AUDI Q3


If you love SUV and wants the elegance of German car technology, within your budget then think the class, elegance and luxury of Audi. Yes, Audi is going to launch Audi Q3 a new compact SUV as a competitor of BMW X6 with Quattro Concept (to be confirmed). A 2.0 liter turbo charged 4-cylinder Diesel or Gasoline engine with 6-speed automated-manual transmission for complete luxury and to rule the road. And also, you can win the attention of other with the S line exterior and interior styling with xenon headlamps with running LED lamps and LED rear tail lights and a top speed of 143 mph.

AUDI S4


What does the Audi S4 have to say to its competition?  Supercharged.  Dual Clutch Transmission.  Torque Vectoring Rear Differential.  Them’s fightin’ words!  Well we managed to get our hands on a 2011 Audi S4 Premium + with the DSG transmission (Audi’s Dual Clutch) and Sport Rear Differential.  But does it have the guts to take on its Bavarian brother?
(More after the jump)
It was only a few years ago when the tables were turned and the world was comparing a 333hp M3 to a 400+hp RS4.   Now, the 2011 S4 (B8 body style) has a 333 horsepower v6 whereas the M3 has a 414 horsepower v8.  It is borderline absurd to compare the two cars with such a horsepower discrepancy and what’s more, the M3 costs between $15 to $20,000 more.  Even AUDI doesn’t try to compare the car – they have claimed that its a competitor to BMW’s 335.  So what are we smoking?

AUDI A8


The latest A8 utilizes Audi's new, super-flexible "MLP" architecture. This is the same chassis used for the A4, A5 and the upcoming A7. The A8 sees extensive use of aluminum and magnesium in an effort to keep the large sedan's weight down.


Audi says the new A8 is the sportiest sedan in the segment, aided by a low center of gravity and the lowest roofline of any German rival. Despite adding two inches to the length, width and wheelbase -- and one additional inch of height -- Audi reckons handling has actually improved.

AUDI TT




Few things command respect as an Audi car and very few cars in history would go down and scream that my design language is original. Moreover, with the few cars around here, there is very much a chance that the TT would indeed be a part of all the brouhaha over their design language. Infact, every iteration of the Audi TT has been a revelation in itself. Over the years, the Audi TT diversified into various other branches such as a convertible form and the original coupe form. The earlier Audi TT was a wonderful car and the new 2011 Audi TT bows down to the rigors of the new age Audi styling with a front end which has been hopped up a bit. Now, the Audi doesn’t get styling updates too often, plus there is a new style mantra going on in Audi. We got a 2011 Audi TT for a review with us, though, it was there only for 2 days, but still each and every road tester out here could manage to envisage a glimpse of what the TT has to offer with respect to real life practicality and also fun at the same time.

AUDI A1


Behind the long doors you'll find one of the classiest cabins in this class. The facia combines Audi's exemplary switches and dials with the Polo's bullet-proof build quality. Most of what you see and touch is delightfully finished – especially the curved seats, which are supportive and very comfortable. The knurled metal heater controls are simply perfect and Audi has miniaturised the A8 limo's second-generation multimedia interface with wit and charm.
The penalty is a lack of storage space around the front-seat passengers, with tiny door pockets. And from the front seats backwards, the accommodation gets meaner and less well finished. The twin rear seats might look good, but they aren't suitable for anyone taller than 6ft. The boot is large, however, and if you delete the spare wheel you get secret space beneath the floor.

AUDI A5


With the introduction of the A5 for 2008, Audi launched itself into a vehicle segment it had never competed in – one which has waned significantly over the past two decades. Not so long ago, the personal luxury coupe was one of the top selling segments in the U.S., but for a wide variety of reasons, the overall sales picture left it behind.


Now you might ask yourself, "How is an A5 in any way similar to the likes of a 1970s-era Chevrolet Monte Carlo or Ford Thunderbird?" At first glance, the A5 is something completely different, but when you dig below the surface, there are more similarities than one might think – particularly when considering the 2.0T model. Except for a few NASCAR-inspired specials, PLCs of the 1970s weren't typically performance machines anyway – they focused more on style and creature comforts. And it's here where the A5 delivers.

AUDI Q7


Reviewers appreciate the powerful engine options and upscale interior in the 2012 Audi Q7, but say that shoppers looking for a spacious third row should look elsewhere.
The automotive press agrees that the 2012 Audi Q7’s engine lineup and interior quality are its strong points. Whether shoppers choose the base gas-powered V6, the sportier S line trim or the TDI diesel engine, automotive writers say they’ll be happy. Reviewers also praise the Q7’s smooth ride and upscale interior, saying they combine to make the Audi Q7 an especially luxurious SUV.
But test drivers do have some bones to pick with this German family hauler. Some say that while the Q7 is too big on the outside, it’s too small on the inside. That means it’s hard to maneuver in parking lots, but its second and third rows still aren’t very accommodating for adults.
Overall, reviewers think that the Audi Q7 is a good buy for shoppers who put a priority on classy interior appointments, engine performance and capable driving manners. Otherwise, buyers who need a useable third row or who want a less-expensive option may want to look elsewhere.


AUDI A4


The Audi A4 holds the distinction of single-handedly reviving the Audi brand after its big sales slump some two decades ago. Launched in the mid-'90s, the A4 quickly proved a favorite among luxury-car buyers thanks to its handsome, well-finished cabin, sharp handling and available Quattro all-wheel drive. Tight panel gaps, high-quality materials and firm, comfortable seating give the interior the proper European ambience, while a supple ride and willing performance make the Audi A4 a great road trip choice.

AUDI A3

In crowded European cities, small, space-efficient vehicles are very popular because of their versatility, fuel-efficiency and nimble nature. These vehicles exist in America as well, but they are not typically offered by luxury automakers, as it's assumed that Americans associate compact vehicles with cheapness. One vehicle meant to break that tradition is the Audi A3.
Introduced a decade ago in Europe and brought to the United States in 2006, the A3 is Audi's entry-level model for the North American market. Smaller and lighter than an A4 2.0T Avant Quattro, the front-drive Audi A3 presents a strong argument for buying a bargain sport wagon, provided one goes easy on the options. And just because this is Audi's entry-level car doesn't mean the company cuts corners on quality. The cabin's design and materials are up to the lofty standards Audi has set for the industry, meaning everything fits tightly, moves with precision and looks and feels top-shelf.
