2022 Audi S3 vs. 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Top-level luxury sports sedans are now widely available, which makes it difficult to choose between so many models. But if you desire a tasteful, classy, and luxurious sports sedan that is worth the price you are paying, you should definitely consider the 2022 Audi S3. A fierce competitor of the S3 is the 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Which sedan should you choose? Here, we will do a breakdown of the most important aspects to help you make an informed decision.

Design & Style

As sports sedans, it is important for the S3 and Giulia Quadrifoglio to have sporty design features. In this aspect, the S3 is superior in that it has lowered side skirts and more active-looking bumpers than the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Besides the sporty exterior, the S3 also includes a spare tire that is space-saving that is not available on the Giulia Quadrifoglio. This makes it more convenient for the S3 driver to change a flat tire on the go whenever necessary. With the Giulia Quadrifoglio, however, one will have to rely on roadside assistance and towing services.

Technology & Safety

Having top-level safety technology in your luxury sedan should be of utmost priority. In this respect, the S3 is far more superior than the Giulia Quadrifoglio. For example, the S3 has seatbelts in the front and backseats that are height-adjustable to suit the needs of drivers and passengers with different heights. This is an important feature because it reduces the risk of injuries and does not daunt the passengers from buckling up.

Both the S3 and Giulia Quadrifoglio provide frontal, side-impact, knee, and head airbags to protect the driver and passengers in the event of a crash. However, only the S3 has a system in place to apply brakes during a crash to prevent even further crashes. This means that more injuries are possible if the Giulia Quadrifoglio gets into a crash.

Performance

When comparing the S3 and Giulia Quadrifoglio for their efficiency, handling response, and acceleration, we find that the S3 prevails in these aspects. This is due to the S3 weighing much lighter than the Giulia Quadrifoglio. The S3’s smaller size also makes it easier to operate, make sharper turns, and park in smaller spaces.

The Bottom Line

After evaluating the differences between the S3 and Giulia Quadrifoglio, we have found that the S3 is far more superior in its design and deluxe features. What strikes us as the winning factor is the safety technology in place that can protect the driver and passengers. Many of the safety technology that are available in the S3 cannot be found in the Giulia Quadrifoglio. As such, we highly recommend the S3.
