Top 5 Audi Cars of the 2010s
The top 5 Audi cars of the 2010s showcased the company’s top-shelf luxury and the return of the legendary inline-five engine.
Audi hit its stride by 2010. It was in the rhythm of rolling out new products on a regular schedule. Performance increased even as the company moved away from naturally aspirated engines. Styling maintained brand cohesion. You can clearly see the product line’s lineage even as it evolved, getting sharper and more aggressive. Finally, in a nod to its past rally heritage, Audi relaunched a turbocharged version of the inline-five engine. This growling bearcub of a motor found its way into some really good small performance cars.
5. Audi A8 D4
The Audi A8 always brought its A-game when it came to luxury but kicked it up a notch with the D4. Car & Driver likened it to driving a tuxedo. They called it “the sweetest, most sophisticated executive sedan Audi has ever produced.” It’s positively scrumptious as a luxury car. But it’s more than that.
Audi’s flagship continued to defy physics. Weighing over two tons, it dances like a midsize car. You can actually hustle it down a back road. Yes, it will impress your neighbors. It will also wow your passengers. But it will delight you with its driving experience.
