Performance and Power

Whether you're dropping a kid off at college in Hanover, NH or heading out for a day of errands and shopping in Plattsburgh, NY, the BMW 4 Series will help you get better gas mileage than the Audi A5. For example, the 4 Series coupe is rated for around 26 mpg in the city, 34 mpg on the highway, and 29 mpg combined. But the Audi A5 gets a rating of 24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. Similarly, the 4 Series convertible style also gets a better EPA fuel economy rating than the A5 convertible.

Nothing compares to the engineering and performance of the signature BMW M Line. Tuned to deliver exhilarating responsiveness at every turn, the M Line is in a class by itself, and it's available with the BMW 4 Series. Cranking out a robust 382 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, the top-of-the-line BMW M440i is an impressively crafted trim level that tops the maximum power output for the Audi A5, which reaches just 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.

Size and Interior Space

You and your passengers will be more comfortable in the BMW 4 Series than the Audi A5 as well. Regardless of whether you're taking an important client out to lunch or picking up a friend at the airport, the BMW 4 Series has more interior space and room to stretch out in than the A5. It starts on the outside, where the 4 Series measures wider, taller, and longer than the A5, and it continues on the interior, where the BMW tops the Audi in a few key areas. For example,:

• The BMW 4 Series coupe can hold 12 cubic feet of cargo in its trunk, compared to 10.9 cubic feet in the A5.
• The 4 Series also has more headroom and more legroom than the A5, especially in the front seat, regardless of which style you prefer.

Technology and Features

Starting right at the entry-level, base BMW 4 Series, drivers can also look forward to more standard amenities than they would get with the Audi A5. For example, every 4 Series comes with navigation and memory settings for the driver's seat. But these are not standard with the Audi model and, in fact, are only available on upper trims.

Not only does the BMW 4 Series have more standard features than the Audi A5, but it also has a wider variety of add-on options available across all trims. Drivers can pick from a menu of well-equipped, optional packages with the 4 Series, giving them the ability to customize across the lineup. But the A5 has fewer add-on options, and you'll have to move up in trims in order to find more of the features you're looking for.
