Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi A4 than the Acura TLX, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi A4, the Acura TLX may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
The Audi A4 requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Acura TLX, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Acura TLX is somewhat more expensive than the Audi A4.

Dimensions
Since the Acura TLX is much wider than the Audi A4, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Acura TLX, which is slightly longer than the Audi A4.

Handling
The Acura TLX has a larger turning radius than the Audi A4, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Acura TLX has a much more powerful engine than the Audi A4. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Acura TLX transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Audi A4.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Acura TLX and the Audi A4.
