The new Q3 will be one of the last models Audi launches with an internal-combustion engine. The line-up should include both petrol and diesel options, likely with mild-hybrid assistance, plus the Volkswagen Group’s latest plug-in hybrid powertrain already in use by the latest Volkswagen Tiguan and new Cupra Terramar. We know this set-up can produce up to 268bhp, and offers more than 70 miles of pure-electric driving range, so company car drivers are sure to take a particular interest in the PHEV version.
Audi Q5
The third-generation Audi Q5 aims to build on the massive success of its predecessor, with a fresh new look, tech-filled interior and engine options. The ‘Digital Stage’ dashboard design includes an 11.9-inch Virtual Cockpit and 14.5-inch central touchscreen in one curved panel, plus a separate 10.9-inch display for the passenger. The mid-size SUV is currently available with mild-hybrid petrol and diesel engines, and there’s a fiery SQ5 model with 362bhp too. Prices start from £49,950.
Audi Q6 e-tron
Audi now has three electric SUVs in its line-up: the flagship Q8 e-tron, the compact Q4 e-tron and, bridging the gap between them, the latest addition, the Q6 e-tron. It’s the brand’s first model to use the PPE architecture and is offered in either a regular SUV bodystyle or as a rakish Sportback coupe-SUV. There’s also a selection of single-motor, rear-drive and dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrains available, including a high-performance SQ6 model that pumps out 510bhp. Prices start from £60,700.
