Pros Cons of Audi S5

Pros

  • Based on the MLB platform, the A5 is sturdily built
  • The A5 is only available with the sporty variants
  • The RS5 is quite the looker

Cons

  • Low on connected car features
  • The S5 looks simple and very understated
  • The gearbox could have been more responsive

Verdict

It is a niche model, and also given that it will be a direct import - so that price is more attractive than you think. But with BMW assembling the M340i locally, an over 10 lakh price difference between the two in favour of the Bimmer.  But it is good to see Audi getting us many brand shaping and relevant models. And especially a car like the S5 - which arrives at a time when many premium brands are once again showing some love to the sedan space.

Pros Cons of BMW X3

Pros

  • Genuine sports SUV performance
  • A highly futuristic cabin
  • Improved low-speed ride quality
  • Diesel engine option for high-mileage drivers
  • Massive legroom in the second row

Cons

  • Physical climate control buttons are gone
  • Lower dashboard plastics
  • Sub-par seatback pockets
  • Polarising exterior styling

Verdict

Removing physical AC buttons is a polarising industry trend the BMW X3 has embraced, and its flashy exterior styling might not suit everyone's taste, too. However, the rest of the mechanical package is incredibly strong. Also, switching to regular tyres makes it one of the most comfortable SUVs in its class over bad Indian roads. And the addition of the high-power 30 xDrive petrol variant finally gives enthusiast drivers a reason to look at the X3 again.

Bilal summarises,

“The X3 is not for the average buyer. It is for the enthusiast who still believes an SUV can entertain.”
