Audi and Mercedes-Benz Gear Up for a Very Luxurious Battle

Posted on November 6, 2013

A war is coming to the Luxury auto market and for us
here at Faraz Auto Sales we couldn't be more excited. Since
the beginning of 2013 it seems that just about every automaker that has their
hand in the luxury segment has announced that it will develop a low-cost model
for young aspirational drivers. Already BMW, Jaguar and Maserati have already
decided to enter the entry-level luxury fight, but right now it seems like the
biggest battle is going to be between Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

Both of these German auto giants have completed
development of a four-door entry-level sedan with forward-wheel drive and a
similar starting price near $30,000. The Mercedes-Benz model will be called the
2014 CLA-Class, while the Audi sedan has been coined the
2015 A3

A quick peek under the hood of one of these
CLA-class models will have you looking at a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine
that can generate up to 208 horsepower thanks to a seven-speed automatic
transmission.

The new Audi A3 will be offered with three engine
choices. Drivers can pick either a a 1.8-liter TFSI engine, a 2.0-liter TFSI, or
a 2.0-iter turbodiesel .

It is pretty obvious that drivers looking for a
taste of the brand's they love are going to have a whole lot of new options
coming their way, which means it is only a matter of time before these hot
models make it into our inventory of used
luxury and used performance cars. Located at 96
