A Brief and Helpful Guide to Audi Sedans

The Audi lineup is not the largest or most complex in the auto industry, but there’s still plenty here that can make it tricky to navigate. Even if you’re only interested in a four-door car, you still have more than enough options to overwhelm at a casual glance. Although we’re more than happy to take you through everything Audi offers in person and help you find the right vehicle, we also know how helpful it can be to get a sense of what’s out there before you visit us in person. So before you say to your phone, “Find an Audi dealer near me,” and come here looking for your next car, let’s take a quick look at what’s available and get a sense of what each of them has to offer. That way, you’ll have a pretty good sense of what you’re looking for when you show up, and we can help you find everything you want in your next car.

Kicking things off in the Audi lineup of cars (remember that we’re specifically focusing on four-door models today) is the A3. This is a subcompact beauty, making it the smallest model and the perfect choice if you’re looking for something that can zip through city streets and use any parking spot you come across. One of the nice things about the models we’re looking at is that Audi’s naming convention uses increasing numbers to indicate increasing size, so the model name gives you an indication of how large a car is in relation to the rest of the lineup.

You’ll find numerous engines available for this car, plus impressive engineering that makes it incredibly fun to drive; the 2025 model, for example, has Quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) standard. Thanks to its small size, it’s also incredibly efficient even though it delivers a driving experience that leaves most comparable vehicles in its dust. If you’re looking for something with even greater performance, then consider the Audi S3 model with a more powerful engine or the RS 3 that delivers an incredible combination of power and comfort. The RS models from Audi are where high-performance and exquisite luxury come together perfectly.

For something a little bit larger, the Audi A4 is the next step up: a compact car that gives you a more spacious interior without compromising on luxury or performance. From the outside, the A4 beautifully marries the essential style of a sedan with refined design elements that refuse to be ignored. The body of this car immediately grabs your attention and pulls your eyes across it so you cannot look away. Under the hood, you’ll find incredible performance and power while the interior drips with the most sophisticated luxury and innovative technology available anywhere. If you want a practical car that still looks gorgeous and drives beautifully, then consider the A4 allroad model for a hatchback design that gives you more space inside to utilize. The Audi S4 takes performance to the next level while keeping the compact size perfect for a wide range of drivers.

Although the Audi A5 is one of our favorite cars on the market, it doesn’t technically fit this guide because we’re looking at sedans. The A5 is a powerful and stunning two-door coupe that’s incredibly fun to drive; fortunately for us, however, Audi offers this model in a number of exciting styles. Alongside a coupe and sporty cabriolet model, there’s an A5 Sportback that reshapes this car into a four-door model perfect for daily driving and enjoying the weekend. This gives you a sleek, beautifully crafted driving experience that elevates every trip and lets you make the most of your time behind the wheel. There’s a standard A5 Sportback, as well as an S5 Sportback for enhanced performance, and even an RS 5 Sportback with the most powerful engine on offer to take your driving experience to the next level.

Moving up now to one of the best choices for a wide range of drivers: the Audi A6 is a powerfully engineered and beautifully designed midsize sedan. We love a good midsize car because we find it hits that “just right” spot between smaller models that might not give you enough trunk space for everything you need and full-size cars that can be challenging to maneuver. With the A6, you get a car that is incredibly fun to drive—once again, Quattro AWD is standard—while perfectly combining sophistication and practicality. This is a great choice if you have a family you need to take with you, but you still want to be surrounded by luxury while driving something that will put a smile on your face daily. Along with the standard model, there’s a performance-focused S6 available, a hatchback A6 allroad model, and an RS 6 Avant performance version with a hatchback design and incredibly powerful engine.

We can’t help but feel like the Audi A7 is what you get when a car company lets its designers and engineers completely off the chain to make precisely the kind of car they want to drive. This is a stunning piece of machinery that brings style, performance, and luxury together in a way that we’ve never seen elsewhere. Although still a four-door model, this is more of a fastback than a traditional sedan, giving you a sleek roofline that can’t be ignored when you’re on the road. It brings together functionality and precision in a way that no other car can and creates something that brings a smile to our faces every time we see it. Given its stunning design and power, it should be no surprise that there’s an S7 model available as well as an RS 7 performance-focused version for an incredible driving experience.

Finally, we come to the top end of the Audi sedan lineup with the largest model on offer: the A8 is a full-size powerhouse that’s perfect for anyone who needs their luxury car to have plenty of room to take advantage of. While certainly not as big as an SUV, this is still a big car, so keep that in mind if you need something smaller. For those of us who still love a large car, the A8 is perfect with a beautiful design and impressive power packed under the hood. The spacious interior is ideal if you tend to have three or four passengers with you frequently, plus you get a large trunk with plenty of room for a couple golf bags. If you want enhanced performance, then the S8 is the perfect choice that brings together stunningly elegant design with bold power engineered to make every trip one you’ll enjoy.

As you can see, the Audi lineup has a car for pretty much every driver; no matter what you’re looking for, we can help you find it. Whether you need the demure size and sophisticated performance of the A3 or something large and in charge like the A8, Audi has you covered. Having so many amazing options available feels like being spoiled when you’re shopping for a car, but it can also make it tricky if you’re not quite sure which one best meets your needs. That’s why it helps to shop at a dealership that has friendly people ready to assist you as you explore what’s out there and make sure you find the perfect car. No matter what you need from your next luxury car, Audi has something that will work for you and we’re ready to take you through everything on offer and see to it that you drive away in the sedan of your dreams.
