Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi A3
- Premium interior with great fit and finish quality.
- Long list of features – LED headlights and tail lights, dynamic turn indicators, Audi Multi-Media Interface, panoramic sunroof etc.
- Both engines are fuel-efficient and offer adequate performance.
- Classy, understated design and rock solid build quality.
Mahindra Alturas G4
- Size: Large and imposing looks make it stand out.
- Loaded: Ventilated seats, Nappa leather upholstery, sunroof, dual-zone AC - you name it.
- Safety: Body is built out of 81.7% high-strength steel, 9 airbags are a segment first.
- Low-speed ride quality: Simply glides over and flattens out bumps. Deliciously smooth!
- Classy interiors: Looks posh, feels properly upmarket.

Audi A3
- Cabin space, while better than its rival, the Mercedes CLA’s, is quite limited for the price.
- No paddle-shifters offered.
- Dummy buttons on centre console and passenger doors look ungainly.
Mahindra Alturas G4
- Low-set third row best left for kids. Uncomfortable for adults even on short journeys.
- Feels bouncy at higher speeds, more so in the second and third rows.
- Touchscreen graphics and response could’ve been better.
- Audio system is average at best
- Mercedes-Benz-sourced 7-speed automatic feels lazy, especially under hard acceleration.
