The Audi name was born in 1909, when August Horch translated his surname into Latin. Today, the badge recognises the four companies that merged to create the brand as we know it. At the moment, there are 14 models in its lineup, ranging from the A1 city hatchback to the V10-powered R8.
Audi only offers one petrol version of its Q7. Let's see why that may be.
Audi's 2021 SQ5 is once again a standout in a segment that it effectively started. Fast and capable, it's as at home around town as it is on a flowing country road.
The facelifted Q2 continues Audi's product assault across nearly every segment, and with a three-grade range, there's something to suit most tastes and budgets.
Audi's first SQ2 in Australia is on sale now, and it's got the performance chops to match the sharp styling and standard inclusions.
They once ruled the driveways and roads of Australia’s wealthiest postcodes, a four-wheeled sign you had made it in life. Large sedans wearing badges, predominantly from Germany, sometimes England, oozed prestige, with big powerful engines matched only by large, comfortable interiors...
While the laws of physics dictate heavy and tall sporty SUVs will never imitate a true sports car, several manufacturers have proven that driving enjoyment can indeed be derived from this vehicle type. BMW was one of the first with its 2009 X5 M – and the third-generation version is among our finalists here...
Identifiable thanks to revised styling and an upgraded interior, the 2021 Audi SQ5 continues Audi’s fine S-badged SUV tradition with the model that is perhaps the best example in its model range.
At the local launch, we’re driving the 35TFSI and 40TFSI Quattro S Line grades, with full pricing and specification detail in our news story. The 1.5-litre 35TFSI starts from $42,900 before on-road costs, while the 2.0-litre 40TFSI starts from $49,900 before on-road costs.
I’m still genuinely amazed every time I lay eyes on a first-generation Audi R8. Its design really came to fruition in 2003 with the Audi Le Mans quattro concept. The production car, which followed three years later in 2006, didn’t deviate much from the original brief at all. Consider that the first-generation car was conceptualised at the turn of the century, then...
Second-generation versions of the Q3 and GLA have both turned up in 2020. We find out which is the better German compact luxury SUV.
Audi’s high-performance crossover takes on Mercedes-AMG’s hyper-hatch in a battle of racy compacts.
The all-new 2022 Audi RS3 performance hatchback and sedan will feature an electronic “drift mode" in a range-wide first for the Volkswagen subsidiary. When engaged, the setting – known as 'torque rear' mode – is capable of sending "up to" 1750Nm to either the left or right rear wheel (whichever is under primary load during a corner) through the engagement of two independent axle-mounted clutches (shown below)...
Audi Australia has recalled 57 examples of the 2020 Audi A6 and 2020 Audi A7. According to the recall notice lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), "due to a manufacturing issue with the vehicle's dash panel, the front passenger airbag may not fully inflate in the event of an accident...
The next-generation 2022 Audi RS3 hatch and sedan have been teased for the first time – and the high-performance compact cars are all but confirmed to continue with turbocharged five-cylinder power...
The 2022 Audi S3 is due to go on sale in Australia in late 2021 with one highly-specified variant, a handful of options and a fully-featured 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, CarAdvice can reveal – though questions still remain over how much it will cost...
I thought I should review my wife’s car. Back in 2011 we had our own mini-1970’s oil crisis, pulling a 3.5-tonne horse float with a Toyota LandCruiser featuring the 4.7-litre petrol V8. We could barely get from one petrol station to the next. Jenni had been resisting buying a diesel for the usual feminine reasons, filthy diesel nozzles, hoses, bowsers, sharing space with trucks, but much of that seems to have improved...
From a young age, like all young boys, I took a keen interest in all things that moved, especially trains. I didn’t have a particularly strong passion for cars until 2012 when my father borrowed my grandfather’s 2001 Audi A6 4.2 FSI Quattro to drive while he looked for a new car...
This is my first experience of an Audi and it was third in line behind Mercedes and BMW sixes. The Mercedes was a disappointment to drive, and this Audi represented far better bang for bucks than BMW. Having owned a Volvo already, another one of these would have been first choice, but I wanted a six-cylinder and they do not exist under the Volvo brand...
This is my third A4. My first experience with a German car was an A4 B5 2.4-litre V6 quattro with a 5-speed manual. The second was the A4 B6 1.8-litre S-line quattro with a 6-speed manual. After 10 years of ownership and 220,000 kilometres, repairs and servicing were starting to cost more than the car was worth, so it was sold...
