Audi

The current-generation Audi A8 continues to evolve as the brand’s flagship luxury sedan, receiving a series of thoughtful updates for the 2025 model year rather than a full redesign.

For 2025, Audi has further refined the A3 family by updating the sedan inside and out — and in the sporty S3’s case, underneath, too.

The biggest news for the A6 and A7 mid-size sedan and hatchback is the new Nardo Sport Edition, available exclusively on the sportier S6 and S7.

Consumer Reports, which has been ranking new-car reliability for years, has released its first-ever ranking of used cars that are 5 to 10 years old.

Against widespread hybridization and engine downsizing, big-bore monsters like the 2024 Audi RS 6 Avant feel deliciously old-school.

The 2024 U.S. Tech Experience Index Study suggests buyers of new vehicles are “becoming overwhelmed with technology features that don’t solve a problem, don’t work, are difficult to use or are just too limited in functionality.”

While Audi is leaving the Q5 SUV mostly untouched for the 2025 model year, it’s adding a number of new option packages across the lineup.

U.S.-specific information is still on the way, but Audi offered some European specs and estimates for the stateside version that look enticing.

Familiar battery and motor upgrades along with suspension tweaks bring the top-trim 2024 Audi Q4 e-Tron electric SUV neatly in line with the brand’s image and character, even if it’s far from perfect.

For 2024, Porsche takes the top spot for premium brands as well as the overall crown, with Mini taking the honors among mass-market brands.
