Audi dealerships have good reason to smile. Audi recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Audi 5000’s storied appearance in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and just unveiled its next-generation A8 luxury sedan. The news gets even better: Cars.com just named the Audi A4 as the Best Luxury Sports Sedan of 2017.
As announced, Cars.com tested model-year 2017 cars from the luxury sports sedan segment in order to rank the options available to shoppers. Cars.com tested vehicles such as the Alfa Romeo Giulia, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Cadillac ATS, Jaguar XE, Lexus IS and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The results of the evaluation:
- 2017 Audi A4
- 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia
- 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
- 2017 Cadillac ATS
- 2017 Jaguar XE
- 2017 BMW 3 Series
- 2017 Lexus IS
Joe Wiesenfelder, Cars.com executive editor and Luxury Sports Sedan Challenge judge, noted that the A4 is especially appealing because of factors such as its power, brake-pedal feel, surefooted all-wheel drive, excellent space, quality, and comfort.
