If you're looking, plump-looking car that is capable in all kinds of weather, check the A7. Standard powertrain is a 333-hp, 3.0-liter supercharged V-6, mated to all-wheel drive via an eight-speed automatic. A 240-hp, turbo-diesel 3.0-liter V-6 is the choice for those looking for an impressive fuel economy. For more power saw S7, reviewed separately. Whatever your choice, each large model. May be expensive, but we thought it was worth.
1. Audi A7
Price:
$ 59,625 - $ 69,225

As you would expect at a price point and specs are available, the Audi A7 provide generous comfort and performance, so that the automotive indulge of order is quite high.
But that's not what sets it apart; there are many cars in this class are, in varying degrees, provide exactly the same. A7 What makes it special is that it is one of the rare pieces of kinetic sculpture that makes the owner grateful for the gift of sight.
Audi A7 to provide growing class called "four-door coupe," which has made a "coupe" word became almost as elastic and the same one sense-as a "crossover." According to Mr. Webster, the coupe is "closed, two-door car." This car has four doors, and the like fraternal twins who A6, it is in fact a sedan-though here the rear hatch.
Styling element that separates the A7 and others these types of vehicles Mercedes-Benz CLS and BMW 6-series Gran Coupe, say-is sloping roofline far back from the B-pillar, culminating in a fast backlight. It is the most common design elements for the contemporary coupe, so it seems to justify stretching to enter a car with four doors.
Semantics though, Audi execution of this design is the best of the bunch, and we were pleased to see that in this 2016 refresh Ingolstadt has had the good sense to refrain from making major changes. Grids are not so firm as 2015 models, LED lights and taillights take more than squint, and the exhaust gas outlet into a rectangle. That's enough
Always a strong suit of the Audi, the interior is tastefully luxurious, with an upgrade to the infotainment features and, in the test car Prestige-package-equipped us, it includes a head-up display, which is very helpful in a car with good speed mask. Helping other new items are standard blind-spot warning (Audi Side Assist call). Like the other car with a swoopy roofline, rear-quarter visibility A7 is a bit marginal.
More Pace
We mentioned the speed, and there are a lot of things on tap for 2016. Audi has another 23 horsepower mined from the output of A7 3.0-liter supercharged V-6, bringing the total to 333 at 6,500 rpm. Torque is unchanged at 325 lb-ft and comes on strong well into the rpm range.
Transmission, ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic, familiar as well, and although a shift that does not have the urgency right now Audi's dual-clutch automatic, prompt response to the paddle shifters and operating in full automatic mode basically smooth.
You would think the addition of 23 horses for the two-ton sedan will not make much difference in the statistics of the holiday, but you'd be wrong. Compared with the last one we tested A7 3.0, Model 2016 was almost half a second faster to 60 mph, in 4.7 seconds, and nearly a full second faster to 100 (11.8 ticks). It also knocked three tenths of a quarter of a mile predecessors, arrived with 2 more mph on the speedo (13.4 seconds at 105 mph). All this even though it weighs 4234 pounds, 56 pounds heavier than the old model.
The 2016 version is also more efficient, according to EPA-20 mpg city and 30 highway, compared to 18/28 for the 2015 car. That said, our legs heavy logged only 20 mpg during this test compared to 24 previously. Driver over-wise no doubt will do better. Interior noise level of other areas important improvements, trimming four decibels from previous car numbers in steady 70 mph.
Smooth Moves
A7 is a big car, and it was great-but never boring. Rapid response to helmets, body roll is simple, and if the steering is lifeless at parking-lot speeds, it obtains the appropriate level of effort and accuracy honored as the speed increases. Typical for the car all-wheel-drive large, when pushed hard A7 will show a progressive understeer-it is not a weapon-but autocross totally predictable in his manners, free of evil is real, and smooth even on the surface of gnarly.
Braking is powerful and fade-free, with a good stopping distances (166 feet from 70 mph), although we've seen better in other A7S. We put this to test our cars Continental ProContact TX (265 / 35-20) all-season tires. This also applies to
Losses? The least. Throttle tip-in can be a little abrupt than the rest-touch pedal produces sluggish response, shifted a little more to produce more than the driver might like. Audi's experts and software they need to tweak and zero in auto stop-start program, which is not as refined as some.
With a base price of $ 69,225, no one's going to call 2016. A7. And our test car is enhanced with $ 6200 worth of options: Prestige group ($ 2650; head-up display, Bose surround-sound audio, ventilated front seats, LED interior lighting); Optic black Package ($ 1,500; 20-inch wheels with a titanium matte finish, all-season tires); S line sport package ($ 1,000; sports suspension, S line exterior trim); Cold Weather Package ($ 500; heated steering wheel, heated rear seats); and silver metallic paint ($ 550).
For cars like us, you're talking $ 75,425, a hefty sum by the reckoning-and especially when you can have the same or similar performance from the more conservative A6 for some $ 10,000 less. On the other hand, the A7 is much cheaper than the swoopy "four-door coupe" rivals from BMW. And he has an eye-candy quotient that some-if any-could match.

