There is something about the displays in the Mercedes that is somehow impressive and detracting at the same time. Personally both cars are great, but just coming down to interaction points would make the difference for me. Interaction points and visual integration of the tech is better in the audi, while the Mercedes would probably be more stunning in a show room but more cumbersome in day to day use.
I recently purchased an A4 Sport line 45 and absolutely love it. Thomas nailed all of the best features in his review. Great combination of sport and comfort, direct driving feel, and tech that's easy to use.
I really like the MB, but the sheer amount of touch sensitive buttons for frequently used functions such as AC, seat controls etc. make no sense on the user-end, it sucks.
Wow, i'm thrilled with the way the vehicles are presented. Very good job Thomas, the details you present are very important for prospective buyers and are missing from other car tests.
Hey Thomas, I agree with you. I have a 2018 Audi A4 here in the US, and absolutely love the car. The style, precision in driving and ergonomics, and fit and finish are second to none. My friend has a Mercedes and my uncle has a BMW, and I've driven both, and I chose the Audi simply for the driving feel. Thank you for your insightful reviews and for proving my choice was correct! Keep up the great work!
I believe Mercedes made a mistake going all screen and capacitive buttons. Honda seems to have learned this and current new vehicles have the right mix of screens and physical buttons. Quality at Mercedes has suffered at the expense of style and bling.
Agree... except that there's more "bling" than "style" in both vehicles, and unfortunately doubly so in the new C-class. After the B6 generation of the A4 and the W203 generation of the Mercedes, all their style and elegance went downhill.
I drive a C class estate, and I don't see any downside for the bigass center screen. It's extremely handy for GPS navigation and for rear camera display, and if you don't feel like talking to your car, most of the control can be done through buttons on the steering wheel anyway. As for those saying that it won't age well, or will become junk, well it's been more than a year now, and it feels and looks as great as it did a year ago. So I understand that not everyone like this style, and that many prefer the designs of BMW, Audi or whatever, but as for the quality, it's there. Undeniably.
@@coyote6154 When the car is moving it is easier to feel switches and buttons but that is not the same with capacitance and touch screen controls. They are fine when you are sitting still but not when you are driving.
Thomas, really appreciate the level of detail and thorough test drives. I prefer the Audi for the driving dynamics and ergonomics, however I feel the exterior could use another refresh and hasn’t changed much over recent years.
Audi models just never disapoint, with every generations they become more beautiful, they stick to their style. Not the best in a class but sure they never look bad.
Audi's have always disappointed until very recently. The new RS3 is the new benchmark for Audi handling. This A4 clearly has decent steering feel and doesn't understeer as much as previous A4's. Traditionally Audi's have been front heavy with numb handling. They've always been screwed together brilliantly though.
@@LCOF and i never mention engine, steering.. As I said they are not best in the class, sure MB & BMW are better in most parts. I talked about design how they look, not their specifications.. You don’t need to shere informations like steering! It doesent match my comment. Seems like you dont like Audi.
Finally someone that lays it true instead of getting lulled by the s class design elements. The audi still feels better overall driving and material wise in the interior. It comes down to whether the driver wants the more connected feel of driving with the audi or if they prefer a more of car driving you around feeling of the merc. The only thing I don't like about the A4 is that the tablet design sticking out of the dashboard is a big no. I have the new A3 and I love it so much more for the interior tech design upgrades.
I bought a new S4 a couple months ago and very happy with my purchase. The small details are done better by Audi, than by MB and BMW. It sounds great, is the perfect balance of luxury and sport, and real exhaust pipes too.
As a pre-facelift 3 series driver, I have to agree with the current generation. I believe BMW had nailed it nearly perfectly with the G20/G21 input-wise. The facelift seems such a massive step backwards - I'm really disappointed in this and it's also really hard to comprehend the decision making process behind it. Audi seems to have the lead again in this regard regarding the climate controls, but it's again sad that the controls in the center are gone.
@@Chloiber I had been looking seriously at BMW, it was in fact, the car I really wanted. It’s difficult to top their straight 6…in fact, It cannot be topped. But there’s other parts of driving that matter beyond the engine. This Audi feels special every time I get in it, and quite frankly, the bmw didn’t feel special at all. A bonus is that I don’t see an S4 on every corner neither.
@@golfbuddy1969 don’t kid yourself a M340i is Miles better than a S4. Drives better, quicker, better infotainment with a idrive controller and interior quality touch points are softer.
@@johnguidetti5839 I drove one…more than one. It’s a great car. The best engine. But I don’t like the looks to be honest. I tried but I just don’t. It’s steering isn’t as good. Brake feel isn’t as good neither. Seats are way better in the Audi, with massage function and leather that doesn’t feel like plastic. BMW leather is an offense to anyone spending that much for a car. Plus, 3 series are on every corner, at every stoplight, and in every subdivision. Sorry, but wasn’t for me. I drive both and initially was looking for bmw, but it doesn’t feel special. The Audi feels special every time I get in it.
The suspension and wheel size makes a massive difference in refinement on the A4 I had a 2016 A4 3.0 tdi 272 s-line 19inch wheels you could always hear the tyres and the ride was firm. I'm now about to get 35 tsi technik with comfort dynamic suspension and 17 inch wheels it rides alot nicer and has next to no tyre noise.
