Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TFSI qu S-tronic vs BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 420i
17 Nov 2017  |  Audi Reviews
We pit the new Audi A5 Sportback against the updated BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe to find out which is the better, more modern executive five-door coupe.

Audi A5 Coupe 2.0 TFSI S-Tronic Sport
Sharper looks
More capable powertrain
More modern and plush interior
BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 420i Sport
Is more of a driver's car
Linear powertrain but lacks punch
Slightly aged compared to the Audi

Bumpy ride
Cramped interior
Lack of features
Dated design

Review
The 420i Sport uses a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 181bhp and 270Nm of torque. Been driving in for about a month now and feel that the car is decently powered. You can choose between 3 modes(Sport, comfort and eco). With sport mode the car is punchy and ready to go. With 5 years unlimited mileage warranty provided by PML it gives you the peace of mind.

Though with that sloping roof of the gran coupe, the taller ones may be a little uncomfortable at the back.

What I like
The engine performance
Rear wheel drive
The design of the gran coupe
Boot space is decent too

What I do not like
Price
Personally i feel that the interior is not as updated as the Audi A5 sportback.
