The 2025 Audi A5 and the 2025 BMW 3 Series are compact executive cars that have a big presence on the road. When you’re looking for a professional vehicle with an exciting edge, they’re both great choices, but there are areas where the Audi model clearly excels. Audi Gilbert compares these two models in detail.
Notable Capabilities
One of the biggest differences you’ll see between the 2025 Audi A5 and the 2025 BMW 3 Series is in their capabilities. With their exciting power, traction is crucial. The Audi A5 comes standard with a quattro® all-wheel drive system, which intuitively redirects power when it senses that added grip is necessary. All-wheel drive is only available in select BMW 3 Series models.
Premium Power
Each of these svelte cars are packed with power, each boasting an exciting 5.6-second 0-60 mph time. However, new Audi models are truly performance focused. In the 2025 Audi A5, that focus comes through in features such as a dual-clutch transmission and progressive steering. The Audi model comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to deliver up to 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The 2025 BMW 3 Series, on the other hand, generates just 255 horsepower with its base power.
Innovative Technology
The cabins of each model feature brilliant displays, including a driver-centric touchscreen. The 2025 Audi A5 takes it up a step by adding an optional 10.9-inch front passenger display screen, so that your co-pilot can enjoy their favorite entertainment as well. It also offers an 810-watt Bang and Olufsen® premium sound system with 3D Sound and 20 speakers, including four integrated into the front seat headrests, providing unrivaled sound quality.
