There’s a lot to be excited about in Audi’s all-star 2022 lineup.
If you’re in the market for a new luxury sedan, you’ve got plenty of options--especially as far as Audi is concerned.
Audi has a proud tradition of making the luxurious accessible and affordable without making any compromises on quality. Two vehicles in particular--the 2022 Audi A4 and the 2022 A5--have been captivating drivers by offering top-notch performance and plenty of sophisticated driver assistance features across a wide suite of customizable trim levels.
That said, both the A4 and A5 come with their own set of advantages and considerations, meaning that different drivers might see the best results from buying different vehicles. To that end, let’s take a look at the awesome features that these two cars offer so that you can pick which one is best for you!
The 2022 Audi A4 Is the Perfect Entry Point Into the World of Luxury Driving
If you’re new to the world of luxury cars, then the well-rounded 2022 A4 is an excellent entry point, delivering a vehicle that intuitively channels its sports sedan heritage into a top-notch driving experience.
On the technical side, drivers can look forward to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that pairs with a 12-volt hybrid system and an all-wheel drive. There are two visions of this engine, the 40 which produces 201 horsepower, whereas the higher-trim 45 cranks out an impressive 261. Either way, the result is a ride that’s precise, sporty, and responsive.
While the minimalist cabin of the 2022 A4 is light on frills, it delivers a focused driving experience that just oozes a unique air of sleek style. A recently redesigned driver’s terminal in particular means that the vehicle’s numerous functions are never more than a simple flick away, and it’s hard not to appreciate the difference versus a bulkier, noisier car.
The A4’s infotainment system is centered around a 10.1-inch touchscreen that allows for a variety of awesome functions. In addition to pairing with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, this system also offers built-in navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and built-in car wi-fi. At higher trims, the A4 comes with a Bang & Olufsen speaker system, which plays everything with concert quality sound.
Drivers get the full suite of the A4’s safety features at the Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels. These include blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. In addition, features such as lane-departure warnings and standard automated emergency braking come standard.
If You Want Raw Style, There’s No Substitute for the 2022 Audi A5
All craft, zero compromise. The 2022 Audi A5 comes in both coupe and convertible models, both of which deliver an unparalleled driving experience that feels intricately engineered to turn heads.
Both models are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 261 horsepower to a standard all-wheel drive. With a 0-60 mph time of just 5.0 seconds, you can get behind the wheel confident that you’ll be harnessing some of the mightiest engineering that Audi has to offer.
The Audi A5’s interior comfort does depend a bit on where you’re sitting. Drivers (and passengers in the front seat) can look forward to a spacious cabin that features multiple thoughtful details--such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and motorized seat belt arms. However, this comes at the expense of back seat passengers, who have to contend with a cramped (but still luxurious!) back seat.
On the infotainment side, drivers can look forward to a 10.1-inch floating touchscreen that pairs with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Cutting-edge navigation comes optional at higher levels, along with the previously mentioned 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.
Safety features like automated emergency braking and lane-departure warnings come standard in the 2022 Audi A5, while high-end safety features are present in higher trims. This includes the same blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control as the Audi A4.
Both of these cutting-edge cars offer a suite of unique advantages, meaning that there’s plenty to love for drivers of all walks (or drives) of life! If you’d like more help figuring out which one is the best new Audi car for you, then visit Bell Audi today to speak with one of our Audi experts!
