When you leave the office this Friday, start off your weekend right with a fun ride along the highways of Maple Shade, Moorestown, and Cherry Hill, NJ. With either the 2022 Acura TLX or the Audi A4 as your companion, you’ll be armed with plenty of power, technology, and luxury.
However, only one of these sedans will offer the most of what you need.
To see which of these models takes the spotlight, let’s dive into this 2022 Acura TLX vs. Audi A4 vehicle comparison created by the experts at Elite Acura. When you know which one you want to drive, contact us and we’ll get you behind the wheel!
Both the 2022 Acura TLX and the Audi A4 earn their racing stripes with the impressive power that they generate under the hood. You can tell that just by looking at their standard powertrains before any upgrades:
|
2022 Acura TLX |
2022 Audi A4 |
|
| Engine |
2.0L turbo 4-cylinder |
2.0L 4-cylinder |
| Horsepower |
272 HP |
201 HP |
| Drivetrain |
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) |
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) |
As you can see, the two sedans come standard with a 4-cylinder engine. You get a lot more horsepower from the Acura, though, which delivers 272 horsepower. Compare that to the 201 horsepower from the Audi.
The standard powertrain of the Acura is Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). However, you can switch that to an all-weather-ready Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®). This AWD system comes with an engine upgrade as well.
For the Acura TLX, the engine upgrades to a turbocharged 3.0L 6-cylinder engine that produces 355 horsepower. The Audi A4, on the other hand, only jumps up to 261 horsepower with its upgraded 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. Without that extra 6-cylinder kick, drivers in the Audi sedan may find their performance lacking a bit compared to the Acura.
Now that we’ve had a look under the hood, let’s slide behind the wheel of these luxury sedans to see what their cabins have to offer. We’ll start with the dimensions:
|

| Legroom (Front) |

41.3 inches |
| Cargo Volume |
13.5 cubic feet |
12 cubic feet |
While both cars have enough room for five passengers with comparable amounts of headroom and legroom for the driver, we see a big difference when we consider trunk space. With 13.5 cubic feet of cargo volume, the Acura TLX may let you pack a bit heavier than the Audi A4.
Otherwise, both cars offer drivers and passengers plenty of comforts. For example, both provide heated seats and an available heated steering wheel. These can help you get warm and toasty after cleaning snow off your car before your morning commute.
On the other hand, when your family returns to the car after a long day at the beach, the Acura TLX has available ventilated front seats that can help them cool down quickly.
We hope that our 2022 Acura TLX vs. Audi A4 comparison will help you decide which one you want to drive through Maple Shade, Cherry Hill, and Moorestown, New Jersey.
