2018 Audi Ratings, Reviews and Awards

Audi’s updates for 2018 seem like few, but considering it has several vehicles in its lineup, the overall shifts, upgrades, and tweaks were significant. Audi focused mostly on minor style changes and new standard features in most vehicles, like improving the Q5 cockpit and adding keyless ignition to the Q7. The A3 got a few small changes, like an updated infotainment system and heated seats, as did the A7 with its slight boost in horsepower, and the S7, which received a new sport exhaust option. The most significant changes came to the A5 line, which got a massive overhaul this year with new coupe, convertible, and hatchback body styles. Each configuration comes with a power-packed, turbocharged engine, standard all-wheel-drive, rearview camera, and Apple and Android integration, while upper trims boast perks like memory front seats with heaters and more driver’s assistance technology. The A8 went mostly unchanged this year after Audi announced its plans for an overhaul in 2019.
