Top 5 Modern Audi Cars (2020s)
The top 5 Audi cars of the 2020s include some epically great cars and a preview of the company’s electric future.
With the dawn of the 2020s, it was clear to Audi that the future of electric cars had arrived. Rather than go a different direction with styling, the company styled its new all-electric models with its current design language. In turn, it used its new electric models to help evolve that design language, leading to a cohesive lineup of electric and gasoline-powered vehicles.
At the same time, Audi was not content to let its gasoline-powered cars coast through the 2020s without updates. Performance continued to improve as vehicles got faster and more fuel efficient. Styling continued to evolve with technology as vehicles received all-glass instrument panels, additional driver aids, and more connectivity options. It’s a period of transition for Audi, but as the company has shown in the past, it’s also an opportunity to reinvent itself while keeping the best parts of Audi.
5. Audi S3
Redesigned for 2022, the Audi S3 is the middle child between the mild-mannered A3 and the attention-seeking RS3. But while middle children sometimes get overlooked, this one deserves your full attention. The inline-five turbo produces 306 horsepower, launching the S3 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. It’s easier to live with than the RS3 and more entertaining than the base A3, occupying the sweet spot of small performance sedans.