Excellent detailed revue Thomas, I like your analysis. In the past I've had many Audi A4 and now I have a C class ( albeit a previous model) and I think you are spot-on. Like other people I don't like the change to total touch screens instead of simple buttons, they've all gone just too far. However the biggest issue for me here in the UK is that both Audi and Mercedes offer predominantly dismal black interiors. I prefer lighter interiors and these are just not available particularly on AMG models where Mercedes seems to think everyone wants 'boy-racer' black. £50,000 and I can only get black !
Totally agree, I'm sick of brands only offering black interiors here! Admitted they do sell the best, but luxury brands should be about choice. I'm ordering a company car soon and I'm thinking of going for a 'Sport Edition' A4 since it has the regular comfort suspension and you can spec a beige interior free of charge - go to S Line and you lose those!

Your point about the importance of steering feel at the 25:13 mark is exactly how I feel when comparing autos. And as a lifelong 3 series fan and owner, I am very disappointed that the 3 series is no longer the steering benchmark in the segment (but it used to be… across nearly all segments). I still like my F30 Sport Line, but I doubt my next car will be a BMW. An excellent comprehensive review as always!
3 Series never was been benchmark in the segment. Audi B8 has a lot better steering than E90 too. B6/B7 with servotronic again had better steering than E46. Nimble B5 with 260 cm short wheelbase has AGAIN better steering fell than E36. "benchmark of segment" is just internet myths and bs.
Wrong. Prior to the electrified steering F30, the 3-series was the definitive benchmark, not just with respect to steering but also overall agility, cornering, etc. Even since the F30 I’d still rather have that than an A4 but the difference is no longer that big.
Just bought the S-Line prestige and I attest, it drives phenomenal. You feel as if it’s gripping the road and you get crazy driving confidence. I’m fairly young (31) and the technology is just right. Anymore screen or larger screens, you lose my interest. I love the physical buttons and the interior is elegant yet, very luxurious. Now that being said, I think the Mercedes looks better on the outside. It’s more young, sporty and sexy. But when you buy an Audi, the decision comes with humility. The decision is to treat yourself and not others. Let’s just say the right people will be impressed.
Personally I prefer the Audi A4... I agree with you.... Very nice comparison... I currently own an A4 and in a couple days am trading it for a A5 Sportback... Really enjoyed my 2019 A4, terrific car... Thank you for this excellent video.... GG...IN... USA
Just wanted to say that I was looking at buying used cars and your older videos of A6, E-class and S90 helped me find my first car - a 2020 A6 Saloon. So these comparison videos are really useful.
You are absolutely bang on. Merc is looks, lux and that ambient lighting is next level. Audi is drive, suspension, comfort, no nonsense and simple interiors
Exterior, Audi all day long. Especially in Tango Red. Interior, looks wise, the MB takes it. BUT, the touchscreen to control everything and the capacitive buttons for windows, seats, ect would be maddening. Have to go Audi again. Build quality, hands down Audi. The question is, which will prove to be more reliable in the long run. Great review as usual Thomas!!
I love Thomas and the integrity he has to give a true critique. Yes Mercedes’ did decline. Yes the Audi clicks is symphonic! German is always quality over gimmicks. I believe the Audi demonstrates that more. Keep in mind I’ve owned only Mercedes’ for years. However I feel the A4 is more spiritually akin to the w201 and w202 than the new c class.
Mercedes and BMW are giving heavier preference to the Eastern markets than Audi are. I don't know how the 3 brands do fare commercially in the East (China firstly). Audi are keeping more faithful to the history of European, and German, car-making. I don't think this bet on genuine identity will be a mistake, I think it's the best bet to make.
I'm a few months late but my 2 cents: I have had the 2022 Mercedes C300 since August 2022 (I ordered it in August 2021!) and would return it tomorrow if I could (mine is the mid-level trim package, 3-year lease). All of the touch controls and software are super glitchy and the braking is an abomination. The squishy pedal feel when applying brake pressure is the worst experience I have ever had and totally disconcerting. If this is attributable to the regenerative braking caused as a result of the mild hybrid engine, hard to believe that Mercedes engineers could not figure out how to make the brakes better. For the brake problem alone, I would not recommend this car. The glitchy software and touch controls along with the extended MBUX system learning curve seal the deal: do not buy (or lease). I am unfamiliar with the Audi A4 but I enjoyed this comparison review very much. I do love watching videos of the excessive speeds achieved on the Autobahn (I especially love the reviewers driving one handed). For me: I live on Long Island in New York and for anyone whose driven on the Long Island Expressway (along with many other Long Island roads built in the 1930s) watching these videos is a fantasy.
C300 Rwd with amg line package is the best choice of new C class,because AMG Line package - which brings a number of visual tweaks in addition to a 15mm drop in ride height, upgraded brakes, and retuned steering😊
Audi A4 has always been the least desirable of the German trios. 3 series, c class, audi A4. Audi has one last chance with the next audi a4 generation but very difficult with how good the c class and 3 series look currently.
