5 Audi Models Make the 2021 Car and Driver Editor’s Choice List
The Jack Daniels Audi of Upper Saddle River team always strives to find our clients the perfect Audi model to meet their needs. We truly believe that there’s an Audi model for everyone, from young drivers to enthusiasts to professionals craving the highest quality. Whether you’re ready to take on an off-road adventure or want a lavish experience every time you get behind the wheel, there’s an Audi for you. The editors at Car and Driver agree, by including five Audi models in the 2021 Editor’s Choice List. These five models stand out to the editors of Car and Driver, and it’s easy to see why.
Entry Luxury Car – 2021 Audi A5 Sportback
The editors at Car and Driver noted how easy it is to drive the A5 Sportback fast, how spacious the trunk is, and how the stylish silhouette makes an amazing impact on the road. The ease of driving the A5 through corners can be attributed to the quattro® all-wheel drive system, which offers improved traction in a variety of situations. The A5 Sportback is capable of up to 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Sports car enthusiasts will be pleased with this model, but it’s so much more than a fun car to drive, making the A5 Sportback as practical as it is exciting.
Midsize Luxury Car – 2021 Audi A6
For drivers who care as much about amazing technology features as they do about performance, the editors at Car and Driver praised the A6. The powerful 55 TFSI® 3.0-liter V6 engine offers 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. That impressive torque translates into a gutsy driving experience with amazing throttle response and a satisfying exhaust note. They also noticed the refined interior, which envelops passengers in the Audi lifestyle.
Midsize Luxury Car – 2021 Audi A7
Unlike the A6 counterpart, the A7 is a sportback that editors found helpful, without being too obvious when looking at the A7. The sleek lines of the A7 don’t give away the fact that the rear glass lifts up for access to the spacious trunk. In addition to the sleek design, the A7 stunned editors with its quiet ride and responsive drivetrain. For drivers in the market for a midsize sedan that offers the same luxury as a full-size option, the A7 is the answer.
Full-size Luxury Car – 2021 Audi A8
It’s hard not to love the Audi A8. This flagship model can’t go without notice. Don’t get us wrong. The A8 opts for refined luxury over flashy styling and we think that’s one of its strengths. The editors of Car and Driver agree, praising the A8 for its refinement, understated styling, and the litany of standard features. Editors also noted that the Audi A8 still feels capable through corners, despite being a full-size sedan and we’re betting that’s due to the quattro® all-wheel drive.
Luxury Station Wagon – 2021 Audi A6 allroad®
Don’t let the category fool you. The Audi A6 allroad isn’t just a great vehicle for families. Wagons might not be as popular as they once were due to the rise of the crossover, but we think the A6 allroad might change your mind about what it means to own a wagon. The editors of Car and Driver praised the styling of the A6 allroad, which bucks the idea of the boring station wagon with sleek lines and aggressive headlights. The powerful V6 delivers 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, perfect for adventurous drivers and people who prefer a lower car with ample cargo space.
