Audi S4 vs BMW 3 Series vs Mercedes C-Class vs Tesla Model 3

Audi S4 vs BMW 3 Series vs Mercedes C-Class vs Tesla Model 3


For the first time, both S models in the #A4 family are using a V6 diesel engine - the #Audi S4 Sedan TDI and the S4 Avant TDI. The 3.0 TDI produces 255 kW (347 metric hp) of power and up to 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of torque. A mild hybrid system based on a new 48-volt main on-board electrical system increases efficiency, while the electric powered compressor (EPC) ensures powerful drive-off performance. This combination of power, torque, efficiency and spontaneity is unique in the segment.

The 3.0 TDI, the most powerful configuration level in Audi's V6 diesel series, combines brawny performance with high efficiency. Its output is 255 kW (347 metric hp), and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of torque is available between 2,500 and 3,100 rpm. The V6 diesel accelerates the Audi S4 Sedan TDI from stationary to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.8 seconds; in the Audi S4 Avant TDI it is 4.9 seconds. Top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h (155.3 mph).

Audi offers the S4 Sedan and the S4 Avant with a gasoline engine, the 3.0 TFSI, in markets outside Europe. The turbocharged direct injection engine has an output of 260 kW (354 metric hp) and produces a hefty torque of 500 Nm (368.8 lb-ft) from 1,370 to 4,500 rpm. The V6 engine propels the S4 Sedan TFSI from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.7 seconds and up to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph). The standard sprint takes two tenths of a second longer in the Audi S4 Avant TFSI.

The engine in the new #BMW 330i Sedan generates more spirited performance than ever. Boasting numerous detail upgrades, this two-litre, four-cylinder unit delivers maximum output of 190 kW/258 hp between 5,000 and 6,500 rpm, while peak torque of 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) is available from 1,550 to 4,400 rpm. The 5 kW/6 hp increase in output and the extra 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) of torque compared with the predecessor engine are the result of the focused optimisation of the BMW TwinPower Turbo system - which comprises twin-scroll turbochargers, High Precision Injection direct petrol injection, VALVETRONIC fully variable valve timing and Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing.

An impressive 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of 5.8 seconds belies the enhanced efficiency of the new BMW 330i Sedan with its combined fuel consumption of 6.1 - 5.8 l/100 km (46.3 - 48.7 mpg imp) and CO2 figures between 139 und 132 grams per kilometre. The engine's emissions have also been further improved. The exhaust treatment system includes a particulate filter to reduce emissions of particulate matter. As a result, the new BMW 330i Sedan complies with the particularly demanding Euro 6d-TEMP emissions standard.

The new-look C-Class combines emotionality with intelligence. The vehicle's new appearance is defined in particular by its front end and the design of the headlamps and tail lights. On the new version, the AMG Line features the diamond radiator grille as standard. The front bumpers have been redesigned for all lines. They feature either a silver trim strip (standard), a chrome-plated trim strip (in combination with AVANTGARDE exterior) or a three-part chrome trim strip (EXCLUSIVE exterior).

The new #Mercedes-Benz C-Class features the latest driving assistance systems, offering the driver cooperative support and providing for a higher standard of active safety than its predecessor. The C-Class is able to drive semi-autonomously in certain situations. The C-Class also uses map and navigation data for assistance functions. For example, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC as part of the Driving Assistance package is able to support the driver in numerous situations on the basis of map information and predictively adjust the speed e.g. when approaching bends, junctions or roundabouts. Other new developments include intuitively understandable Active Lane Change Assist and Active Emergency Stop Assist as new functions of Active Steering Assist.

#Tesla Model 3 is the next logical step of Tesla's "secret master plan" and mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

Like every Tesla, Model 3 is engineered to combine range, performance, safety and utility. Smart design maximizes interior space, to comfortably fit 5 adults and all of their gear. Tesla makes fast cars, Model 3 is no exception. The high efficiency electric motor provides zero to 60 mph acceleration in less than six seconds. And when equipped with electric all-wheel drive, Tesla Model 3 provides safe and dependable traction in all conditions.

Designed with safety as a priority, Tesla Model 3 should be the safest car in its class once testing completes. This, combined with over 200 miles of range while starting at $35,000 before incentives, makes Tesla Model 3 an extraordinary mid-size sedan.
