Audi A4

62% Match

Why A4 for you?

Better fuel efficiency

A4 has an ARAI-rated 17.4 kmpl and user-reported 18 kmpl, while GLA only has a user-reported 15 kmpl, meaning lower running costs for daily commuting.

Lower price and bigger tank

At Rs 46.88 lakh vs Rs 51.80 lakh, the A4 is significantly cheaper, and its 54L tank beats the GLA's 43L, meaning fewer refuelling stops.

Tighter turning and city manoeuvrability

Comparable turning radius (5.8m vs 5.7m) but the A4's sedan proportions and rear camera with guidance make routine city parking straightforward.
