BMW 330i vs Audi A4: MPG & More

Whether you’re cruising through the city streets or opening it up on the highway, fuel efficiency is going to be important in a sedan like the 2022 BMW 330i or the 2022 Audi A4.

When both models are equipped with their standard engines, the 330i just edges out the EPA-estimated 26 city/34 highway MPG of the A4 with an EPA-estimated 26 city/36 highway MPG fuel economy of its own.* Both sedans feature fuel tank capacities of just over 15 gallons.

When you get behind the wheel of models from brands like BMW and Audi, speed and acceleration are almost always going to be on your mind. Both the 330i and the A4 feature top speeds of 130 MPH.

BMW 330i vs Audi A4

Your seat behind the wheel of your sports car should be as comfortable as possible. Luckily, the cabins of the BMW 330i and the Audi A4 are encapsulated by rich fabrics and materials like wood grain trims and leather seats. However, only the 330i allows you to forego leather and stick with their standard leather alternative: SensaTec upholstery.

Plus, the BMW comes standard with power front sport seats and available 4-way lumbar support. None of these features can be found on the Audi A4.

With either option, you’ll enjoy those beautiful, sunny days with the standard power sunroof of the A4 and the 330i’s standard 2-way power glass moonroof with “one-touch” operation and interior sunshade.

When the weather outside isn’t as agreeable, you’ll want to take comfort inside your sedan. The automatic 3-Zone Climate Control of the 2022 330i will help you do so with ease. With the Advanced Vehicle & Key Memory system of the 330i, you can even program your BMW to remember all your preferred seat, mirror, and climate settings.

While the power-adjustable seats of the BMW 330i and the Audi A4 will certainly help keep you comfortable, you’ll want to ensure the comfort of your passengers as well.
