Let's talk about the price that everyone is most concerned about. The budget in the early 300,000 s can sell the mid-range version of two cars, but the terminal concessions of the 3 Series and A4L can be said to be polarized.
In contrast, it is not an exaggeration to say that Audi is a "price butcher". The average discount is more than 50,000, the entry-level version only needs more than 250,000, and the 40 TFSI quattro version of the four-wheel drive has a maximum of 300,000, which is cost-effective.
On the other hand, the price of BMW is relatively firm. The discount is only over 20,000, and in the early 300,000 s, only the firepower can be concentrated on the 325Li M sports version, and the selection range is relatively small. The 330Li xDrive version with top power is going to be close to the price of 400,000. So in terms of terminal price, BMW really can't compare with Audi.
2. Driving experience
When it comes to the old driver's favorite driving link, Audi A4L was synonymous with "golden mean" in the past. There is nothing wrong with it, but it is plain and doesn't impress you. However, after the mid-term change of A4L, the old driver's evaluation of it has always been sports and advanced, as if it were two "cars"!
The famous quattro four-wheel drive, if you don't know, you can watch the videos of all kinds of Audi cars moving on the slippery road in the snow. It used to be equipped on the cash 45TFSI, but now it is available on the 40TFSI. Under the four-wheel drive blessing, the chassis performance is described as "stable" in one word, and the cornering ability is excellent.
In addition, in daily driving, the quietness of the chassis is very good, and the sense of advanced is much better than before the change. In terms of power, the brand-new Golden Power 2.0 engine, code-named EA888, the high-power version on A4L, can explode 252 horsepower and accelerate for 6 seconds, which looks like a performance car.
Many people complain that the G-generation 3 series has become soft, but this one is still easy to open! It's just that the sports attribute is not as hard as the last one, the suspension is really soft, and the driver's favorite anti-roll bar is cancelled, but it is still very comfortable to drive, and the NVH performance in the car is better than that of the previous generation. With the 8AT gearbox, the shift becomes smoother, and even our Feng brothers call it the most comfortable 3 Series ever.
Of course, this does not mean that Series 3 has completely become a "grocery truck". If you want to stimulate, you can also turn off the DSC, that is, the electronic stability system of the car body, twist the direction greatly, and with the throttle, the car can still flick its tail. With the increase of the body roll angle, you will find that the suspension is flexible enough, that is, as the saying goes, "it can hold the body", which is a unique adjustment of BMW.
3. Internal and external comparison
If you like the sharp appearance of sports, then Audi A4L is definitely your dish. After the mid-term change, it was replaced by a larger hexagonal air intake grille with silver teeth on both sides below and irregular rectangular LED headlights. This is a proper performance car S4.
As for the interior, the overall layout of A4L is basically unchanged, but all LCD instruments are standard, and the central control screen is also increased to 10. 1 inch, which supports carplay. In addition, Alcantara leather can also be selected on the seats and door panels, and carbon fiber interior panels can also be selected for the center console, which makes the overall car feel very good.
After the replacement of the 3 series, it has changed from a chasing teenager to a reliable fashion youth, and the sense of luxury is obviously much better than that of the 3 series of the F generation. In terms of appearance, even if there is a sports kit appearance to choose from, the overall sports atmosphere is compromised, and the overall shape is no longer angular, but becomes more rounded and textured. Fortunately, the original factory also has obsidian night sets to choose from. If you match it with black car paint and a suitable Darth Vader style, you can still add a lot of points to the sense of sports.
The interior has always been BMW's weakness. The overall design shapes range from hundreds of thousands of 1 series to millions of 7 series, which are basically made of one mold, but the materials are not enough. However, the new 3 series is also breaking through itself. Full LCD instrument panel, large-size suspended central control panel, good sense of science and technology. The two-color interior and the "thong" steering wheel are full of fighting atmosphere.
