Audi's first-ever all-electric car will debut soon--in mid-September in San Francisco--and there's more to look forward to than just a new Audi model.

Though, is it ever "just" a new Audi?

The all-new Audi e-tron will mark a significant step toward the future of vehicles, one that's a lot more electric than the current field of gas- and diesel-powered cars and SUVs. Audi is by no means the first automaker to throw their hat in the ring for electric luxury vehicle options, but it may be the best we've seen yet in all-around functionality, comfort, and…

 

As sports-car enthusiasts, the language of Audi design is akin to the language of love.

And, by hearty admission of the designers in the video above, there was a lot love that went into every line, every curve, and every lightbulb of the all-new 2019 Audi A7 Sportback.

One of our favorite parts of the new 2019 Audi A7 design (and we're not alone in this) is the expressive, dynamic feature line that stretches from the front point of the car to the rear.

 

Kelley Blue Book, one of the most trusted names in automotive, bestowed a prestigious "Best Buy" Award upon the 2017 Audi A4 for the Luxury Car category in their recent rankings. For Charlotte drivers who have been considering this exceptional sedan, maybe now your mind has been made up.
 

 

Here's what Jack R. Nerad, Executive Editorial Director and Executive Market Analyst for KBB.com, had to say about the new 2017 A4, and why giving the award was such an easy choice:

 

Now through September 5th, drivers all across Charlotte, Huntersville, Concord, and Matthews NC can take advantage of special offers and exciting deals on top new Audi models during the Summer of Audi Sales Event going on at our North Carolina luxury car dealership. And if you've been considering upgrading your current car within the next year, you won't want to miss it.

It's a pure force of nature.

“The segment's total package with equal parts tech, luxury, and sportiness.”

Total package? Car and Driver isn't talking about the BMW 3-series. Or even the recently-redesigned Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

In a decision arrived at through extensive and rigorous vehicle testing, the segment-leading entry-level luxury car is the 2017 Audi A4 sedan.

But we're not particularly surprised.

At Audi Northlake, we've been so fortunate to be able to work with some truly amazing people, both at the dealership and out in our community. We work hard at what we do to make sure that we always have the opportunity to be involved, and give back. Every car sold, ever vehicle service, and part purchased gives us the chance to serve our friends and neighbors.

Through the efforts of our local team, Audi Northlake is proud to announce our "adoption" of the Berryhill School in Charlotte.

 

There are world leaders who are destined to go down in history for their intelligence, their disciplined and powerful authority, or their dynamic, tactical prowess. World leaders whose superior spirit and brilliance are enough to change the tides of the future.

And then, there's the new Audi R8.

A world leader that has already driven its way into the history books in Charlotte, and is ready to add a whole new chapter.

After stealing hearts with "Commander" back in early February, the Audi R8 was just recently named the 2016 World Performance Car in the World Car Awards.

Consumer Reports--one of the most trusted and respected names around Charlotte for online product and technology reviews--recently released their list of which car brands make the best vehicles. And if you could possibly imagine, Audi was sitting quite comfortably in the number one spot.

While the products review site did rank 30 different auto brands, we felt that sharing the top ten alone was adequate. If you're interested in seeing the rest of the list, you can find the full rankings online.