$ 34,625

Although not the fastest or the most efficient of the invited infants, Q3 calmer and had a better trip than the competition. Powered by a 200-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four mated to an automatic, six-speed front-wheel drive is standard, and of course, the Quattro is optional. Q3 offers standard HID lamps, LED taillamps, electric heated leather seats, and a panoramic sunroof. Sport and Prestige package as well as the MMI nav, lane-change assist, power liftgate, and a Bose audio is available, too. Instrumented Test - 2015 Audi Q3 2.0T QuattroSee Features and Specifications20/28 mpgEPA7.8 sec0-60200 hpHP126 mphTop SpeedTested: 2015 Audi Q3 2.0T QuattroPrice:$ 32,225 - $ 34,225•Audi Q3Price:$ 33,425 - $ 35,525

2015 Audi Q3 2.0T QuattroAfter nearly three years sold in other markets, the Audi Q3 has finally come to America. Although not quite identical with Q3 sold elsewhere (we have a six-speed torque-converter automatic in a dual-clutch gearbox is used in other countries, for example), Q3 offers a lot of the same goodness of Q5 and Q7, in shrink, the size of the mini- ute.Slotting below the Q5, Q3 establishes a new entry point for the Audi sport-utes in the United States, giving the brand a competitor to the Mercedes-Benz GLA and BMW X1. Although relative of the Volkswagen Tiguan, chassis Q3 has more aluminum and high strength steel of VW colleagues. It does not, however, avail themselves of the latest MQB architecture that underlies the latest Audi A3 -which would have to wait for the second generation Q3.Price Versus ValueThe sample base price of four-wheel-drive we are $ 35,525, which sounds like a lot for a small car, but the interior appointments, design, and feel all top-notch. Genuine leather seats come standard, and the Audi Q3 gets MMI version ($ 1900 with navigation), infotainment interface which sets the bar high for such a system, at least for now.
Put that figure in context, we see that the version of four-wheel-drive BMW X1 starting around $ 2,000 lower, but, as we learned with our long-term X1 xDrive28i, model quickly became more expensive by choice. The Benz offers ranging $ 1,300 less than Q3, but does not have a dual-zone climate control, xenon headlights, heated seats and a panoramic sunroof that is standard in Q3. Add them to the GLA push prices several hundred dollars above $ 38,625 as tested our Q3 figure, which also comes with navigation, 19-inch wheels, and an electric hatch.Style, Space, Speed ​​(or lack thereof)At first glance, Q3 looks almost identical to the Q5. Without anything to put a smaller size in perspective, one could easily mistake it for its larger sibling. Open one of the doors or hatches, however, and a small interior clear. The driver and passenger space is more than sufficient, but higher front seat occupants will be forced encroachment on the second row legroom. And a rear cargo rather shallow. Despite its small size, however, Q3 gives high driving position that so many buyers want.
Q3, such as the Tiguan, is not all that fast off the line. In fact, X1 and GLA finish second quarter mile faster than Q3. Passing time Audi also slower by a good margin. It came down to simple physics: The Q3, with 200 horsepower, is the most powerful of the trio of Germany and the second-heaviest. Plus, the torque converter does not start nearly as hastily eight-speed automatic ZF X1 or dual-clutch transmission this GLA. Credit smooth torque delivery of the 2.0-liter, which peaks at 207 pounds-ft at 1700 rpm, to make Q3 feel faster than it actually is.According to the EPA, Q3 Quattro is the most efficient of all four-wheel-drive mini-utes come from Europe, with a combined rating of 23 mpg. It was a 3-mpg worse than the combined scores X1 xDrive and 4-mpg less than GLA250 4MATIC. We saw 22 mpg overall.Q3 may not be the fastest or the most efficient members of the baby-ute class, but it was quieter than the Tiguan and ride better than Mercedes and BMW. It was down the street without Flinty suspension behavior resulting from efforts to become sportier than it should. If it is a baby ute luxury you seek, there is no reason to calculate Q3 period.Article source: http://www.caranddriver.com/audi/q3

