BMW 4 Series vs. Audi A5
Do you want an elevated driving experience as you navigate Rochester Hills? If so, you may be considering the 2023 BMW 4 Series or the 2022 Audi A5. Both models offer elegant interiors and impressive power.
To help you find the right luxury car to suit your unique lifestyle, our team here at BMW of Rochester Hills created this head-to-head comparison of the BMW 4 Series vs. Audi A5.
BMW 4 Series vs. Audi A5: Interior & Exterior features
The BMW 4 Series and the Audi A5 both offer a wide range of high-end amenities inside and out. Inside the cabin, they each feature timeless oak interior trims and ambient interior lighting that lets you set the mood on nighttime drives.
The BMW 4 Series also comes standard with rain-sensing windshield wipers. If you would like a similar feature in the Audi A5, you will need to upgrade to a higher trim level.
BMW 4 Series vs. Audi A5: Cargo Capacity
In addition to their fashion-forward interiors and sleek, sporty exteriors, you want a luxury car with space to stow your belongings, shopping bags, or luggage for a weekend getaway. Both models feature standard storage compartment packages to help you make the most of their interior spaces.
When it comes to cargo room, however, the Audi A5 offers 10.9 cubic feet, while the BMW 4 Series features 15.5 cubic feet. For those who want 4.5 cubic feet of additional cargo room, the BMW will be a better fit.
BMW 4 Series vs. Audi A5: Engine Options & Horsepower
In terms of performance, both the 2023 BMW 4 Series and the Audi A5 offer mild hybrid systems that effortlessly blend high-level performance with greater efficiency. Though the engine in the Audi A5 offers impressive acceleration, the BMW 4 Series ups the ante with two powerful engines and adrenaline-pumping horsepower:
 | BMW 4 Series | Audi A5 |
Engine Options | 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder 3.0L BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder | 2.0L Turbocharged 4-cylinder |

BMW 4 Series vs. Audi A5: Performance & Drive Modes
In the Audi A5, you will find a smooth 7-speed S tronic® dual-clutch automatic transmission.

This BMW coupe also features standard Driving Dynamics Control with:
- ECO PRO

The Audi A5 does not offer a Manual shift mode option or a comparable selection of drive modes like the BMW 4 Series. Drivers interested in this level of adaptability may find that BMW has more of what they want in a luxury car.

Both the BMW 4 Series and the Audi A5 each offer high-end amenities and various configurations with multiple options. When it comes to palpable performance and a larger cargo area, though, the BMW 4 Series outshines its Audi competitor.
