When enthusiasts of a car hear that there's an all-new model coming down the pike, only minimum time is spent admiring its fresh new looks. Because after all, the most important thing to the fans of a car isn't looks, but the experience of driving one. If this recent first-drive report from Consumer Reports is anything to go by, the 2017 Audi A4 will more than live up to its reputation.

The new A4 rides on a larger and lighter platform, which aids in its style as well as making it more performance oriented. Only one engine is available for 2017--a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic--which provides smooth access to all 252 horsepower. As with other new Audi models, the four rings have employed an entire suite of technology, ranging from Virtual Cockpit to Traffic Jam Assist, all of which are getting high marks.

To get more impressions on the new A4, watch the video above. To experience it for yourself, contact our Audi dealership in Rockville, MD and set up a test drive at your convenience.
