A4 vs 5 Series Gas Mileage  

An efficient adventure awaits in the 2019 A4 and 5 Series. The Audi car is good for an EPA-estimated 27 city/34 highway MPG.¹ You'll see incredibly efficient commutes with figures like that, whether your drive takes you down highways or crowded city streets.

The BMW puts out strong numbers, too. You'll see up to 24 city/34 highway MPG behind the wheel of the 5 Series. While that matches the A4 in highway mileage, it falls a bit short of the Audi when it comes to city MPG.

Keep in mind, too, that the 2019 Audi A4 and BMW 5 Series offer available all-wheel drive. These systems lower fuel economy ever so slightly, but they'll enhance your traction on wet or icy roads. In the Vermont winters, that capability may come in handy!

Your Infotainment Technology 

The Audi MMI® infotainment system and its BMW equivalent are top of the line. Both are standard with Bluetooth® connectivity, for easy hands-free calling and audio streaming on the go. You'll even get Apple CarPlay®, so you can use your favorite iPhone apps in the most intuitive way possible.

However, only the Audi A5 offers standard Android Auto™. This feature lets Android users in on the fun: They can access their messages, maps, and music just as easily as iPhone users. This is one feature that's lacking entirely in the 5 Series sedan.

Available premium audio systems, like the 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen® sound system with 3D sound in the Audi, will transform the way you hear your music. The Audi A4 and BMW 5 Series offer an incredible audio experience!

Deluxe Interior Features

You're in for a cozy experience in the 2019 A4 or 5 Series. Available heated and cooled seats will keep the cabin acclimated to your needs, no matter the weather outside. Plus, standard automatic climate control (dual-zone in the BMW, 3-zone in the Audi) adds to that cabin comfort.

One advantage to the Audi? Our A4 interior offers standard leather seats, available in rich shades of Atlas Beige, Nougat Brown, Rock Gray, and more. While the BMW offers leather seats on higher trim levels, imitation leather is standard on the base trim. It looks and feels nice, but it's a step below the authenticity of the Audi car.