I received for a several days business trip a similar A4 (from the rental company) and I was a bit dissapointed, doesn't feel so expensive as the price tag shows. After a cople of weeks I received also an almost similar Mercedes (C300 4matic, only AMG line) and I realised that actually A4 was not so bad.
The most recent generation of MB's interiors are gimmicky. In particular, from "less is more" stand point of view, I would assign a grade of F to them. MB should work on learning what to reduce, what to remove, and what to focus on. In this regard, Audi is clear the winner. Thank you, Thomas, for a great review.
Ich hatte den A4 mit dem 2. Facelift als “Design” paket. War ein schönes Auto. Danach hab ich mir die neue C-Klasse in 4Matic gekauft. Es sind Welten, verschiedene Welten. Klar hat auch der A4 seine gute Seiten gehabt. Die Laufruhe, die Daempfung usw waren super. Aber die C-Klasse ist mir mehr als Herz gewachsen. Waere es keine C-Klasse gewesen, war die andere alternative 3’er oder 5’er BMW gewesen. Alles sehr gute Marken finde ich
Good review. Suggestion: same color makes it better for viewers to see the lines clearer and the decision of which car fits them. Regardless thorough review. Good job.
Nice comparison but I disagree on the ride comfort settings. I like it how there is a big difference between comfort and sport in the C class. If you want constant balance there is no point in having the different dynamic options to select.
Nice video as usual. I just sold my A5 for a C-class. The A5 (A4) interior is getting old and needs a refresh. This interior is over 7 years old with hardly a change apart from the loss of a rotary control wheel. I loved it, but so much prefer the new C-Class interior. THe A4's age is why there are still manual buttons, I suspect the next version will be more touch based.
Nice review Thomas. I just ordered an A4 40 TDI Quattro Ultra. Why? Best sport seats (leather) comfort wise, best suspension (sport adaptive dampers) and last but not least best steering feel, exactly as you described. Though there is no more dynamic steering, but the standard one is fine as well. Beyond that, it has far less weight than the competitors, even with AWD. I had also an G20 for 6 months, but the steering is really annoying, even after professional alignment you need corrections constantly while drivng straight ahead - this is a mess and not only with my G20. I tested several ones in order to buy one, but I simply can't get used to it. The same is with the Z4 G29 - strange center steering at all. The new C-Class is out of scope: to expensive, too heavy and the look and feel is somewhat strange by itself and feels cheap (like VW and Audi do with their new series).
Somehow a4 looks next to the new c class so much smaller. In my view a4 desperately needs a successor, those body lines no matter how many face lifts Audi will do, look outdated.
im surprised about the air vent knobs being misplaced aswell. hopefully mercedes fixes this issue in production. but mercedes really nailed the visuals - audi looks 10 years older in comparison, especially inside.
This. I love the quality and such of the A4. But man it looks so dated to me. The inside is horrible. A premium...audi, as this youtuber reminds us, should not have such a dated looking interior. Audi can definitely do better
Great review. I prefer the MB digital screens. This is the future and MB are aiming at the younger generation who are used to this type of tech - ie mobile phones etc. The Audi tech looks dated but is nice. It’s the MB for me.
The A4 engine unit hangs on the nose of the vehicle and therefore the weight of the car is gathered at the front. The 3er and C Class therefore always have superior driving capabilities than the A4. Because they are naturally more balanced.
I love the new Mercedes instrument/dashboard design but it looks the best on the c class, the e and s class have on the passenger side that weird empty chunk of plastic surface, am I the only one who sees it that way? On the EQS and SQS you can at least „fix“ that by getting the hyperscreen, but that comes with its own set of issues.
The passenger side of this is also just trim so 🤷🏼♂️ but I do agree the tablet fits best in c class personally I think it looks the worst in the new SL just doesn’t fit the shape of the dash imo 😢
Mercedes is just more comfortable and relaxing. I drove the A4 and A6 but the c class is another level in therms of comfort. Also BMW is more comfortable than Audi. And fuel economy is better with Mercedes and BMW.
I’ve had Audis since 1984. I’ve looked at MB but upstairs prefer Audis. They just seem to always suit me, or I’m just too invested in Audis and can’t drive anything else.
I can see why you have been driving Audis for so long! I'm 38, own a 2017 Audi A4. I love the ride, my friend loves it. He's seen my father's Q5 and he would buy either one if my father or me were selling. My buddy actually was going to get an S4 in 2015 but decided not to because of a blown head gasket. Audis just look so nice and are fun to drive.
@@animeman197I can not confirm this. Just recently was driving a Q3, a monster version of it. The gas pedal was soft as hot butter. I mean that as a negative. While I adore the gas pedal of my c class. Stuff like that really matters to me
I work for a dealer's auction in Mobile, AL USA. I've had the privilege of driving them both. I do not like the seat controls on the door nor the vents & the large screen in the Benz. The seat of the Audi first me like a glove, the steering wheel is just fabulous & the smooth ride of the A4 is impeccable. After driving Alfas, BMWs, VWs, Benz & Audi of all types I am awaiting financing for a 2015 A4 premium plus. Mint condition with the walnut interior. I fell in absolute love with this car, & tracked down the dealer who purchased it. So impressive. ❤️
When you borrow these cars from the dealerships you should take the time to go thru the technology with the personal there. To have the panoramic roof or screen to open you just use the MBUX system and say (Hey Merecedes) open/close the roof or screen. The system will cut on the heat for the car and heated seats, control temp of the car and seats, control the radio stations/volume and more all you have to do is ask.
