German Cars feature prestige first
And it is not a cliche. Although most Asian and North American manufacturers build amazing vehicles, the brands from Germany have always been, and are right now, the top level ones in the market.
On the specific case of Canada, where winter conditions are extreme and there is a huge trend of people to choose SUVs over Sedans, the A4 sales perform really well, compared to other luxury sedans available on the market.
As a note apart, one of the most popular Audi alternatives to the A4 is the Q5 SUV, and it's only around 50 CAD/month more expensive than the Sedan from this article.
The Audi Q5 is the top Selling SUV from the German Manufacturer in Canada.
BMW and Mercedes-Benz are slightly cheaper
And specifically on starting prices. That, plus the fact that Canadians love to invest in their cars ;)
Across the luxury german brands, the price is, for sure, one of the main factors that make these an "Elite" kind of car, although Audi has multiple vehicles ranking between 30,000 - 45,000 CAD MSRP. BMW and Mercedes-Benz also have some options, but not as popular so far.
Just to mention a few examples:
- 2017 Audi A3 Sedan - starting around 540 CAD/month
- 2017 BMW 320i xDrive - starting around 581 CAD/month
- 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 - starting around
- 2017 Audi A4 - starting around 650 CAD/month
The car itself, of course
Although it is always said, the car features are the ones that grant the actual car a solid difference from other manufacturer ones: (to read a full list of features, please refer to Audi Canada A4 Page)
