Munich – The Audi A3, a classy hatchback based on the Volkswagen Golf platform, came into the world in 1996. It went through a third-generation reboot for the 2012 model year, and in 2013, a sedan version was introduced at the New York Auto Show, primarily for the hatch-averse American market. For 2017, this premium compact gets a mid-cycle makeove

Audi’s flagship executive sedan, the A8, is nearing the end of its product cycle. It saw a minor facelift for 2015 that gave the regal full-size a tad more visual bite. Put a 2014 and 2015 A8 side by side, and you’ll notice the newer model has a slightly larger (is that possible?) and more angular grill, redesigned full-LED headlights, a more d

Vehicle Type Large Luxury Crossover The Q7 rated highly in all aspects of confidence during inclement-weather driving, with traction, braking, stability and even the lighting system rated well. History/Description Audi’s big luxury ute hit the market for model year 2007, offering six or eight-cylinder power, Quattro AWD, unique lo

Frankfurt – We here at autoTRADER.ca have a soft spot for the current-generation supercharged Audi S4 sedan. It emerged victorious in a sports sedan comparison a couple years back, winning us over with its pace, unflappable dynamics and stellar build quality. Add quattro all-wheel-drive all-weather capability into the mix, and you’ve got a formidab

Here’s an oddity for you. Before even getting a chance to review (or drive) the 2015 Audi Q3 now on the market here in Canada, we are bringing you this advance preview of the 2016 Q3 , which receives a mild refresh and is coming to market next fall. That’s a long way off, but the changes relevant to our market are incredibly subtle, so this is

Frankly, winter just doesn’t seem long enough. I’ve had a few weeks behind the wheels of various Audi products this winter, and each of them have made me wish only for more snow, ice and for people to just get the heck off the roads. This one is the 2015 Audi S4, not Audi’s freshest product, but one that is familiar to use here at autoTRADER.ca, an

Chile’s Atacama Desert presents visitors with a pair of existential extremes. Thrusting between 2,500 and 4,000 metres above the Pacific Ocean bordering the South American country to the west, and protected by the rain-blocking Andes to the east, the Atacama’s exceptionally dry air and sky-scraping altitude makes it the ideal spot to observe the st

This isn’t the next great thing. Nope, it’s probably not even the last great thing. By my reckoning, it might be the one before the last great thing. But it might just be the greatest thing. Of course, the things I’m referring to aren’t sea cucumbers or stock portfolios, rather they are the luxury sports coupes and sedans, a segment for generati

The 2017 Audi R8 offers two power levels from its 5.2L V10, 540 hp and 610 hp in the Plus. I’m really not quite sure what you would do with those extra 70 hp away from a track. Granted, the Plus also adds a carbon-fibre wing and other goodies, but holy smokes, the standard 540-hp V10, serving up 398 lb-ft of torque as well, is quite ballistic enoug

With compact crossovers being all the rage these days, it's somewhat surprising that North Americans haven't met the Audi Q3 before now. After all, it was designed back in 2009 and went on sale in European and Asian markets for the 2011 model year. Having recently spent a week behind the wheel of a 2015 Q3 Quattro I can safely say it's a case

We can go on and on about the gorgeous Audi wagons that we want (and they are many), but the cries of North American long roof aficionados do not a business case make, and Audi is happy to leave the traditional wagon market to BMW, Mercedes and Volvo. What we get is a wagon with body cladding and raised suspension based on Audi’s superb A4 line, at

In a year that saw Audi’s sales in Canada grow by almost 20 percent to over 24,000, it’s easy to point at the shiny new baubles in their lineup, the redesigned A3 and all-new Q3 exploding onto the market and representing the lion’s share of that growth, but it would never happen without stability from core models. The Q5 and A4 are sales le

Marbella, Spain – It’s hard not to be giddy getting out of Audi’s latest iteration of its sporty little coupe, greeted by the warm sunshine in Spain’s southern Andalusia region. We are here ‘testing’ Audi’s new TT, set to arrive next year as a 2016 model, bringing with it sharpened design, dynamics, and a great leap forward in its Virtual Cockpit.

Sometimes, it’s all in the details. A tremendous amount of very fancy stuff happens perpetually beneath the floor-pan, but what you feel from the driver’s seat is easy to explain: you virtually never feel anything at all. Smash the brakes on a snowy road, and the action of the ABS system is virtually inaudible, as the clickity-click vib