I had a c300. It was my first German car and I LOVED it. I’ve thought about getting another, but now I’m interested in Audi. Am I going to miss the interior of the C class?
This is the best comparison of Audi vs. Mercedes entry level luxury sedan reviews possible. Here is my problem. I will be entering this market during the spring time of 2023. I am convinced that Audi fits best for me. However in my location there is a Mercedes dealership. The closest Audi dealership is a two hour drive away. I would prefer the Audi, but for convenience and service requirements Mercedes is right here. What should I do?
uh thats indeed tough. Well I think it depends, e.g. in Germany you can also keep up your warranty with servicing your car at a free dealer. How is it in your market?
@@autogefuehl we can have ordinary services done anywhere without affecting warranty. But if I do have a warranty problem such as an electrics issue I would have to pay to have it fixed locally or have it transported to a dealer via truck.
Mercedes looks fancy but feels cheap in real life. Fitting the interiors with aliexpress led lights and cheap screens is a way to distract the buyer and make him feel like he is sitting in modern luxurious car. The robustness old Mercedes had is no longer there.
@@DnBDubstepManiak1 Cause I care more about having fun instead of trying to show off. I don't need to feel accepted. Either way a Mini JCW 3 door is 44k in my country and I could have bought a shitty A Class A250 for the same price. 44k for a sub compact 3 door car is not cheap. I just like Mini and I dont need to buy premium cars to show off even tho Mini sits between premium and generalist. You can't accept Mercedes nowadays makes crap compared to Mercedes from the 90's. My Mini weights 1250kg and has close to 300hp (stage 1). I destroy a crappy A250 that weights 1500kg easily. Also Mercedes nowadays are driven by moroccans and wannabe rappers which get a 10 year loan to pay off for their crappy car. I paid in cash and I forgot about it cause I plan to keep it for a long time and have it as a second car in the near future.
@@PaulTC97 well said that man. In the uk mercs are driven by 5 ft 2 inch tall aggressive bangladeshi men with stenciled beards who also have a 10 year loan to pay their shitty cars.
What seems crazy to me is how interactive those screens are. How is that any different from being on your phone? I think physical dials are so much safer and I personally prefer them. It looks very nice though.
Great honest review. Audi is simply exceptional. Any car manufacturer can put a screen and lights these days...nothing special about those chunky screens and lights in the Benz. It just makes it look like it's trying too hard. It's a shame the C-class is more like a woman's car...focused on a lot of fanciful superficial stuff.
Nice comparison. I don't understand why the 6 cylinder engine is not available on the A4 in the US (is only available with the S4; A4's only get 40/45 TFSI I4's with on-demand Quattro)

I can agree that comfort of the seats in Audi is spectacular. I drove over 1500 km at once with short breaks and came out from my Q5 relaxed!
Thomas, really appreciate the level of detail and thorough test drives. I prefer the Audi for the driving dynamics and ergonomics, however I feel the exterior could use another refresh and hasn’t changed much over recent years.
Thanks m8!
Lol i never expected someone would ever say audi drives dynamic. Front wheel drive and dynamic care to explain?
@@Doa744 he said what he said
If you want driving dynamics, go for a BMW, Jaguar or Alfa Romeo.
Audi models just never disapoint, with every generations they become more beautiful, they stick to their style. Not the best in a class but sure they never look bad.
Audi's have always disappointed until very recently. The new RS3 is the new benchmark for Audi handling. This A4 clearly has decent steering feel and doesn't understeer as much as previous A4's. Traditionally Audi's have been front heavy with numb handling. They've always been screwed together brilliantly though.
@@LCOF and i never mention engine, steering.. As I said they are not best in the class, sure MB & BMW are better in most parts. I talked about design how they look, not their specifications.. You don’t need to shere informations like steering! It doesent match my comment. Seems like you dont like Audi.
Front lamps make this model look class lower in comparision with previous version.
@@hiamaraldvaan7221 idk, i like more restyle version..
@@drivetime6858 all look great, i dont like only those front lamps
You couldn’t have said it better: The A4 is the pinnacle of Bauhaus design. Everything is simple and oozes quality.
👌
Finally someone that lays it true instead of getting lulled by the s class design elements. The audi still feels better overall driving and material wise in the interior. It comes down to whether the driver wants the more connected feel of driving with the audi or if they prefer a more of car driving you around feeling of the merc. The only thing I don't like about the A4 is that the tablet design sticking out of the dashboard is a big no. I have the new A3 and I love it so much more for the interior tech design upgrades.
👍
Getting new 2023 Audi A4 in two days.. my 2017 A4 was great! TY for finally making reliable cars.
Always the best reviews on RUclips! Thank you Sir. You are the reason I purchased a B9 Audi A4 and still enjoying the “analog” drive!
Cheers! And congratulations 😎
You get the Audi A4 if you want a great car. You get the C-class if you want a Mercedes. If I can only pick 1, it's going to be the A4.
mercedes and their disco interior...
