2020 Lexus IS vs. 2020 Audi A4
The 2020 Lexus IS is packed with safety and luxury features that make this car such a delight to drive. The IS has a spacious cabin with a generous provision for luggage in its trunk. The sporty styling as well as the luxurious cabin ensure that it will turn heads wherever you go.
When it comes to the Audi A4, buyers get a stylish sedan that is full of handy tech and safety features. Cabin size may be a problem, especially in the rear seat but all in all, the A4 offers an excellent driving experience. Here is everything you need to know about these two cars and how they compare against each other.
Design & Style
The 2020 Lexus IS is designed to stand out and this shows in how the exterior is sculptured. The bold aggressive curves as well as the flared wheel hubs give this car a sporty stance. The interior is beautiful as well with plush seats and an ergonomically designed instrument panel. Everything in this car looks and feels premium.
When it comes to the Audi A4, the styling is very similar to other Audi cars although this particular design scheme looks better on the A4 than on other bigger Audis such as the Q7. Space can be problematic in the rear section, especially for tall passengers. The interior design is very minimalistic as is the norm with Audi vehicles.
Technology & Safety
When it comes to the 2020 Lexus IS, there is plenty of tech and safety features that come as standard in this car. These include a 10-speaker audio system that is controlled by a 7-inch infotainment system. The system is easy to use even when cruising down the highway thanks to the large rotary dial that is easier to use than buttons and knobs.
When it comes to the 2020 Audi A4, tech and safety features come in the form of smartphone integration that includes Android and Apple compatibility. The A4 also includes USB charging ports although a navigation system is not included as standard.
Performance
The 2020 Lexus IS is powered by a V6 turbocharged engine that ensures the IS always has plenty of power when you press down the gas pedal. The engine is controlled by a 6- or 8-speed automatic transmission. The IS also has a sporty variant for those looking for a little more from their IS. It features a finely tuned suspension among other modifications.
The Audi A4 on the other hand has a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers about 200hp. This is sufficient power for most drivers and transmission is via a seven-speed automatic transmission that is pretty good. The car does feel a little sluggish at slower speeds and the suspension does not provide the ride quality that one would expect from an Audi model.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Lexus IS and the 2020 Audi A4 both have plenty to offer drivers. However, the IS edges out the A4 when it comes to ride quality and cabin space. For these reasons, the IS is the clear winner in this comparison.
