The Audi A6 is a mid sized luxury car that was first introduced in 1994. Available as both a wagon (Avant) or a sedan, the first generation A6 was also available with several different engines, including two diesel engines and most available with Quattro, or all wheel, drive.
The Audi A5 2 door all wheel drive luxury coupe debuted for the 2008 model year. In the Audi lineup, the A5 falls somewhere between the compact A4 and the mid size A6 and accommodates up to 4 adults. The cabin is furnished with high quality materials and has an alluring style that actually leans more toward sporty than luxurious, yet comfort and convenience are nicely accommodated throughout. Although it is not quite as sporty as the BMW or as well balanced as some Jaguar’s, or as lavish as the Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class, the Audi A5 is the low price leader.
The Audi A4 Sedan was first introduced in 1994, replacing the Audi 80. Available with either front wheel or all wheel drive and several different engines, the A4 Sedan quickly gained popularity among those searching for a fuel efficient and reliable sedan that provided the luxurious options and comfort found in higher priced European compact executive cars.
The Audi A3 was introduced in 2006 in the United States as Audi’s entry level model for the North American marketplace, though it had been sold in Europe for over 10 years. This compact wagon, with its tasteful interior and generous power output, was designed to shatter the typical stereotypes associated with small, space efficient vehicles, such as cheap materials and poor build quality. As a luxury car manufacturer, Audi is highly regarded for their high quality materials throughout, precise user friendly controls and a superior fit and finish, and the A3 does not disappoint. Also unusual for this category is the A3’s highly functional all wheel drive version that tackles snow covered roads with ease. There have been no major changes for the A3 since its debut.
