2014 Audi A4 Avant plug in hybrid version

The next generation of the combination of lifestyle-dominated character.
Audi A4 in the fall of 2014 in the trade. As is known now, its already a short time later, following station wagon. For the A4 Avants successor (see photo montage above) is in the spring of 2015, which is only about half a year later to market than the new sedan.
2014 audi a4 avant
2014 audi a4 avant 

More than Avant Sportback
The new middle-class estate is more of a Sportback than a station wagon. He is to hold its own against the new BMW 3 Series Touring, which was presented a few days ago for the first time. Particularly striking is the steep rear end combined with an unusually angled rear window. Provide particularly narrow front headlights, which will also be available with all-LED technology, striking for a look. The upper edges of the single-frame grille is still slanted more. Otherwise, the newcomer very similar to its predecessor, which in view of the good sales figures certainly not a mistake. The lifestyle estate car and slims from: Thanks to an increased aluminum content of the new Audi A4 Avant is about 100 pounds lighter than its predecessor. This is around six percent lighter than the current model, which leads depending on the equipment and engine about 1,500 kilos.

Wide range of engines
Engines are the same as in the saloon. The turbocharged gasoline engines output 143 (1.4 TFSI), 177 and 225 hp (both 2.0 TFSI). When the diesels can choose the customers for engines with 122, 150, 197, 218 and 272 hp. There will also be a plug-in hybrid version that can be up to 25 kilometers purely on electric power.

Top 25 Best Selling Cars In Canada 2014 Year End

2014 Honda Civic
The Honda Civic was Canadas best-selling car in 2014, the 17th consecutive year in which the Civic has topped Canadas car sales leaderboard. Although the Civic hasnt been Canadas best-selling vehicle overall since 2008, Civic volume in 2014 reached its highest point since then. 


• All Vehicles Ranked By December & 2014 Year End Canadian Sales
• Canada Car Sales Rankings By Model - December & 2014 Year End


The Civic accounted for nearly 9% of all Canadian passenger car sales in 2014, up from just over 8% in 2013. As the car market stumbled - and the overall auto industry soared to record highs - Civic sales increased. Its top competitor, the Hyundai Elantra, slid 8%, but its fall wasnt sufficient for the surging Toyota Corolla to grab the number two spot.

Canadas top-selling midsize car in 2014 was the ninth-ranked Fusion. But like the second and third and fourth-ranked midsize cars, Fusion sales dropped in 2014. 

Canadas leading subcompact was the Hyundai Accent. With 23,173 sales, the Accent sold more often in 2014 than at any time since 2010. Combined with the second-ranked subcompact, the Accent-platform-sharing Kia Rio, Hyundai-Kia sold 37,631 subcompacts in Canada in 2014.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these best-selling cars can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBCs Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well. GoodCarBadCar has already published the list of Canadas best-selling trucks, will soon publish a list of Canadas best-selling SUVs in 2014, and has also posted December-specific editions.

Top 25 Best Selling SUVs In America 2014 Year End

2015 Honda CR-V profile
The Honda CR-V was Americas best-selling SUV in 2014, the CR-Vs third consecutive year atop the SUV/crossover leaderboard. 

Trailing the CR-V were vehicles as rugged as the Jeep Wrangler (ranked ninth), as quiet as the Lexus RX (ranked 15th), as big as the Chevrolet Tahoe (ranked 20th), and as competitive as the Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4, Chevrolet Equinox, Nissan Rogue, and Jeep Cherokee, which ranked second, third, fourth, sixth, and eighth, respectively, in calendar year 2014.


• U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - 2014 Year End
• U.S. SUV/Crossover Sales Rankings By Model - 2014 Year End


The CR-V took over from the Ford Explorer in 2007 and has only looked back once, in 2011, when the Ford Escape stole its crown. Like the CR-V (and RAV4, and Equinox, and Rogue), the Escape reported record U.S. sales this last year. 

Meanwhile, the Ford Explorer, a dominant SUV of the past, is not forgotten. Explorer sales jumped 9% to 209,994 units in 2014, enough for fifth place overall and the Explorers best U.S. sales year since 2005.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these best-selling SUVs can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBCs Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well. GoodCarBadCar has already published the list of Americas best-selling trucks and will shortly publish the list of best-selling cars in 2014 and also December-specific editions.
