Reviews Summary

In the $40,000 range, Audi meets your cargo-hauling needs in three different ways. There is the Audi Q5, which is an SUV. There is the Audi A4 Allroad, a station wagon wearing an SUV costume. And there is the new 2018 Audi A5 Sportback, a 5-door hatch blending style, performance, and utility in equal measure.

Reviews Summary

The modern crossover SUV is ubiquitous on American roads. They're bought for their roomy interiors, tall seating positions, flexible utility, and all-wheel-drive systems that add traction when the snow flies. For the most part, though, they all look alike, and that’s boring. Enter the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon, a delightfully stylish alternative to what has become the status quo.
