You’ve got your pick when it comes to compact luxury cars in Charlotte.

North Carolina is a hub of premium vehicles and luxury brands, catering to those who love to travel, those who yearn for comforts and connectivity, and those who simply love to drive.

And while the new 2018 Audi A4 is a top competitor in the area, it’s not without its competition.

See how the A4 sedan holds up to rivals from BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz.

 

 

Charlotte-area drivers interested in the new 2018 Audi A4 may be wondering what changes they'll be seeing--if any. After all, the A4 did just see a major model redesign for the previous model-year.

But, to continue building on an impressive streak of sales records, Audi is rolling out improvements across the model lineup, including for the 2018 Audi A4 luxury sedan.

We have no shortage of Audi A4 rants and raves on the Northlake blog; after its major 2017 redesign, it was hard not to talk about the new tech, powertrain upgrades, new styling, and classic Audi feel.

But one thing that might surprise you about the newest 2018 Audi A4 is Charlotte--is how surprisingly practical, efficient, and easy to own it really is. Luxury sport sedans are bold, fun, and full of personality. But the Audi A4 can take it one step further, by being the perfect driver's car as well as a premium commuter car.

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:

 

“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.

Re-setting the bar once again for compact sport sedan performance, the 2017 Audi A4 sedan marries form and function in a more beautiful way than ever before.

Its style and definition combines classic Audi capability with a modern design that was built inch by inch to deliver optimal performance in the city, on the highway, and even on off-pavement roads, thanks to available quattro all-wheel drive. Its stunning new suite of available comfort and convenience…

Drivers across the country have been thrown for a loop by El Nino this year.

Record high and low temperatures in regions all across the nation, record rains and record snows.
