Car comparisons, measured rather than argued

Every comparison here starts with the same set of figures, taken from manufacturer documentation and checked against a second independent source. We name the editor, publish the method, and take no money from anyone whose car is in the table.

Eight years apart: what actually changed between the last two A4 generations

The B10 is longer, heavier and quieter than the B9, and its entry engine makes more power on less fuel. Whether any of that justifies the price step is a different question — we measured both, generation by generation.

How we compare

We take the manufacturer's own figures, check each one against a second independent source, and publish the result whether or not it flatters the newer car. Where sources disagree, we say so in the table instead of picking the number that reads better. Nobody pays to appear here, and no link on this page earns us a commission.

About our comparisons

Are Automobilisto comparisons independent?

Yes. No manufacturer, dealer or marketplace pays to appear in a comparison or to influence its outcome, and we carry no affiliate links. Our commercial revenue comes from the vehicle data API and licensed widgets, which are kept entirely separate from editorial.

Where do the figures come from?

Official manufacturer configurators, homologation documents and press data sheets. Every figure is checked against at least two independent sources, and where they disagree we publish the discrepancy rather than choosing the one that reads better.

What is the difference between the three comparison types?

Cross-brand compares rivals from different manufacturers in the same class. Generation compares two generations of one model. Trim compares the engine and equipment ladder inside a single generation.

How often are comparisons updated?

Whenever a figure changes — a facelift, a new engine, a price revision. Both the publication date and the last update date are shown on every comparison and in its structured data.

Can I use these comparisons commercially?

Not by copying them. The same underlying data is available under licence through our vehicle data API and embeddable widgets, which is the supported route for commercial use.
