Audi has rolled out a new concept vehicle called the Audi AI:TRAIL quattro. The automaker says that the concept is the off-roader for the future of road transportation. The Audi AI:TRAIL quattro is a four-seat vehicle that has what Audi claims to be unrivaled all-around visibility.
The first-generation Audi RS7 Sportback was a marvelous car, but it had some quirks. With only seating for four inside, the promise of a high-speed luxury sedan with coupe-styling felt a little cramped. Now, Audi is changing all this and more with the second-gen 2020 Audi RS7 Sportback. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but I'm a big fan of the new design, and crucially it doesn’t look like a regular A7 Sportback. Indeed, the only shared elements between the base model and the RS7 are the roof, hood, front doors, and tailgate. Everything else is unique.
2019 marks Formula E’s fifth year of staging races in major cities around the world, and early skepticism around whether electric cars could capture race-fans' imaginations seem finally to have been dispatched. The chassis, brakes, battery and tires are the same for the 11 teams and 22 cars. It’s a team’s intellectual property - the electric motor, inverter, gearbox, and battery/thermal management software – that separates the winners from the losers.
Welcome to America, 2020 Audi RS6 Avant! The unicorn with near-mythical status in the US makes its debut stateside for the first time later in 2020, the German automaker has confirmed, now in its fourth-generation and packing some serious V8 muscle along with a mild-hybrid powertrain. Frankly speaking, it’s still a mystery to me why station wagons lost their allure in the US. It must be everyone’s thirst for big, hulking land yachts or maybe the stigma of being seen in a boring, plebeian family car. I’m here to tell you first-hand that the 2020 Audi RS6 Avant is going to be anything but boring.
Audi's e-tron SUV may not have been the first all-electric luxury car to US roads, but it can claim to be the first such vehicle to get a 2019 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating. The new fully battery-electric SUV has managed to scoop rivals like the Tesla Model X and Mercedes-Benz EQC to the independent safety test's top score.
Audi's strategy with the 2019 Q3 SUV may be simple, but it's playing the long game. Give owners a taste of that sweet four-rings goodness, get them hooked, and then turn them into lifelong Audi fans. The compact luxury crossover category represents rich pickings, too, if you can get those first impressions just right.
Audi's e-tron range of EVs is getting a new addition, though the latest member of the line-up is a whole lot smaller than you might expect from the automaker. The Audi e-tron Scooter isn't going to get you as much range as, say, the 2019 e-tron Quattro SUV, but it's designed to tackle the last mile of zero-emission journeys.
Audi has unveiled the latest entry in the A1 line, and the vehicle is called the A1 citycarver. The A1 citycarver is based on the A1 Sportback in Technology and design. The car measures 13.3-feet long and has increased ground clearance by 2-inches.
Audi has revealed its first compact crossover, and if the 2020 Q3 Sportback is the shape of things to come then consider us interested. A small SUV, with crossover dimensions and a coupe-esque sloping roofline at the rear, the Q3 Sportback promises driving dynamics to match, too.
When most people think of an armored vehicle, they think of the trucks that drive money around for banks or military vehicles. A company based in Wyoming called AddArmor has created what it claims to be the world's fastest armored vehicle. The car it chose for its bulletproof creation is the Audi RS7.
Audi has announced that the 2019 Audi A6 is bringing with it more value to the mid-size sedan segment for the automaker. The 2019 A6 gets an all-new 2.0L TFSI four-cylinder that makes 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The engine can push the car to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.
The road to electrification seldom goes smoothly, and Audi is getting its first taste of that with an proactive safety recall for some of its 2019 e-tron electric SUVs. Approximately 540 cars already delivered to buyers are being affected, the automaker confirmed today, over a possible issue that could affect the battery. However, Audi says, no actual incidents have been reported worldwide.
