The CarAdvice team travels around the globe each year to delve into the world of car technology. So, when CarAdvice reader Trent asked what we actually do at these events, we decided to go behind the scenes at an Audi Tech Day in Germany to show you, the reader, what happens.
Black is the new, um, black, in the automotive world. And now Audi has joined the party with the A4 Black Edition. But does the addition of some styling elements and a beefier suspension come with a commensurate lift in performance?
I don't understand why people aren't buying more wagons. Alright, I do understand it. It's my job, after all, to know how the market works and what draws people to the latest trends. What I mean, is: if you've bought a passenger car and it isn't a wagon, you've made the wrong choice. ("Flame suit on", "Come at me bro", "Don't @ me", et cetera...
The CarAdvice Melbourne garage has welcomed another new long-term tester – say hello to 'Aldo' the Audi A3 2.0 TFSI Sport Limited Edition. Priced from $48,000 before on-road costs (or $48,900 drive-away), the 2.0 TFSI Sport Limited Edition builds on the specification of the standard 'Sport' sedan variant by adding the usually optional Assistance Package and Technik Package as standard equipment, which normally ask for $1500 and $2900 respectively...
As the floodgates on our new EV future open, Audi presents its offer in the form of the new e-tron electric SUV. Expect it here in the third quarter of 2019.
The Audi RS4 Avant is a family hauler that truly hauls arse, in a straight line and through corners alike, and it does it in all conditions. No other luxury wagon outside the Audi stable can claim that in quite so angry a fashion. While I do dig the C63 Estate, I reckon it just isn't quite the headturner that this baddie clearly is...
You told us you don't trust the traditional 'Car of the Year' format favoured by most publishers, and you wanted to know more about our own personal faves, objectivity be damned. Well, here it is. Get the full story right here. NOTE: This video was first published on December 18.
To say that the Audi A8 is packed with features and technology may be the understatement of 2018. In fact, when we tested the A8 recently, we felt the depths of technological talents deserved their own story. Join us on this guide to just what Audi’s A8 is capable of...
Rob Margeit comes to grips with Audi's new, punchier, bigger and more refined A1 hatch.
Audi R8 RWS and McLaren 540C duke it out to see which is the best 'affordable' everyday supercar.
From our vantage point, there’s barely a volume carmaker of note without a small crossover SUV – a high-riding hatchback with attitude designed for young up-and-comers and well-funded downsizers in equal measure...
You could call a comparison between the 2018 Audi RS5 and 2018 BMW M4 Competition a battle of ethos. A battle, if you will, of two different ways of solving the same problem. Which problem? Delivering a blindingly fast, somewhat affordable track weapon that needs to be used every day. It’s not an easy conundrum to solve either...
Mercedes-Benz remains the world’s most popular luxury car brand, outselling its German arch-rivals BMW and Audi for the third successive year. Combined sales of Mercedes-Benz cars and SUVs were 2,310,185 units last calendar year, up 0.6 per cent on 2017. This doesn't include vans, which are sold by a distinct organisation. But it was a close-run thing...
The updated 2019 Audi TT S has been revealed, ahead of its Australian arrival in the second quarter of 2019. Following on from the standard range, the updated TT S coupe and convertible get new bumpers with horizontal 'blades', along with aluminium-look accents for the splitter, air inlets and trim strips as standard...
Pressure is mounting on luxury car brands to boost their warranties to five years or more, now that nine of the Top 10 brands offer extended coverage as standard. In particular the decision by car giants Toyota and Volkswagen to increase their warranties from three to five years from January 1, 2019 has made it increasingly difficult for their respective luxury affiliates Lexus and Audi to hold out...
Photographers have snapped the next Audi RS Q3 during cold weather testing in Sweden this week, ahead of an anticipated production debut later this year. While the prototype you see here hasn't dropped much camouflage, if any, though onlookers noted the exhaust note indicated the vehicle was powered by a five-cylinder engine...
By accident I appear to have become a place of refuge for the unloved high-kilometre Audi. Having previously written an owner review of my ’06 Audi A3 with 216,000km on the odo’, I am now the proud owner of a 1999 Audi A4 1...
I’ve had my Audi for over 4 years now and have been meaning to write a review for most of that time. For an owner review, though, later is often better: by now I’ve got plenty of experience to share. I bought it in 2014 when I was looking at a car to replace my aging 2005 Lexus IS300...
My S3 gets the balance right. Friends told me the S3 is just a Golf R in a pretty dress. Not worth the extra outlay. Maybe, but my daily drive – VW’s Wolfsburg Edition Golf R – just didn’t feel like $61K worth (drive-away). Certainly a great car, but a lot of money for a Golf. I must admit, I’d been tempted by the seductive shape of Audi’s S3 sedan for some time...
The RS3 seems to be the car everyone is raving on about in the hot hatch world (yes, I realise this review is about the sedan!). I got caught up in the hype and bought a brand-new one in late 2017, and it arrived early 2018. I have had my Audi RS3 sedan for about 2.5 months now and have covered nearly 4000km in that time...
