The Audi RS4 Avant, which only launched in the UK in 2017, gets a bit of a facelift for 2019, bringing RS6 Avant looks and other minor updates. It’s only two years since the new Audi RS4 Avant arrived as Audi delivered their hot, relatively compact, estate car to the market. And it’s a very […]
New Audi RS Q3 and RS Q3 Sportback twins arrive with 395bhp
The new Audi RS Q3 and RS Q3 Sportback arrive with the same 395bhp 2.5 litre five-cylinder engine as the Audi RS 3. On sale in the UK early 2020. We all know Audi loves a niche, and performance compact SUVs are a niche. But if you’re going to fill a niche, why not find […]
Audi AI:Trail Quattro is an electric Audi off-road concept – a ‘Could’ or a ‘Will’?
With the Frankfurt Motor Show looming, Audi gives us a first look at the Audi AI:Trail Quattro, a four-wheel drive electric off-road concept. Audi likes an electric concept or three to show what it could do, although the ‘could‘ has always been more prevalent than the ‘will‘ in the past. In the past we’ve had […]
New Audi RS6 Avant arrives with a 592bhp V8
The new Audi RS6 Avant arrives to take on the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S, complete with a very butch body makeover and 592bhp from its 4.0 litre petrol V8. You might be forgiven for thinking Audi has decided to make all its performance models diesel only, what with the new Audi SQ8 and SQ7 only […]
Audi E-Tron 50 – it’s a cheaper E-Tron electric SUV
Audi is delivering a cheaper version of the e-tron – the Audi e-tron 50 – with a smaller battery pack, less power and a shorter range. It will be cheaper. Probably. It’s six months since the Audi e-tron went on sale, officially as the e-tron 55, as Audi joined the Jaguar i-Pace and Mercedes EQC […]
Audi A1 Citycarver – Audi’s A1 ‘Allroad’ arrives
Audi adds to its ‘Allroad’ offerings with the Audi A1 Citycarver, a half-way house between an Audi Q1 and Audi A1 with raised ride height and butch looks. There’s been talk of an Audi A1 Allroad or Audi Q1 for a decade, but as all things with a raised ride height appear to sell at […]
Audi Q3 Sportback: Another day, yet another Audi SUV
The Audi Q3 Sportback arrives as a new take on Audi’s Q3, delivering a more ‘lifestyle’ product to take on growing competition in the sector. If it’s Audi news you want at the moment, it’s going to be Audi SUV news. Yesterday we had the arrival of the new SQ7, at the end of last […]
New Audi SQ7 TDI joins the rest of the facelifted Q7 range
An updated version of the range-topping Audi SQ7 arrives to join the updated Q7 range complete with powertrain from the SQ8. It’s three years since Audi’s range-topping SQ7 arrived with 429bhp of diesel power and a big wedge of torque to shift Audi’s big SUV at a rate of knots almost unseemly for a diesel-engined […]
New Audi S8 ARRIVES – thankfully, with a 563bhp V8
The new Audi S8 arrives as the performance take on Audi’s Flagship A8, complete with 563bhp 4.0 litre V8, four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. We had begun to wonder if Audi had, rather perversely, decided that, despite its demonization, diesel-engined performance models were going to be de riguer. After all, the SQ7 is a diesel […]
Audi Q7 Facelift delivers a dose of Q8, mild hybrid and new interior
Audi’s big Q7 SUV gets a facelift, with new 48V mild hybrid tech, a new interior and a look which takes it closer to the Audi Q8. Audi’s Q7 may not be the pick of big ‘Premium’ SUVs, but it’s loved by those who buy it and does a decent job of shifting up to […]