Audi Q3 review

The Audi Q3 offers small premium SUV sector that is growing and can calculate the Range Rover Evoque, BMW X1 and Mercedes GLA as a rival.A smaller version of the Audi Q5, Q3 using the previous generation of the Audi A3 as the foundation and now comes with looks fresh facelift that focuses on the nose fixed, cleaned-up the rear and additional equipment.Features three trim levels - SE, S line and S line Plus - and all were well equipped. Audi offers a large number of optional kit and Q3s customers can be personalized via the Audi Exclusive program - both of which can prove rather costly, however.Figure 9 of 19All engines have been enhanced for improved fuel efficiency greater (up 13.5 percent) and being friendly to the environment. There are two petrols: two-wheel drive 148bhp 1.4-liter with technology cylinder-on-demand all-wheel drive and a 178bhp 2.0-liter. Meanwhile, form the diesel line-up is the 148bhp 2.0-liter TDI with either two or four-wheel drive and a high-powered 182bhp version.All engines come with a choice of six-speed manual or seven-speed S tronic gearbox Audi (1,4-gasoline had a six-speed S tronic box ', though) - in spite of the high performance RS Q3 model, which is only equipped with the auto option. By the way, have a hot RS upgrade package now 28bhp and 335bhp.With the latest facelift, Audi hopes to continue the success of the current Q3 - the company has sold 400,000 units globally since its launch in 2011.Our choice: Q3 2.0 TDI SE (177) quattro S tronicStyling3.5Audi master of display companies, and Q3 have been given sufficient revision updated to keep in line with the brand new design direction. Overall profile has not changed, and the biggest update is reserved for the nose. There are more angular design for large grille, and it finished with satin silver trim that integrates with the front, giving an appearance similar to Q3 Q7 will come. However, if you go for white or silver bodywork, new trim does not stand out.The fully featured slim light housing LED lights on S line models, while the SE has xenons. Elsewhere, SE cars get 17-inch wheels and S line adds 18-inch rims. There are a variety of optional designs, as well, and our car performed chunky 19-inch wheels (£ 595) which add interest to the overall look of this Q3.At the rear, the S cars feature flame indicator lines - borrowed from Audi premium model - but other than that, you would be hard pressed to distinguish Q3 updated from its predecessor.

Picture 8 of 19It's the same story inside, as the layout is largely unchanged. All cars have screens that appear manually from the top of the dashboard. But while the build quality can not be faulted, the layout is not easy to get along with as in some of the new Audi models.It uses a more compact Q3 MMI cabin control system that is also found in the supermini A1. Controller and the small play button shortcut installed just below the air vents, but they are a bit of reach for the driver, and the system is not intuitive to use as a full-size found in Audi's MMI control the other. Control the air-con was also a bit fiddly, because they are mounted low on the back gearlever.Audi MMI integrated entertainment system is also very easy to use and generally, the Audi Q3 is very well equipped. 'Go' SE trim cars come with start / stop technology, 17-inch alloys, climate control, automatic wipers and lights, rear parking sensors, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity and a 6.5-inch screen as standard.
Picture 3 of 19If you opt for a more sports-oriented Audi Q3 S line models, you also get 18-inch alloys, it is 20mm lower suspension, front sports seats embossed with the S line Audi logo, aluminum interior inlays, power tailgate, rolling indicator, xenon lamps and sports front and rear bumpers. S line Plus trim Audi Q3 gets 19-inch wheels, Alcantara seats S line embossing, privacy glass and cruise control.There are a few quirks with the interior of the Audi Q3, though. The driving position is high-set provides a good view of the road and a comfortable sport seats. Bus-like steering wheel angle also feels strange and cabin design is showing its age - it contrasts with the minimalist dashboard Audi A3 for example.RS Q3 gets everywhere honeycomb grille found on all Audi RS models, and other decoration to let others know you are driving the most powerful model in the range of Q3.Driving3.9Standard (non-RS) Audi Q3 models are available with either a 1.4-liter or 2.0-liter engine. Our choice is either 182bhp powerplant Unit 2.0-liter TDI diesel (no less powerful 148bhp version) because it offers the best combination of performance and fuel efficiency in the range of Q3 thanks to a combined 51.4mpg economy and 7.9s 0- 62mph time (when the 'automatic box S tronic equipped). CO2 emissions are also quite low at 143g / km.1.4 TFSI engine with cylinder technology-on-demand is a new addition to the line-up and the unit is really smooth and strong. It also offers fuel economy and CO2 emissions are actually similar to the diesel variants (47.9mpg, 136g / km). Plus, because the gasoline cars are responsible for less tax car company, it is a good choice for company car buyers.

