2017 Audi A5 Performance Specifications 

The 2017 Audi A5 comes standard with a 2.0L turbo I-4 engine that produces up to 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a manual transmission that gives you a fun and sporty driving quality, and all-wheel drive means the vehicle is ready for anything. The vehicle also features a multi-link suspension on the front and rear axles, which gives the vehicle its super smooth ride quality. 

2017 BMW 3 Series Performance Specifications 

The 2017 BMW 3 Series standard trim level is powered by a similar 2.0L turbo I-4 engine. But the power tops out at just 180 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an automatic transmission with manual mode, but the vehicle does offer a full manual transmission as an optional upgrade. The real difference is in ride quality, since the 3 Series has strut front suspension, which isn't as smooth as a multi-link suspension type.
