TeknikensVärld: Audi A4 2.0TDI vs BMW 320d vs MB C220CDI

KokkenTor · 12-13-2007, 05:40 AM

The swedish magazine TeknikensVärld have tested Audi A4 2.0TDI, BMW 320d and Mercedes C220CDI. Result:

1. Audi A4 2.0TDI (143hp/320Nm)
2. Mercedes C220CDI (170hp/400Nm)
3. BMW 320d (177hp/350Nm)

Price is the main reason for Audi's placement. BMW has the best engine by margin in the test.

The FL 3er sedan needs a better looking front bumper (which i think its getting) and more pronounced and aggresive headlights and kidneys (i doubt its getting)

The A4 looks superb in that pic and the C CLass looks quite alrite... tad bland but so does the BMW

I have this magazine at home. What surprise me is that they thought the 3er had the best interior materials and felt more well-built than the competition. They also mention that the previous A4 felt more well built than the new A4.

They also said the Benz would probably have won if it wasnt so freaking expensive and they end the comparison by saying that all three are good cars and you will be happy with the car no matter what you buy. They all have high standard.

^^^ I have read in a few reviews that the BMW 3 series if better built and with better materials then the competition... If only it wasnt so uninspiring... It needs a more luxury look to go with the quality

hi i have used the 3 er and new c and there is no way the material and fit is better than the new c ....maybe some dont like the design of the new c interior which is a pesonel preference ,,but the quality off the new c and build is in my opinion better then the 3er,,,

Merc1 · 12-13-2007, 06:03 AM

The C looks like a S-Class in that pic, nice.

We all have different opinions, thats the beauty with cartests, we do not have to take their words for it. We can decide on our own.

Exactly Fortuner... whoever thinks the 3-er interior is better built and has better materials then the C is smoking something serious!

The C's interior is rather superb in person!