Bmw and their piggy noses…
I bought a new S4 a couple months ago and very happy with my purchase. The small details are done better by Audi, than by MB and BMW. It sounds great, is the perfect balance of luxury and sport, and real exhaust pipes too.
Great car. Congrats!
As a pre-facelift 3 series driver, I have to agree with the current generation. I believe BMW had nailed it nearly perfectly with the G20/G21 input-wise. The facelift seems such a massive step backwards - I'm really disappointed in this and it's also really hard to comprehend the decision making process behind it. Audi seems to have the lead again in this regard regarding the climate controls, but it's again sad that the controls in the center are gone.
@@Chloiber I had been looking seriously at BMW, it was in fact, the car I really wanted. It’s difficult to top their straight 6…in fact, It cannot be topped. But there’s other parts of driving that matter beyond the engine. This Audi feels special every time I get in it, and quite frankly, the bmw didn’t feel special at all. A bonus is that I don’t see an S4 on every corner neither.
@@golfbuddy1969 don’t kid yourself a M340i is Miles better than a S4. Drives better, quicker, better infotainment with a idrive controller and interior quality touch points are softer.
@@johnguidetti5839 I drove one…more than one. It’s a great car. The best engine. But I don’t like the looks to be honest. I tried but I just don’t. It’s steering isn’t as good. Brake feel isn’t as good neither. Seats are way better in the Audi, with massage function and leather that doesn’t feel like plastic. BMW leather is an offense to anyone spending that much for a car. Plus, 3 series are on every corner, at every stoplight, and in every subdivision. Sorry, but wasn’t for me. I drive both and initially was looking for bmw, but it doesn’t feel special. The Audi feels special every time I get in it.
The suspension and wheel size makes a massive difference in refinement on the A4 I had a 2016 A4 3.0 tdi 272 s-line 19inch wheels you could always hear the tyres and the ride was firm. I'm now about to get 35 tsi technik with comfort dynamic suspension and 17 inch wheels it rides alot nicer and has next to no tyre noise.
Excellent detailed revue Thomas, I like your analysis. In the past I've had many Audi A4 and now I have a C class ( albeit a previous model) and I think you are spot-on. Like other people I don't like the change to total touch screens instead of simple buttons, they've all gone just too far. However the biggest issue for me here in the UK is that both Audi and Mercedes offer predominantly dismal black interiors. I prefer lighter interiors and these are just not available particularly on AMG models where Mercedes seems to think everyone wants 'boy-racer' black. £50,000 and I can only get black !
Good point my friend!
Totally agree, I'm sick of brands only offering black interiors here! Admitted they do sell the best, but luxury brands should be about choice. I'm ordering a company car soon and I'm thinking of going for a 'Sport Edition' A4 since it has the regular comfort suspension and you can spec a beige interior free of charge - go to S Line and you lose those!

Your point about the importance of steering feel at the 25:13 mark is exactly how I feel when comparing autos. And as a lifelong 3 series fan and owner, I am very disappointed that the 3 series is no longer the steering benchmark in the segment (but it used to be… across nearly all segments). I still like my F30 Sport Line, but I doubt my next car will be a BMW.
An excellent comprehensive review as always!
Cheers and agree!!
Is the audi a4 the new benchmark in this segment ?
3 Series never was been benchmark in the segment. Audi B8 has a lot better steering than E90 too. B6/B7 with servotronic again had better steering than E46. Nimble B5 with 260 cm short wheelbase has AGAIN better steering fell than E36. "benchmark of segment" is just internet myths and bs.
Wrong. Prior to the electrified steering F30, the 3-series was the definitive benchmark, not just with respect to steering but also overall agility, cornering, etc. Even since the F30 I’d still rather have that than an A4 but the difference is no longer that big.
@@mbojilov1 F30 is a lot newer car than old 2007 B8. B8 is E90 era.
Just bought the S-Line prestige and I attest, it drives phenomenal. You feel as if it’s gripping the road and you get crazy driving confidence. I’m fairly young (31) and the technology is just right. Anymore screen or larger screens, you lose my interest. I love the physical buttons and the interior is elegant yet, very luxurious. Now that being said, I think the Mercedes looks better on the outside. It’s more young, sporty and sexy. But when you buy an Audi, the decision comes with humility. The decision is to treat yourself and not others. Let’s just say the right people will be impressed.
Thanks for the feedback!
Still happy with it? What engine and is it quattro and if yes, what gearbox please if automatic? Thanks.
Quattro, Automatic, Inline 4 and runs 0-100 in 5.2 seconds. Every moment I sit in it, makes me happy. I love my car

Personally I prefer the Audi A4... I agree with you.... Very nice comparison... I currently own an A4 and in a couple days am trading it for a A5 Sportback... Really enjoyed my 2019 A4, terrific car... Thank you for this excellent video.... GG...IN... USA
thanks and keep following :)
Just wanted to say that I was looking at buying used cars and your older videos of A6, E-class and S90 helped me find my first car - a 2020 A6 Saloon. So these comparison videos are really useful.
