Audi Q4 2020 Review
Audi is one of today's most successful luxury brands, having effectively leveraged its minimalist styling and Quattro all-wheel-drive system into a compelling image of modernity and innovation. Its lineup consists of extremely competent vehicles, most of which—such as the A4 sedan and Q7 SUV—are so uniformly good at everything that they can almost feel cold and clinical. That criticism extends even to the sportier and more powerful S-line and RS variants such as the 444-hp RS5 Sportback four-door coupe and the R8 supercar. In spite of its forward-looking image, Audi is only now starting to add mild-hybrid powertrains throughout its lineup, and sells only one fully electric vehicle, the e-tron.
The Audi e-tron GT is a more muscular-looking version of the Porsche Taycan, and they share an advanced all-electric system that ensures repeated performance.
The Audi e-tron and its coupelike counterpart, the e-tron Sportback, look more conventional than similar EV SUVs, but they're still lovely and highly luxurious.
Facing an onslaught of new rivals, the Audi A3 sedan has been restyled, re-engineered, and modernized for the 2022 model year.
As a compact luxury sports sedan, the 2022 Audi A4 is easy to like and hard to fault since it is handsomely styled, well-built, and loaded with goodies.
Audi doesn't sell the A4 Avant station wagon in the U.S. but we do get the 2022 A4 Allroad, which is a lifted version of it—and nearly as lovely.
In the world of Audi, removing two doors from the A4 sedan increases the number to 5—as in, the 2022 A5 coupe and cabriolet.
Both sexy and practical, the 2022 Audi A5 Sportback blends the best of what we love about the A4 sedan and the A5 coupe.
Comfortable, spacious, handsome, technology-rich, and well-equipped, the 2022 Audi A6 checks the critical boxes for a modern mid-size luxury car.
The 2022 Audi A6 Allroad is a handsomely styled luxury wagon with an adjustable air suspension for when adventures take a more rock-strewn path.

Audi's most luxurious sedan, the 2022 A8, hides its high-dollar cabin behind a handsome, understated façade and rolls on a chassis that emphasizes a comfortable ride.
