BHPian LifeIsTravel<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Dear Experts,<\/p>\n I want to buy a premium car now and test drove the A4 and A-class. Want to buy only petrol because I am in Delhi NCR.<\/p>\n Drove GLA and Q3 also and realised that I am not an SUV person. BMW 2-series seems like a car for 2 people. Everything else beyond budget which is ideally 40-45L OTR.<\/p>\n I am no car expert e.g., I hear A4 is now old technology OR that Merc\u2019s 8-year warranty makes a difference \u2013 I frankly can\u2019t judge.<\/p>\n Please help me choose. Thank you.<\/p>\n Btw, why there are no sedans in the range of 25-45L in the market?<\/p>\n Here’s what BHPian lamborghini<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n The A4 is a segment higher than the A-Class globally, but is a relatively older model as you rightly pointed out.<\/p>\n As for variant differences – all boils down to what you will find useful. There are many who are happy with the basic Premium trim; forget premium plus \/ technology.<\/p>\n Buying a pre-owned higher grade car that is only 2-3 years old: your options should be 330i or A6. The E Class & 5 series are generally priced higher for such examples, though the A6 may fall in the bracket due to heavy discounts + is a newer generation compared to E\/5 which has already unveiled the next generation and will soon be outdated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian GoBabyGo<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n Get yourself an Audi A4. However, if you have your own house and space to install EV charging in your parking area, check out the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Its on-road Noida price is 48.75 lacs and hopefully, you will get some discount also.<\/p>\n Ioniq 5 has a practical range (from 100% to 20%) of 400 km in the city and 375 km on highways. Maintenance cost is not very high. Service support from Hyundai is fantastic.<\/p>\n If you are not open for an EV, get A4 and enjoy.<\/p>\n All the best for your purchase.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian AKSarkar1<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n I have been a diehard Mercedes supporter but recently given certain budget requirements switched to Audi as well, albeit pre-owned. Funnily enough, I have found the maintenance to be on the cheaper side since VAG cars have part sharing and this sometimes results in unexpected but more than welcome savings.<\/p>\n The A4 and A-Class are simply not in the same league, an Audi equivalent of the A-Class would be the A3 (hatchback or Sedan) which was formerly available in India. The current generation of the A Class is drab and uninspiring, the interiors are a bit too cramped and basic for my liking.<\/p>\n I would say go in for the A4 any day over the A-Class if the budget permits.<\/p>\n And lastly, as a Sedan lover, I feel your pain! Just until a decade ago, you could buy everything from a Jetta, Passat, Fluence and Octavia in the mid to high 20L range!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nWhat I liked about the A4<\/h2>\n
