like most people, you like to keep up with all the latest trends and technologies out there. You want to make sure that you have the latest car, TV, smartphone, and everything else. But what about your car? Maybe it’s time to start looking into your next model and ensuring that it’s the best one possible for your needs and preferences. Let’s take a look at one of the hottest models on the market – the 2022 Audi A7 – and see how it stands out against one of its biggest competitors – the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS400.

Design & Style

Both of these cars are beautiful, but they’re very different in appearance. While the Audi takes after its younger brother—the 2017 Audi A8—with a similar grille and sleek aerodynamic looks, it also has hints of BMW’s 7 Series in its exterior design. The best part about all three of these cars is that they look completely different from each other, meaning that if you have one, people will immediately know it isn’t an older model that was redesigned for a new year. There is no set formula for design in automotive design, so it pays to be unique while still maintaining your brand image.

When it comes to comfort, these two cars come prepared to deliver. Both offer comfortable seating, air conditioning controls that are within easy reach, and armrests that can be adjusted to your needs. The difference here is that the 2022 Audi A7 has more advanced features like a built-in electronic control panel, power windows with auto up/down features, etc. This allows you more customization options than the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS400 offers you.

Technology & Safety

One of our favorite parts about the 2022 Audi A7 is its technological innovations, especially regarding safety features. While there are some great options in safety on the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS400, they aren’t quite as comprehensive or innovative as those on the 2022 Audi A7. With more airbags (all standard), ultra-precise parking assist feature, and new backup cameras, you can feel safe knowing that you and your passengers are covered in almost any driving situation with the 2022 Audi A7! 

Performance

Let’s start with engine power since people often look at first when making a new car purchase. Although these cars have about 600 horsepower on tap, the 2022 Audi A7 has the edge over the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS400 in terms of torque. Torque is what makes your car powerful and responsive; it’s what gives you that extra boost of energy when you need it most. The extra torque in the 2022 Audi A7 makes it feel like a bull charging forward, whereas, with Mercedes-Benz CLS400, it almost feels like two engines where one is trying to push forward while another keeps holding back.

The Bottom Line

If you have to pick just one vehicle from these two, it’s a tough call as both will give you everything you expect from a luxury sedan—and more. However, if we must pick one, we’d have to go with Audi because of its strong engine and exceptional handling capabilities that set it apart from other models in its category.
