That’s a pretty laughable statement unless you’re in Europe and get the lower trims we don’t. Pretty much all car reviews put the A4 in the luxury sedan segment[1]. Not the segment with the Accord or Camry.

Following your logic the model 3 isn’t a luxury car either.

Obviously different markets classify "luxury cars" is very different ways leading to the confusion e.g.

Those are not mid size sedans. Some of those are not even Sedans like the Range Rover and I-Pace.

The point I was trying to make is that different markets define "luxury" in different ways - I don't think anyone here in the UK would call an Audi A4 a luxury car - even at its highest spec level.

Edit: Sort of reminds me of the differences in defining "class" between the US and the UK :-)
