Compare the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe vs. the Audi A5

Dive in and Compare the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe vs. the Audi A5 Sportback

First introduced in 2013 as a two-door coupe or convertible car, the BMW 4 Series quickly became a favorite around here at The Automaster BMW in Shelburne. With the four-door, sedan-style, 4 Series Gran Coupe joining the collection just a few months later, the 4 Series quickly cemented itself as a high-end, versatile car that drivers could count on for personalized adventures and fun.

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is more than just another luxury sedan for Burlington and Williston drivers. It features a signature, sleek, coupe-like roofline, with the practical space and design of a four-door sedan. Unique and eye-catching, it offers unparalleled luxury and refinement. But it's not the only vehicle in its class to boast these same characteristics. To illustrate what sets it apart from the similarly designed and sized Audi A5 Sportback, we've put together this comparison page for your consideration.

Interior Space and Comfort

As a vehicle with a wider wheelbase and an exterior that measures both longer and taller than the competition, the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe also delivers an interior that is more spacious and comfortable than the Audi A5 Sportback. For example, slip inside the driver's seat of our BMW model, and you'll discover:

• More front seat headroom in the 4 Series Gran Coupe
• More front seat legroom in the BMW model
• A greater maximum cargo capacity of 45.9 cubic feet, compared to a max of 35 cubic feet for the A5 Sportback

Power and Performance

While both coupe-style sedans have two engine options for Stowe and Williston drivers to choose from, neither Audi A5 Sportback powertrain compares to the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe when it comes to overall power and output. For example,:

• The base powertrain for the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine. It produces a robust 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque and is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the Audi A5 base engine consists of a turbocharged four-cylinder as well, except here you can expect only 201 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque, and a seven-speed automatic transmission.
• Upgrade your 4 Series Gran Coupe with a higher power output by moving up to the optional, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-four, which delivers 382 horsepower, 369 pound-feet of torque, and comes with a 48-volt mild hybrid assist. Comparatively, the available upgrade for the A5 Sportback is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder which tops out at 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.

Plus, not only can you look forward to more power to get you from Hanover, NH to Plattsburgh, NY in comfort, but you can also expect more choice with the BMW model. You can get this car with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, depending on your personal preference. But the Audi has no options and comes strictly with all-wheel drive standard.

Standard and Optional Features

From tech to safety, BMW equips all of their new vehicles with the latest features and amenities that drivers want, and the 4 Series Gran Coupe has you covered. It has a long list of standard features, and it has several that you won't get standard with the Audi A5.

For example, where the BMW has a navigation system and satellite radio listed as standard equipment, the Audi A5 Sportback has both as options that you can only get by moving up in trim levels or adding on special packages. Additionally, on the safety front, the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe gets standard blind-spot monitoring, which is only available on upper trims for the Audi.
