2023 Audi Cars: Changes to A3, RS5, S6, and E-Tron GT Stand Out
Most of Audi’s car models gain more content this year.
Continual improvement is the theme for Audi’s 2023 car lineup. The brand applies a smattering of enhancements across its range, even to cars that debuted only a year ago. Most of the updates entail minor feature, package, or stylistic changes. Although that’s the case for the S6 and S7, these sporty Audis also get a reworked engine that promises livelier performance. Click through to see what’s new on every 2023 Audi car—just keep in mind supply chain constraints may inhibit availability of some of the features listed here. Ask your Audi dealer for details.
What’s New for 2023: Audi
Audi ramps up for the 2023 model year with more standard equipment across its lineup of tech-forward luxury cars and SUVs, and a planned expansion of its E-Tron brand of electric vehicles.
Audi’s been pushing for matrix LED headlights for some time, and thanks to U.S. regulators finally relaxing an arcane rule separating high beams from low beams, many 2023 Audis will come standard with adaptive matrix LED headlights. But, an Audi representative told us the lights “are not active at this time” and they don’t have any additional insight for now.
This style of light design can shut off certain LED cells to keep from blinding oncoming motorists while still illuminating the road and roadsides. The previous iteration of adaptive headlights would automatically shut off high beams when it detected an approaching car. The matrix-style adaptive headlights read the road and other cars better, and adjust its projections accordingly.
Electric vehicles remain a priority for VW’s luxury brand. After much delay, Audi expects the Q4 and Q4 Sportback electric crossovers to go on sale later this year, and bolster its claim that it will have more battery electric vehicles on sale in the U.S. than any other luxury brand. That could include the next iteration of the R8 supercar. Audi EVs still qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit.
Here are the changes big and small lighting up Audi’s path to 2023.
New models
Audi Q4 and Q4 Sportback E-Tron

2022 Audi RS 3

8.9DISCONTINUED AUDI MODELS
Audi AG is a German-based subsidiary of the venerable Volkswagen Group and a mainstream producer of luxury vehicles in the US. The now-popular brand has worked long and hard to establish itself within the highly competitive segment, where it’s now aptly positioned alongside the most famous premium logos out there.
A few things make Audi’s cars stand out from the rest, though, such as the comparatively lower pricing of Audi’s cars against similar rivals. The range is extensive and comprises a variety of different types of cars to meet just about every taste and need. So, without further ado, here’s the latest Audi lineup.
The Types of Audi Vehicles
- Coupes and Convertibles: These are the sportiest and most lifestyle-centric Audi cars. They’re typically performance-oriented and are outfitted with a very driver-centric cabin, sporting the brand’s patented ‘virtual cockpit’ display. If you’re looking for a proficient Audi Series purposed for enjoyable and skilled driving without any compromise in ride quality and a luxurious cabin, this is the list to pick from.
- Sportbacks and Sedans: For an inconspicuously proficient type of Audi that’s designed with a classy, sophisticated philosophy, this is the list of models to peruse. These are for the leisure-seekers wanting to enjoy their daily commutes in complete and consistent comfort. The potent powertrains are there only to guarantee competent and congruous performance in all on-road conditions. The casual series’ lineup is perhaps the most reliable on offer from the manufacturer.
- SUVs and Wagons: SUVs and crossovers alike are the most popular types of motors in America. They’re the most versatile, practical, and well-rounded automobiles, and arguably some of the best Audi vehicles, too. They’re competent and capable on the road, so enthusiasts will enjoy them, and they’re compliant and comfortable, too, so casual drivers should be pleased as well. On top of those benefits, they’re impressively utilitarian, too, by virtue of their commodious interiors and expansive trunks.
The Best Audi Models in the USA
- R8 Coupe: According to CarBuzz’s Audi reviews, this is the premier offering from the automaker and the finest supercar in the segment. It delivers nigh-unbeatable straight-line and cornering prowess and it has the aggressive aesthetics to match. Under its hood is a 5.2-liter V10 mill available in two states of tune for outputs of either 562 or 602 horsepower. A seven-speed automatic gearbox forwards power to a standard-fit quattro all-wheel-drive system.
- RS 7: The 2021 version of the RS 7 is already scheduled to debut. It’ll cost around $110,000 to park in your garage but that earns you a contemporary and stylish full-size saloon that’s prepped with a mighty 4.0-liter TFSI twin-turbocharged V8. An eight-speed automated transmission does duty, directing outputs to a quattro AWD setup.
- e-tron Sportback: The all-new, re-envisioned version of the e-tron is a pure EV midsize SUV. There are three trims to choose from, all fitted with a 95 kWh battery pack augmented with two electric motors. A single-speed electronic transmission deals with things between the powertrain and all four corners of the EV.