Real exhausts, real buttons, sharper styling, Audi all day long Thomas 👌. Tip Top yet again 👍. Regards
Audi ❤
audi wins just by having physical buttons, I cannot stand that dumb TV in the new mercedes interior, I can't express how much I hate this trend.
Cars without volume knob are a no go for me.
Although I've never gone over 120km/h in my life, I still really enjoy watching these Autobahn rides!
😎
You are absolutely bang on. Merc is looks, lux and that ambient lighting is next level. Audi is drive, suspension, comfort, no nonsense and simple interiors
Thomas you are brilliant. Love your honesty and great eyes for detail. Thanks
🙏🙏
Agree with your choice completely! I am an Audi guy and they never disappoint! Great channel and reviews.
Exterior, Audi all day long. Especially in Tango Red. Interior, looks wise, the MB takes it. BUT, the touchscreen to control everything and the capacitive buttons for windows, seats, ect would be maddening. Have to go Audi again. Build quality, hands down Audi. The question is, which will prove to be more reliable in the long run. Great review as usual Thomas!!
I love Thomas and the integrity he has to give a true critique. Yes Mercedes’ did decline. Yes the Audi clicks is symphonic! German is always quality over gimmicks. I believe the Audi demonstrates that more. Keep in mind I’ve owned only Mercedes’ for years. However I feel the A4 is more spiritually akin to the w201 and w202 than the new c class.
🙏🙏
Mercedes and BMW are giving heavier preference to the Eastern markets than Audi are. I don't know how the 3 brands do fare commercially in the East (China firstly). Audi are keeping more faithful to the history of European, and German, car-making. I don't think this bet on genuine identity will be a mistake, I think it's the best bet to make.
Damn, I wanted this alongside bmw 330i as well
How about the Italian Gulia as well?
Bought a 2022 A4 2.0T TFSI 4 days ago and literally everything you said is so spot on. Loved the video. Great review of both!
I'm a few months late but my 2 cents: I have had the 2022 Mercedes C300 since August 2022 (I ordered it in August 2021!) and would return it tomorrow if I could (mine is the mid-level trim package, 3-year lease). All of the touch controls and software are super glitchy and the braking is an abomination. The squishy pedal feel when applying brake pressure is the worst experience I have ever had and totally disconcerting. If this is attributable to the regenerative braking caused as a result of the mild hybrid engine, hard to believe that Mercedes engineers could not figure out how to make the brakes better. For the brake problem alone, I would not recommend this car. The glitchy software and touch controls along with the extended MBUX system learning curve seal the deal: do not buy (or lease). I am unfamiliar with the Audi A4 but I enjoyed this comparison review very much. I do love watching videos of the excessive speeds achieved on the Autobahn (I especially love the reviewers driving one handed). For me: I live on Long Island in New York and for anyone whose driven on the Long Island Expressway (along with many other Long Island roads built in the 1930s) watching these videos is a fantasy.
Cheers m8!
Fantastic detail in ypur review as always!! I would prefer the Audi too, even though the shape if the C Class is very appealing...
Thanks 🙏
C300 Rwd with amg line package is the best choice of new C class,because AMG Line package - which brings a number of visual tweaks in addition to a 15mm drop in ride height, upgraded brakes, and retuned steering😊
Audi A4 has always been the least desirable of the German trios. 3 series, c class, audi A4. Audi has one last chance with the next audi a4 generation but very difficult with how good the c class and 3 series look currently.
I received for a several days business trip a similar A4 (from the rental company) and I was a bit dissapointed, doesn't feel so expensive as the price tag shows. After a cople of weeks I received also an almost similar Mercedes (C300 4matic, only AMG line) and I realised that actually A4 was not so bad.
Thanks for the feedback!
Was it an A4 45 or 40?
seems like mercedes lost the fight as soon as you noticed that the vents arent straight..😂loved this review... you have gained a subscriber in me.
Welcome 🤗
Hi Thomas, please do a comparison review like this one for Audi A4 vs BMW 3 series, it will be much apprieciated.
this reviewer is very unbiased..... Probably the only reviewer i have seen that would go with this old audi A4 instead of flashy C-class.
🙏👍 please recommend our channel 🤗
Give me the c-class front and back with the side profile of the a4!
Great review
Thx for your quality review again. It happens to be the case I am awaiting my A4 avant s-line to be delivered in a couple of days😀
Enjoy 😊
32:36 The truck driver is filming a truck review 😅
The most recent generation of MB's interiors are gimmicky. In particular, from "less is more" stand point of view, I would assign a grade of F to them. MB should work on learning what to reduce, what to remove, and what to focus on. In this regard, Audi is clear the winner. Thank you, Thomas, for a great review.
They seem to be catering to more middle-eastern/eastern audiences, where "more is more"
for years I couldn't stand the glare bouncing off all the MB glossy piano black and chrome trim interiors!
As much as I like the C-Class, I'd choose the A4, primarily due to the ease of operation; analog.
