It's 2023, and you're looking for a reliable, stylish, vehicle that can be used for everyday driving and for longer road trips. You want something comfortable that's fun to drive.
Is it impossible to find a vehicle that meets all of these criteria?
Not at all! Audis are a perfect blend of performance, functionality, and style. Plus, there are lots of Audi models to choose from, so you're bound to find an Audi that you will love.
What 2023 Audi models should you consider for your next vehicle purchase? Here's what you need to know about this year's models.
The Audi Guide to Naming Conventions
First, let's talk about the naming convention behind Audi cars.
Audi has a very systemic approach to naming their vehicles, giving them a model letter and number.
The A series includes a variety of vehicles such as sedans, wagons, and hatchbacks.
The Q series is their line of SUVs.
The S series includes A and Q series models, but performance oriented. The RS or RennSport series are high-performance versions of the A and Q series.
Finally, the e-tron models are either fully electric or hybrid vehicles.
The number after the letter of each model indicates the "tier" or hierarchy of the vehicles. Larger numbers equal more luxurious and larger vehicles.
However, that doesn't mean a lower "tier" vehicle isn't a great choice. It just means it's a more affordable option than a higher-tier vehicle, with the tradeoff being fewer features.
Audi Models for 2023
Is there an Audi for everyone? We think so!
There are higher-end models, more affordable entry models, and lots of in-between options.
Here are some of the more popular 2023 Audi models to consider.
Audi A3
The Audi A3 tier is a great car for young professionals, smaller families, and anyone looking for an affordable Audi. On average, you're looking at approximately 32 miles per gallon.
However, being a smaller vehicle, you may find the Audi A3 lacking in legroom.
Overall, the Audi A3 is a great daily driver vehicle for your workday commutes or just zipping around town. The Audi A3 is a very reliable vehicle, with no major problems and few problems to report.
The S Sport package of the A3 offers red brake calipers and sport suspension. It boasts an acceleration of 4.5 seconds to go from 0-60. If you like the look of the A3 but want something with a little more bite, the S3 may be for you.
It's hard to go wrong with purchasing an A3. That said, there are other, more feature-rich Audis, such as
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is a good blend of comfort, tech, and performance. If you're looking for a vehicle that balances being compact with being practical, the A4 is a good middle ground.
The A4 provides a safe, quiet ride. Its interior is stylish, and you will find the seats comfortable even on longer drives.
The V6 engine of the S4 provides you with a horsepower of 349 and an acceleration of 4.4 seconds from zero to sixty.
Audi A5
The A5 and A4 share many commonalities, but the A4 is geared more towards families. Larger families may struggle to fit comfortably within the confines of an A5.
Front sport seats come standard in the A5. The short deck of the A5, combined with a long hood, gives the coupe version of the Audi A5 a super sleek look. Sitting slightly lower than the A$ also helps give the car a sleeker look.
The Sportback edition ups the seating from 4 to 5 people.
Overall, the A5 is a car that makes a powerful statement. Car and Driver called the A5 "a rewarding drive."
Audi Q7
You've made it this far and hopefully found an Audi for you. But what if you want the best SUV Audi has to offer? If so, the Q7 is for you.
The Q7 boasts seating room for 7 people. With the 2nd and 3rd-row seats folded, you get 69.6 cubic feet of cargo room.
A cool tech feature we love about the Q7 is the customizable virtual cockpit plus. A 12.3" HD display offers 3 display modes.
Not sure where you're headed? Simply select the Sat Nav option. You don't even have to take your hands off of the wheel. Buttons on the steering wheel allow you to change displays.
e-Tron
Finally, there's the e-Tron line of electric Audis. Audi has plenty of electric options for consumers at every price range and need.
Take the Q4 e-Tron. It is exactly what you would expect.
It's Audi's popular A4, but in an all-electric form. The battery charge time is as fast as 36 minutes, and it has an estimated range of 265 miles.
There's also the e-Tron GT vehicles. These electric vehicles are designed for performance, with the e-Tron GT reaching 60 mph in under 4 seconds. The charge time is only 22 minutes, and the vehicle's range is 236 miles.
The RS GT is Audi's flagship electric vehicle and for good reason: 637 horsepower gets you from 0 to 60 in just over 3 seconds. The car's lightweight carbon fiber roof helps.
