Lexus ES 350 vs. Audi A4 Review

Handling
The A4 and the Lexus ES 350 have roughly similar tires. With their comparable turning radii, the Audi and the Lexus ES 350 indubitably handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Audi A4's engine is somewhat smaller than the Lexus ES 350's, but not terribly so. The Audi A4 has no lessons to learn with respect to torque from the Lexus.

Utility
The ES 350's bigger trunk will accommodate more big objects than the Audi A4. Neither the Audi A4 nor the Lexus ES 350 has a marked advantage with respect to seating capacity.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Audi A4's front cabin compared to the Lexus ES 350. While the rear of the Lexus ES 350 provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Audi, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The A4 is slightly more ponderous than the Lexus ES 350. The Audi A4's tank is about the same size as the Lexus ES 350's, though the Lexus ES 350's is somewhat larger. The Audi A4 and the ES 350 compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the ES 350 to the dealership as the Audi A4. When it comes to MSRP, the ES 350 doesn't cost much less than the Audi A4.

Overview
The Lexus ES 350 and the Audi have the same basic warranty.
