2020 Lexus RC vs. 2020 Audi A5
The 2020 Lexus RC is a sporty two-door sedan that offers a magnificent driving experience while retaining a refined look and feel. The car has a spacious cabin and a well-designed instrument panel that is designed for ease of use. The 2020 Lexus RC feels at home both in the racing tracks as well as on the highway.
The Audi A5 on the other hand is Audi’s attempt to create a luxurious sports car. While the 2020 Audi A5 delivers somewhat on the sporty performance, it is hard to describe it as a luxury car as it does not really match the standards of other cars in this category. Let us see how these two cars compare against each other.
Design & Style
The 2020 Lexus RC has a refined yet sporty look that ensures it will turn heads wherever it goes. The great looks extend to its comfortable cabin where the car features plush leather seats. The cabin is spacious and there is plenty of legroom for even the tallest of occupants. Finally, the exterior styling features sharp aggressive lines that add to the sporty feel of the RC.
The Audi A5 is styled in the same style theme that we have come to expect in all Audi cars. The A5 features a sloping rear and has all the looks of a sports car. The interior is designed to be functional rather than luxurious and in this, the A5 fails resoundingly against the Lexus RC. The rear seats are also lacking in headspace thanks largely to the body styling and the sloping coupe-look that the A5 sports.
Technology & Safety
When it comes to tech and safety features, the 2020 Lexus RC features 4G WIFI as well as smartphone connectivity in the form of Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa. The infotainment system is controlled by a seven-inch display unit that also used to manage the navigation system among other features.
The Audi A5 on the other hand comes with an array of features such as a 10-inch infotainment system as well as smartphone integration. A navigation system does not come as standard in the A5 but can be added as an option if the owner so desires.
Performance
The 2020 Lexus RC gets its power from a 6-cylinder engine that moves the car from zero to sixty in a blistering 5.7 seconds. The engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers a silky-smooth ride. As would be expected of a true sports car, the RC handles corners without much fuss and delivers a thrilling yet very comfortable ride.
The 2020 Audi A5 on the other hand features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that also provides plenty of power to this sports car. A seven-speed automatic transmission system controls the engine and also delivers a fairly good driving experience. The suspension system cancels out most of the road imperfections and the A5 handles fairly well around corners.
The Bottom Line
While there is a lot to like about both sports cars, the 2020 Lexus RC beats the 2020 Audi A5 when it comes to cabin space and comfort. For this critical reason, the RC wins this comparison with the A5.