Figure 6 of 19Thanks to the strong grip and decent body control, the Audi Q3 car-like feel agile and quiet. Better yet, a combination of compact size, excellent visibility and control well-weighted help inspire confidence when threading down streets and winding city streets crowded.The standard Drive Select system allows the driver to adjust the steering weight and throttle response - it was the best remaining in normal mode, because it makes the steering feel artificially heavy in Sport.However, the sharp handling of this comes at a price: as other compact SUV, the Audi Q3 and the company suffered a low speed agitated ride. We would recommend forking out for adaptive dampers, which gives a more supple ride.
Figure 7 out of 19Both gearbox found in the Audi Q3, twin-clutch S tronic automatic and standard six-speed manual, very good.When you put your foot down on the Audi Q3 RS, turbo gives loud roar and exhaust race inspired exhaust note. With 335bhp together on all four wheels thanks to quattro system Audi Q3 RS can sprint from 0-62mph in just 4.8 seconds.Reliability4.2Since this is a minor makeover, you can expect the Q3 reliable. It was the highest placed Audi driver in Southwestern our 2015 survey, finishing 14th overall, and the SUV was placed third in our poll. Owner praised the build quality and ease of use, with the only criticism about the practicality and operational costs.Q3 use a lot of solid material and feels like it's built to last. It also comes with a three year, 60,000 mile warranty and three year RAC breakdown cover, which should help keep the minimum bill.Despite its age, the Audi A3 was awarded a five-star Euro NCAP crash rating, as well as 94 and 85 percent respectively for adult and child occupant protection, the Audi Q3 should prove to be very safe as well. Six airbags and electronic stability control comes as standard and there are a lot of safety equipment in the list of choices such as blind spot monitoring, and Speed ​​Limit Display and Active Lane Assist, which helps to maintain the position of the vehicle in the lane. Furthermore the range, the S line models feature Xenon headlights as standard.Practicality3.7Thanks to a more upright body, the Audi Q3 is a more practical choice than the Range Rover Evoque. The world does not boot at 460 liters crossover class, but Audi has replaced the fixed parcel shelf with cover rolling load to improve access. You also get the tailgate is supported on models higher-spec, which opened wide and leave the burden of flat lips. Picture 5 of 19One criticism leveled at Audi Q3 can be found while boot space expands to 1,325 liters, rear seats do not fold completely flat sliding it so that in-and-out is unnecessarily difficult. However, if you need to carry stuff again, Audi offers a folding front passenger seat as an option in Q3.In terms of passenger comfort, adults still need to be comfortable, while the high roof line and larger side windows help cabins Q3 is bright and airy feel. He also has a lot of practical storage space, including large cup-holders and a wide door bins.Running Costs3.9The most economical Audi Q3 is the 2.0-liter TDI diesel with 148bhp. When mated to a manual gearbox and front-wheel-drive, Q3 will return 61.4mpg combined cycle and 119g / km CO2.If you choose to quattro system of four-wheel-drive with this machine, it increases the emissions to 131g / km and combined cycle figure came to 56.5 mpg. Regardless of Q3 RS, 2.0 TFSI quattro with four wheels is the most powerful Q3 in the range, but has a relatively poorer economies combined 42.8mpg and 152g / km. Predictably, RS Q3 quickly had bad fuel economy with a combined cycle 32.8mpg and 203g / km CO2.1.4 TFSI COD (cylinder-on-demand) is a good compromise, boasting 47.9mpg and 136g / km.Fortunately, Audi tend to hold their value well, so expect Q3 to have a good residual and do not depreciate as much as some of its competitors.Article source: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/Audi/Q3
