Reviews SummaryThe 2022 Audi A3 is a premium compact sedan entering an all-new generation of production. The four-door is available in three trim levels, with the same ones available in the higher-performance S3 variant, carrying a starting MSRP of $38,900 and going to $53,900. Quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) is standard, while a front-wheel drive (FWD) drivetrain is not offered in the Canadian market. Audi has added upscale features to this new car, both standard and available, to give its entry-level compact sedan more of a premium presence. | |
Reviews SummaryWe’d forgotten just how terrific the Audi A4 can be. The compact luxury sports sedan is over half a decade old now. After a week-long stint in the US equivalent of a 2022 Audi A4 Technik 45 TFSI, we’re reminded of the A4’s fundamental appeal. From its rock-solid structure to its modern technology, nothing about the 2022 A4 telegraphs the car’s age. The A4 remains an excellent choice in a luxury sports sedan. | |