Ich hatte den A4 mit dem 2. Facelift als “Design” paket. War ein schönes Auto. Danach hab ich mir die neue C-Klasse in 4Matic gekauft. Es sind Welten, verschiedene Welten. Klar hat auch der A4 seine gute Seiten gehabt. Die Laufruhe, die Daempfung usw waren super. Aber die C-Klasse ist mir mehr als Herz gewachsen. Waere es keine C-Klasse gewesen, war die andere alternative 3’er oder 5’er BMW gewesen. Alles sehr gute Marken finde ich
Convinced Audi all the way. Thank you Thomas, for always giving us unbuyased n detailed information on your reviews. 🙏 💯
🤗
Oh, the analogue nature is what I like as well. I looked at a Tesla once, and just don’t like having to go through menus for some things.
You're one of the best car RUclipsrs.
thanks!! Please recommend =)
Good review. Suggestion: same color makes it better for viewers to see the lines clearer and the decision of which car fits them. Regardless thorough review. Good job.
Thanks 🙏 but it’s harder to differentiate the cars then 😅
Excellent presentation skills!!
highly appreciated !
Nice comparison but I disagree on the ride comfort settings. I like it how there is a big difference between comfort and sport in the C class. If you want constant balance there is no point in having the different dynamic options to select.
Thanks for the feedback!
I agree with you on that. Sporty is sportier (rougher), comfort is more on-the-clouds like (comfortier, let's say).
MB for me, love my C43!
Nice video as usual. I just sold my A5 for a C-class. The A5 (A4) interior is getting old and needs a refresh. This interior is over 7 years old with hardly a change apart from the loss of a rotary control wheel. I loved it, but so much prefer the new C-Class interior.
THe A4's age is why there are still manual buttons, I suspect the next version will be more touch based.
cheers!
Excellent comparasion with a lot of details good&bad 💯👌 such a rare approach and honestly review!
🙏🙏
Nice review Thomas. I just ordered an A4 40 TDI Quattro Ultra. Why? Best sport seats (leather) comfort wise, best suspension (sport adaptive dampers) and last but not least best steering feel, exactly as you described. Though there is no more dynamic steering, but the standard one is fine as well. Beyond that, it has far less weight than the competitors, even with AWD. I had also an G20 for 6 months, but the steering is really annoying, even after professional alignment you need corrections constantly while drivng straight ahead - this is a mess and not only with my G20. I tested several ones in order to buy one, but I simply can't get used to it. The same is with the Z4 G29 - strange center steering at all. The new C-Class is out of scope: to expensive, too heavy and the look and feel is somewhat strange by itself and feels cheap (like VW and Audi do with their new series).
Idk why but i’d pick Audi everytime.
Somehow a4 looks next to the new c class so much smaller. In my view a4 desperately needs a successor, those body lines no matter how many face lifts Audi will do, look outdated.
Thanks for your efforts, you always do great things...شكرا على مجهوداتك دائما تقدم اشياء رائعه
very relevant comparison! excellent details and observations.
👍👍👍
I really enjoy the interior on the A4
I really love how MB stick to the skeumorphic design. I am tired of everything going with flat generic design.
im surprised about the air vent knobs being misplaced aswell. hopefully mercedes fixes this issue in production. but mercedes really nailed the visuals - audi looks 10 years older in comparison, especially inside.
This. I love the quality and such of the A4. But man it looks so dated to me. The inside is horrible. A premium...audi, as this youtuber reminds us, should not have such a dated looking interior. Audi can definitely do better
You are a very good videographer.🤗❤
90s kid so I love the more angular lined car :p A4 for me
Great review. I prefer the MB digital screens. This is the future and MB are aiming at the younger generation who are used to this type of tech - ie mobile phones etc. The Audi tech looks dated but is nice. It’s the MB for me.
thanks stay with us :)
nice review
Thanks 🙏
Nice and detail review I have ever viewed... great job sir
thanks! Feel free to recommend our channel :-)
The A4 engine unit hangs on the nose of the vehicle and therefore the weight of the car is gathered at the front. The 3er and C Class therefore always have superior driving capabilities than the A4. Because they are naturally more balanced.
Nice! Keep up the good work 👌
thanks feel free to recommend !=)
I love the new Mercedes instrument/dashboard design but it looks the best on the c class, the e and s class have on the passenger side that weird empty chunk of plastic surface, am I the only one who sees it that way? On the EQS and SQS you can at least „fix“ that by getting the hyperscreen, but that comes with its own set of issues.
Hyperscreen is pure ugly, it's like trying to be Tesla but shittier.
The passenger side of this is also just trim so 🤷🏼♂️ but I do agree the tablet fits best in c class personally I think it looks the worst in the new SL just doesn’t fit the shape of the dash imo 😢
Nice and complete review video, Clark Kent! A little bit to long for me, but it's fine!
in your service!
Mercedes is just more comfortable and relaxing. I drove the A4 and A6 but the c class is another level in therms of comfort. Also BMW is more comfortable than Audi. And fuel economy is better with Mercedes and BMW.
Great review as always! Keep going
🙏🙏
Love your reviews
🙏🙏🙏 please recommend ☺️
I’ve had Audis since 1984. I’ve looked at MB but upstairs prefer Audis. They just seem to always suit me, or I’m just too invested in Audis and can’t drive anything else.
I can see why you have been driving Audis for so long! I'm 38, own a 2017 Audi A4. I love the ride, my friend loves it. He's seen my father's Q5 and he would buy either one if my father or me were selling. My buddy actually was going to get an S4 in 2015 but decided not to because of a blown head gasket. Audis just look so nice and are fun to drive.
