Audi is a German luxury carmaker with a full line of sedans and crossovers, along with an unusual number of sporty performance models. The brand combines meticulously honed driving dynamics with extra-advanced in-cabin electronics — most famously the Virtual Cockpit, which replaces the conventional gauge cluster with a dazzling digital display. You can choose to render normal analog gauges or a Google Maps satellite view, among other options.

Audi has the same parent company as Volkswagen, Porsche, Bentley, and Lamborghini, and the brands share some of their engines and other technology under the skin. Audi dates back to the early 20th century, and its four-ringed logo stems from a 1930s merger with three competing German carmakers. The company has been a Volkswagen affiliate since the 1960s, and entered the U.S. market in 1970.

Today, Audi’s extensive model lineup includes nearly every size of sedan and crossover, starting with the subcompact A3 sedan and Q3 crossover (both priced from below $35,000) and rising to the flagship A8 sedan, which can cost more than $100,000 with options. Every model is available with the company’s renowned Quattro all-wheel drive, a rally-tested system that dates back four decades — long before competing luxury brands followed suit. And the company is investing in eco-frien,dly electric vehicles, including the recently introduced e-Tron crossover.

Audi names indicate their size position, roughly starting with the subcompact 3, compact 4 and 5, mid-size 6 and 7, and full-size 8. A name starting with A indicates a passenger car (A4, A6), while a Q means a crossover (Q5, Q7) except for the all-electric e-Tron. An S at the beginning of the name (S3, SQ5) indicates a sportier model with a bigger engine and other upgrades, while R (RS 5, R8) is reserved for maximum performance. The A5, A7, and Q8 are sportier “coupe” versions of the A4, A6, and Q7, respectively — most with five doors except for one version of the A5. Most Audis have a trim lineup of Premium (base), Premium Plus, and Prestige.
