Audi A6 Allroad (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Steve Moody, 03 April 2012 08:46

The new 2012 Audi A6 Allroad is an unusual brew of contradictions and adaptations. On the one hand, this model, now in its third iteration, is a darling of the Middle England red-trousered brigade, that most conservative of social sets. Yet it is effectively a blinged-up A6 Avant, with chrome plastered everywhere (hardly the best material for off-road work), hung ...

Audi A8 4.2 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 18 February 2010 09:00

I didn’t realise Audi was doing a long-wheelbase A4. Is there no niche left unexplored? A4? This is the new 2010 Audi A8, Ingolstadt’s technological flagship, a limo built around a supercar-style aluminium spaceframe and boasting the sort of toys that would make Inspector Gadget envious (and owners thankful that Lucas doesn’t do Audi’s electrics). But it’s an easy mistake ...

Audi A5 2.0 TDI Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 09 March 2009 12:26

While we’ve all been fussing and fawning over the new Audi S5 Cabriolet, it’s not actually that relevant – just 250-300 are expected to be sold in the UK each year. Instead it’ll be the 2.0-litre petrol and diesels that’ll take 80% of the (hoped for) 5500 sales, split 50:50. It’s the 2.0-litre diesel we’ve tried here, because it’s the ...

Audi A6 2.0 TDIe (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Glen Waddington, 29 September 2008 12:40

There’s an all-important headline figure for the new Audi A6 2.0TDIe, and it’s not 53.3mpg – however impressive that may be. No, of greater importance is its carbon emission figure of 139g/km, sneaking this A6 beneath the 140g/km tax barrier. Its £24,800 list price is pretty impressive, too: this is a big Audi after all, and it comes with most ...

Audi Q5 2.0 TDI (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 10 July 2008 18:23

The Audi Q5 is here – and we've driven it. Finally Ingolstadt has a medium-sized SUV with which to battle the likes of the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLK. But in the war of the small, premium Germans 4x4s, the X3 is ageing fast and the GLK won’t be in the UK until 2010 at the earliest. That leaves the ...

Audi A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 20 May 2008 10:09

Pick the optimum combo for a compact exec and the Audi A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro might spring to mind: V6 diesel grunt and smoothness, the handling promise of four-wheel drive, suave looks and finish and a tempting equipment level. It costs nearly £30k (more like £42k, optioned-up like the test car) – and there’s stiff competition at that level, ...

Audi TT 2.0 TDI (2008) driven CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 29 April 2008 16:17

The Audi TT TDI. Is this oil-burner from Audi another Ingolstadt niche? Or a svelte coupe and cabriolet with low-end grunt, low emissions and decent fuel consumption? A few critics of Audi's blunderbuss new model programme worry it's another box ticked so the company can out-offer the opposition. And worse than that, perhaps Audi is offering something no one really ...

Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDi S-line (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Dan Trent, 03 April 2008 17:57

The Audi A4 Avant exists because not everyone wants an SUV and, while BMW’s 3-series has the ‘medium premium’ saloon market sewn up, when it comes to wagons Audi rules the roost. And with this Avant version of the new A4 that domination looks set to continue. It’s no great mystery as to why this is so. While the 3-series’ sporty ...

Audi A5 3.0 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 13 July 2007 02:13

Haven’t you driven the Audi A5 before? We have, but only in S5 guise, and not on UK roads. Back in April we drove the 354bhp V8 but that was Audi’s attempt to steal a little limelight from the BMW M3; now we’ve got behind the wheel of the 3.0-litre diesel. Audi hasn’t been in the big coupe game for ...

Audi Q7 4.2 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Danny Cobbs, 10 May 2007 09:49

Is this 4.2-litre diesel Q7 just playing another part in the Audi master plan for world dominance? When you’ve spent a gazillion euros developing the world’s most powerful V8 diesel engine it would seem economic suicide not to use it in as many models as possible. This, and the fact sales of the Q7 have far exceeded Audi’s wildest forecasts, ...
