The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
6.8
7.8
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2022 Audi A4 is light on styling personality but scores big for its tech and overall execution. The 2022 BMW 3-Series nails the sport-sedan triathlon with eye-flattening acceleration, hair-bending grip, and a lavish tech-laden cabin.
