Pros Cons of BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine

Pros

  • Looks like an executive sedan
  • The long wheelbase really provides a lot of space
  • The 3 Series GL does not have much competition

Cons

  • Could have been generous with features
  • Suspension is a bit taut
  • The 3 GL misses out on some creature comforts like rear seat controls for the media

Verdict

India is the first right hand drive market anywhere in the world to get the car and of course the focus here is on the extra space inside the cabin, specifically for people in the rear seat. The 3GL is promising to offer more comfort at price which may not be beyond your reach and as a chauffeur driven car it is right up there in the segment. The 3 series sedan starts at ₹ 42.30 lakh (ex-showroom). In comparison this long wheelbase model is expected to be priced between ₹ 50 and Rs 54 lakh.

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.
