Luxury vehicles are an expensive purchase. As such you want to know you're getting the most for your money. And that's where we aim to help. We're looking at two popular luxury sedans, the Audi A5 and Genesis G70, to see which model is superior. Let's take a closer look.
Performance
Under the hood, the Audi A5 is powered by a 261-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Quattro all-wheel drive also comes standard for superior traction in all conditions.
The Genesis G70 puts up a valiant fight with its 252-hp turbocharged four-cylinder, available with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. However, rear-wheel drive is standard, with optional all-wheel drive. While both deliver spirited performances, the A5 edges out the competition.
Technology & Luxury Features
Inside, the Audi A5 comes with standard leather upholstery, heated front seats, and tri-zone automatic climate control. There's also a 14.5-inch touchscreen, navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a 10-speaker audio system.
The Genesis G70 puts up a good fight. It offers an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a six-speaker audio system. However, many desirable features like genuine leather and larger audio system require stepping up to higher trims.
Safety
You can drive with peace of mind in the Audi A5. It features adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, and a blind-spot warning system. The G7 has similar features, although it can't quite compare to the A5 setup, especially in higher trims.
Verdict
In this head-to-head matchup, the Audi A5 emerges victorious. With its pulse-pounding performance, sophisticated technology, and first-class luxury features, the A5 is the clear choice for discerning drivers. So, come experience the Audi A5 for yourself with a test drive and see why it's the superior luxury car.
