The Audi A6 has been facelifted. What, you don’t believe us? Look closer. It’s got new headlights and things. Truth is, the facelift really is limited to headlights and things, but it’s enough to make this midsize sedan look stunning with the “S-Line” package. Just look at those wheels.
A day’s worth of travelling and transit flights brought us to the little town of Verbier in Switzerland, which, for the time being, had become overrun with all-new 2016 Audi Q7 midsize luxo-crossovers, as we were hosted at this sleepy skiing village for the international media-drive event. The Q7 is a big deal for Audi, as their best-seller has finally undergone a complete re-engineering after almost a decade unchanged.
Audi has released a new entry level model for the 2016 TT. Under the hood, the standard TT will now get a new turbocharged 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine. The higher models get a 2.0-litre turbocharged motor.
The Audi A6 has received a facelift for the 2016 model year, along with a few engine upgrades. The current generation has been around since 2012, and with the latest changes from the design department at the four-ringed German manufacturer, they have managed to make an already decent-looking midsize sedan even better. We had a long drive mapped out for us from Dubai to Ras Al-Khaimah, giving us some time to get accustomed to the new A6.
Audi recently released a video showing off the latest A7 doing some heavy off-roading on the dunes somewhere in Dubai.
What makes a sports car? Should it have two seats or are five acceptable? Should it have two doors or is four okay? Should it only be rear-wheel-drive or will all-wheel-drive do? While Audi is generally seen as a maker of cookie-cutter sedans, they’ve been breaking conventions for a while now with a few of their niche models, such as the Audi TT Quattro and the Audi S3 Sedan. We drove both of them at the GCC launch event in the UAE.
Audi have taken the wraps off the second generation Audi R8 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Three variants have been released – the V10, the V10 Plus and the e-tron. The exterior design is an evolution of the previous generation, while underneath is where most of the changes have taken place.
Audi is generally known as a carmaker that doesn’t take risks. Their design language, their cabin layouts and even their base engines have simply been mildly tweaked versions from generation to generation. But sometimes, they pull a fast one out of the hat. There was the TT. Then there was the R8. And next came the RS 7. And now there are the station-wagon twins — the RS 4 Avant and the RS 6 Avant.
German premium brand Audi has released more images of the RS3 Sportback before it officially goes on sale in Europe in March.
The 2015 Audi Q7 made its debut at this year’s North American International Auto Show.