@@animeman197I can not confirm this. Just recently was driving a Q3, a monster version of it. The gas pedal was soft as hot butter. I mean that as a negative. While I adore the gas pedal of my c class. Stuff like that really matters to me
A4 B9 all he way. I prefer the more angular look.
Don't mess with a man who observes door closing sound frequencies..
🙌
I work for a dealer's auction in Mobile, AL USA. I've had the privilege of driving them both. I do not like the seat controls on the door nor the vents & the large screen in the Benz. The seat of the Audi first me like a glove, the steering wheel is just fabulous & the smooth ride of the A4 is impeccable. After driving Alfas, BMWs, VWs, Benz & Audi of all types I am awaiting financing for a 2015 A4 premium plus. Mint condition with the walnut interior. I fell in absolute love with this car, & tracked down the dealer who purchased it. So impressive. ❤️
thanks for the feedback!
On the exterior design, the merc just looks like more car than the A4. from the side profile, the A4 looks so ordinary, like a car from 1998.
When you borrow these cars from the dealerships you should take the time to go thru the technology with the personal there. To have the panoramic roof or screen to open you just use the MBUX system and say (Hey Merecedes) open/close the roof or screen. The system will cut on the heat for the car and heated seats, control temp of the car and seats, control the radio stations/volume and more all you have to do is ask.
I had a c300. It was my first German car and I LOVED it. I’ve thought about getting another, but now I’m interested in Audi. Am I going to miss the interior of the C class?
This is the best comparison of Audi vs. Mercedes entry level luxury sedan reviews possible.
Here is my problem. I will be entering this market during the spring time of 2023. I am convinced that Audi fits best for me. However in my location there is a Mercedes dealership. The closest Audi dealership is a two hour drive away. I would prefer the Audi, but for convenience and service requirements Mercedes is right here. What should I do?
cheers feel free to share =)
uh thats indeed tough. Well I think it depends, e.g. in Germany you can also keep up your warranty with servicing your car at a free dealer. How is it in your market?
@@autogefuehl we can have ordinary services done anywhere without affecting warranty. But if I do have a warranty problem such as an electrics issue I would have to pay to have it fixed locally or have it transported to a dealer via truck.
Mercedes interior might look fancy, but those screens, they look totally retrofitted...
Mercedes looks fancy but feels cheap in real life. Fitting the interiors with aliexpress led lights and cheap screens is a way to distract the buyer and make him feel like he is sitting in modern luxurious car. The robustness old Mercedes had is no longer there.
Makes for an awful user experience too. Bring back buttons and switches!
@@PaulTC97 says the one with a mini 😅 joke of the day
@@DnBDubstepManiak1 Cause I care more about having fun instead of trying to show off. I don't need to feel accepted. Either way a Mini JCW 3 door is 44k in my country and I could have bought a shitty A Class A250 for the same price. 44k for a sub compact 3 door car is not cheap. I just like Mini and I dont need to buy premium cars to show off even tho Mini sits between premium and generalist. You can't accept Mercedes nowadays makes crap compared to Mercedes from the 90's. My Mini weights 1250kg and has close to 300hp (stage 1). I destroy a crappy A250 that weights 1500kg easily. Also Mercedes nowadays are driven by moroccans and wannabe rappers which get a 10 year loan to pay off for their crappy car. I paid in cash and I forgot about it cause I plan to keep it for a long time and have it as a second car in the near future.
@@PaulTC97 well said that man. In the uk mercs are driven by 5 ft 2 inch tall aggressive bangladeshi men with stenciled beards who also have a 10 year loan to pay their shitty cars.
Awesome review! Thanks!
Appreciated 🙏
What seems crazy to me is how interactive those screens are. How is that any different from being on your phone? I think physical dials are so much safer and I personally prefer them. It looks very nice though.
Indeed
Front: Audi; Side: Mercedes; Back: Mercedes
I like the Mercedes exterior more than the Audi. The Audi interior is better.
Shame the next A4 will have touch-sensitive everything instead of a proper "clicky" AC controls and steering wheel buttons.
Useful. Both good. The Audi just, but that design is looking a bit dated.
Very dated
thanks for the truth! Great in depth review
thanks !!
that’s what you call a german, they care about the sound of the door 🤣🤣
That's very important. I am a new c class driver myself and the first thing I noticed were those heavy, beautiful doors. Unbelievable haptics.
Great honest review. Audi is simply exceptional. Any car manufacturer can put a screen and lights these days...nothing special about those chunky screens and lights in the Benz. It just makes it look like it's trying too hard.
It's a shame the C-class is more like a woman's car...focused on a lot of fanciful superficial stuff.
thanks for following !
Great as usual
👏
What are the typical; Prices? Running costs? Servicing? Insurance? Estimated reselling price? How is going to buy this car? Is there any alternatives?
Nice comparison. I don't understand why the 6 cylinder engine is not available on the A4 in the US (is only available with the S4; A4's only get 40/45 TFSI I4's with on-demand Quattro)
Audi A4 for me. Black with Chrome id pick
