For 2021, Audi introduces a more affordable base model that features the Premium designation.

It can also be equipped with the Convenience Plus package, which includes driver assists such as adaptive cruise control.
PROS Whisper-quiet operation, luxurious state-of-the-art cabin, tows up to 4000 pounds.
CONS Other luxury EVs have more range, not very engaging behind the wheel, none of the flashiness exhibited by rivals.
Pros Lots of cargo room in both the standard and extended-length versions Easy-to-use tech interface Strong turbocharged V6 has ample power for towing Plenty of standard and optional advanced driver aids
Cons Limited off-road capability Too large for some garages
Lincoln's flagship SUV has received a styling update for 2022 which includes a reworked grille and new exterior lighting elements. The interior has been enhanced with a new infotainment display with updated Sync 4 software, and two new design themes.
