A BMW vs. Audi Luxury Brand Comparison for Scranton, PA Shoppers

BMW and Audi are both respected car makers who do an outstanding job of combining luxury and performance. But BMW provides a higher level of performance across the board while also giving you an abundance of luxury. While Audi has an excellent all-wheel drive system, BMW has perfected its all-wheel drive technology while continuing to surpass Audi in other key areas. Here's an overview of BMW vs. Audi followed by a comparison of specific models so you can see why BMW is the better brand and worth shopping for at Tom Hesser BMW in Scranton, PA.

BMW vs. Audi: A comparison of performance

BMW consistently excels in the performance category, living up to its reputation as the Ultimate Driving Machine™. The strength of BMW's engineering is evident in its powerful, responsive engines, balanced chassis and capable handling. Models like the BMW M Series are the embodiment of high performance luxury. BMW's strength in rear-wheel drive and precise weight distribution gives you superior control and stability.

BMW vs. Audi:A comparison of reliability

Both BMW and Audi give you a new vehicle limited warranty that protects you for four years or 50,000 miles. But BMW has a decided reliability advantage over Audi. In fact, every BMW model recently received an above-average predicted reliability rating. The highest-rated BMW model was the 5 series while the 2 Series, the 4 Series, the X1 and X4 also earned high reliability scores. Audi's average predicted reliability score was considerably lower and the Audi brand had only an average overall score. Out of 12 Audi models, only three were above-average in terms of predicted reliability So BMW is clearly the better long-term investment.

BMW X3 vs. Audi Q5

The BMW X3 outperforms the Audi Q5 when it comes to powertrains starting with the X3's standard 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that gives you 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. That beats the Audi Q5's standard 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with only 201 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. In terms of interior features, the BMW X3 comes with a standard 12-speaker audio system compared with an audio system that has only 10 speakers in the Audi Q5. What's more, the BMW X3 has ten-way power adjustable front sport seats are better than the Q5's front bucket seats with only eight-way power adjustability.


 

BMW X7 vs. Audi Q7

The BMW X7 sets the bar higher in terms of performance than the Audi Q7. For example, the 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo gives you 375 horsepower, far more than the 261 horsepower in the Audi Q7's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. So it's not surprising that the BMW X7 can reach 60 mph in 5.8 seconds compared with 6.7 seconds in the Audi Q7. Both the BMW X7 and the Audi Q7 have Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ but the X7 gives you a larger standard 14.9-inch screen compared with the Q7 with only a 10.1-inch display.


 

BMW X1 vs. Audi Q3

The BMW X1 operates with a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine that generates 241 horsepower. That surpasses the Audi Q3 with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that generates only 228 horsepower. As a result, the BMW X1 has a zero-to-60-mph time of 6.2 seconds compared with 7.1 seconds for the Audi Q3.


 

BMW 3 Series vs Audi A4

The stylish BMW 3 Series sedan comes with a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine that generates 255 horsepower compared with only 201 horsepower in the Audi A4 sedan. What's more, the BMW 3 Series gives you 295 pound-feet of torque compared with only 236 pound-feet in the Audi A4. The BMW 3 Series has a massive 14.1-inch curved display that provides much better visibility than the 10.1-inch touchscreen in the Audi A4.


 

BMW iX EVs vs. Audi etron

At the base level, the BMW IX xDrive50 gives you 516 horsepower which is about the same as Audi's most high-performance e-tron model. The BMW then raises the bar even higher than the Audi etron with a 610-horsepower iX M60 engine. In addition, the BMW iX has more cargo capacity than the Audi etron, coming in at 77.9 cubic feet compared with only 56.4 cubic feet in the Audi Q8 etron.
