2017 Acura TLX vs 2017 Audi A4 near Mequon, WI

Like the crossover segment, the luxury compact category is seeing a surge of entries, and we at Acura of Brookfield know how overwhelming it can all be. To lend a helping hand, we’ve put together this comparison between the 2017 Acura TLX vs 2017 Audi A4 near Mequon, WI. These competitive compact sedans both offer two engine options, a plethora of cabin accouterments, and top-notch technology. Let’s see which one claims the victory!

There’s no reason that a compact vehicle shouldn’t have ample power beneath the hood, which is why you’ll find both an in-line 4 and a V6 engine option on the Acura TLX. Providing 206 and 290 horsepower, respectively, both powerhouse options are spirited. The A4 has two options as well, but neither match up with the TLX’s power. The 2.0-liter engine option only produces 190 horsepower, while the upgraded DOHC powerhouse only manages 252 horsepower, falling quite short of the TLX. They offer similar cargo capacities, but the TLX edges out the A4 with its 13.2 cubic ft. of trunk space1 to the A4’s 13 cubic ft. flat of room1. When things get competitive, it comes down to smallest aspects!

Continuing on with our comparison between the 2017 Acura TLX vs the 2017 Audi A4 near Mequon, WI, we’re going to take a look inside these two luxury sedans. The TLX makes it easy to get in and get going the second you want to with its keyless entry and ignition, and the ambient interior lighting will welcome you inside, a particularly useful feature for late night drives. You’ll find neither come standard on the A4! The A4, unlike many other models in the Audi lineup, does offer a simple rearview camera2. The TLX, though, one-ups the A4 with its Multi-View Rear Camera3 with three angles – top down, regular, and wide – to take the insecurities out of backward maneuvers. When it comes to beating the winter chill, the TLX is there to help with its standard heated front seats and heated side mirrors. To equip the same on the A4, you’ll have to opt for the Cold Weather package, which means more money out of your pocket.

We at Acura of Brookfield see a clear winner in this comparison of the 2017 Acura TLX vs the 2017 Audi A4 near Mequon, WI. Come visit the reigning champ, the TLX, displayed on our new showroom floor today! We’re conveniently located at 19180 W. Bluemound Road in Brookfield, WI, right by Kopp’s Frozen Custard!

Testimonials

I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Brian Hoppe was our salesperson and he was great. He made the purchase smooth from testing the car to purchasing it. Communicating prior to test drive was easy. I sent a message and they reached out and were able to set up an appointment on the same day. No spam calls, just text for communication as we preferred. Upon arrival, Brian was very thoughtful and had warmed up the car for us to test drive. We were able to immediately hop in and test drive without having to worry about warming up the engine or having a hovering salesperson in the backseat. He was not pushy at all, and he didn't have to be. The cars here speak for themselves. You could tell the car was well taken care of and maintained to Acura of Brookfield's high standards. We were able to test drive for a while before confirming the purchase. Although it was past working hours, Brian stayed late to set us up for financing. He took care of us and made sure we had drinks and snacks. The price was reasonable and on top of that Brian set us up with even better financing rates than we had initially hoped for. It was a easy yes. We were able to wrap up signing papers and pick it up the next day which took not even an hour. The car was newly washed, tank full, car warmed up, and parked in front for our convenience. It also had Acura merch plus a little gift. Fun! It made the experience great and throughly seamless. Note, we had been searching for a car for over two months dealing with shady dealerships and salespersons who were pushy and deceptive. This dealership and it's employees were nothing like that. They are honest and fair and hold themselves to high standards when it comes to the quality of their cars. I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Just purchased a pre-owned Honda Accord from Brian Hoppe at Acura of Brookfield. From the moment I walked through the showroom doors he was very professional and easy to deal with. He answered EVERY question I had. He knew a lot about the vehicle that I was interested in and truly made me feel like a valued customer. No hidden fees or high pressure sales. The whole process was very refreshing! I will be buying more cars from Brian in the future. Highly Recommend!!!!

Just bought my second Certified Used car from Acura of Brookfield, 8 years after my first one. I worked with Malcolm and he was great - personable, honest, and he knew the vehicles well. I had planned on a 4-5 year cycle but couldn't let go of my TL and now stepped into a MDX. Both times I was treated with attention and respect - it was a great buying experience and pricing was competitive. I really appreciate how they run this dealership and will recommend them to anyone.
