Audi SUVs and Crossovers
Car and Driver’s ratings and rankings are arrived at from the results of our extensive instrumented testing of several hundred vehicles each year and from our expert editors’ subjective impressions gained in real-world driving. We have rated Audi SUVs on a 10-point scale based on roughly 200 data points encompassing acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, value, and how enjoyable they are to drive. We then use those ratings to rank them against the other vehicles in their segment. We take ratings and rankings seriously because we want you to know everything about the vehicles that you’re interested in.
