Similar in size, performance, features yet I would consider MUCH better looking. I'd even consider my 2018 A5 Sportback (with S-line trim, red calipers) perhaps the best-looking car I'll ever have.
I realize that the original poster wants more storage, but...
It had (I just traded it 2 weeks ago for a 2023 230i xDrive) their sport seats, good, but nowhere near SAAB comfort, nor as good as BMW (I also still have 2018 330i xD wagon).
With sport suspension and 18" rims, much better handling than the 9-5 Aero, as quick or better, as good or better mpg.
I don't know if the base GT suspension is a little sportier than the base 3-series (I believe that's the case with the A5 vs the A4), but even with sport suspension and 18" vs my (same year) 330i with base suspension and 17", I'd say that the BMW's rear-drive bias handled better than the Audi's front-drive, but close. I really liked the A5, but loving it's replacement (with sport suspension, sport steering, LSD, 19").
