Top 3 Audi Cars As Rated By Edmunds

Several Audi vehicles have been acknowledged by leading automobile research information site Edmunds as having exceptionally impressive vehicles in 2014 and 2015. This year, the 2014 Top Rated Car Awards were awarded to the 2015 Audi A3, 2014 Audi A6 and 2014 Audi A8.

So how does Edmunds select which vehicles should be awarded as Top Rated Cars each year? The Edmunds Testing Team evaluates around 200 new vehicles by subjecting them to a series of tests. Each vehicle is taken out for a standardized road-test loop which tests the car in a controlled set of conditions. This performance is taken into account and is considered along with how the car measures up against other vehicles in the same price level and size class. Those that receive an “A” rating, like the Audi A3, Audi A6 and Audi A8, are then labeled as “Top Rated Cars.”

Additional Awards

Aside from the coveted “Top Rated Car” award, the 2014 Audi A6 was also named as one of the Most Popular Cars of 2014. That award is calculated by noting which vehicles are most searched for by the 18 million shoppers that visit Edmunds’ website each month. The A6 was one of the top three Midrange Luxury Cars searched for in the 2013 calendar year.

Impressive Engineering

Looking at these vehicles independently, it’s no surprise why they were awarded such distinguished accolades. The 2015 Audi A3, for example, has supple leather seating surfaces, a twelve-way power driver’s seat equipped with four-way power lumbar adjustment, and dual-zone automatic climate control all specially designed to create the most comfortable ride possible. The panoramic sunroof gives occupants a unique view of their surroundings while the LED daytime running lights and taillights make sure the world is easy to navigate.

The 2014 Audi A6 is an equally impressive car. When the 2.0L 4-Cylinder engine roars to life, the ride is not only exhilarating, but luxurious as well. The Audi Drive Select allows drivers to select from several pre-set modes to customize the throttle, transmission and steering for an individualized ride. Heated mirrors are a convenient way to thaw off any winter precipitation happening outside, while the three-zone automatic climate control keeps passengers content on the inside. With features like these, it’s no wonder the Audi A6 is so popular.

Under the hood of the 2014 Audi A8 is an 8-speed Shiftable Automatic transmission perfect for navigating busy city streets or winding country roads. Remote keyless power door locks and tire pressure monitoring combine the latest in automotive technology with safety precautions. Speed sensitive volume control automatically adjusts the volume of the music to the car’s surroundings and the Bose® premium brand speakers and stereo system turn this car into a concert hall. Additionally, the Audi A8 is outfitted with Bluetooth® wireless technology for hands-free voice calling.

These cars are impressive in their own right, but with the recognition from Edmunds, the world undoubtedly knows that Audi creates impressive, luxurious and desirable vehicles.
