The A4 SUV is the choice for those who value substance over flash.
Turbo engine packs a punch · Technology is user-friendly
Infotainment system bugs · Stiff ride without upgrades
The 2026 Audi A4 SUV is all about the essentials done right. With its potent 2.0T turbo four-cylinder engine, it delivers a satisfying 201 horsepower, making daily drives and weekend getaways equally enjoyable. While it may not turn heads like some of its more flamboyant rivals, it wins us over with its refined balance of performance and comfort. The technology suite is intuitive, and the available premium audio system is a treat for audiophiles. However, we did find the ride a bit stiff unless you opt for the upgraded suspension. And, the infotainment system could use a software patch to iron out some bugs. If you're shopping for an SUV that prioritizes driving dynamics and understated elegance, the A4 should be on your list.
Our pick: 40 TFSI Premium Plus ($48,395)
vs. 2026 Mercedes-Benz C-Class: While the C-Class offers a more luxurious interior and brand prestige, the A4 excels with its better performance and value for money.
