Audi Canada has risen through the ranks to symbolize prestige in the minds of many. It’s no surprise that the German luxury automaker, under its parent company Volkswagen, has established itself as a frontrunner for innovation and quality in the automobile industry.
Manufacturing vehicles since 1910, you wouldn’t be remiss to associate its premium cars with unmatched engineering excellence in terms of reliability and performance, much like you would its counterparts Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Fast forwarding 109 years to 2019, the automaker has much in store for car enthusiasts, whether it be in the form of hatchbacks, sports coupes, electric crossovers, sedans, and the likes. This lineup will attempt to transform every facet of the automotive industry.
Below, we’ve compiled a list of the much-awaited Audi cars that, just by specs and visuals alone, leave the competition in the dust.
The fifth-generation A6, a midsize luxury sedan, is perhaps the most highly-endorsed Audi vehicle this year. It promises to spearhead an all-new design language for the automaker while still incorporating conventional class standards.
This vehicle will showcase a refined cabin and creased bodywork to boot. Under the hood, the discernible driver will find a 6-cylinder engine, 7-gear transmission, capable of producing 335 HP.
The car’s revamped design is augmented with a brand new MMI infotainment system (though some prefer the previous version with the dial controller) and a new V6 mild hybrid powertrain. Overall, the driver can expect a strong performance and a pleasurable cruise in its plush interiors. Just like its predecessor, its on-road behaviour is much the same, offering a mix of sporty handling and comfort.
Audi 2019 Q3
Audiences will recognize that the Q3 debuted way back in 2011 and has come a long way since – if the 2019 model is anything to go by. The second-generation Q3 will feature revamped exteriors to mimic the same standards exhibited by the new Audi SUVs and crossovers.
The Q3 comes with some interesting specs – a 2.0-liter engine with 4 cylinders, capable of producing 200 HP. Aside from the U.S. lineup, there will be a more potent RS Q3 allowing overseas buyers to access a whopping 363 HP engine. By and large, the Q3 promises to spruce up the underdeveloped lineup currently seen in U.S. markets. The automaker has promised to release more info closer to the on-sale date.
Audi 2019 R8
When the R8 was initially released in 2006, it quickly made it to every auto lover’s must-watch list. Even as subsequent rollouts occurred over the years, the model still headlines this segment over a decade down the road.
The sports car will witness a few small cosmetic transformations in the new year, mostly to its front and back fascias. Buyers can also expect new and improved interiors, with the stunning Audi Virtual Cockpit infotainment system stealing the spotlight from other in-car sundries.
As far as the engine is concerned, two models will be available: the 533-HP V10 and the 602-HP V10. The internet has been rife with rumors about the 2019 R8 being designed with a twin-turbocharged V6 to pack more heat, but the automaker has largely dispelled these claims.
With Audi’s extensive 2019 lineup, it’s impossible to cover every single one in this article, however, failing to make a mention of the Q8 is a cardinal sin. The Q8 has quite some overlapping features with Audi’s flagship sedan, the A8.
A quick glance at the Q8 reveals sharp headlights, tail lights, and a sturdy grille. It will be a little shorter than the Q7 but with 3 extra inches on its width. If you expect to see the third-row seating as observed in the Q7, you will be disappointed. The Q8 has conventional seating that only accommodates four or five. With the base engine, you can expect a 2.0 liter, 252 HP, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine.
More information will filter through with the car’s approaching Hong Kong debut this June.
Audi 2019 e-tron Quattro
Apart from Audi’s soon-to-be-released Q8 crossover, the Quattro is another new flagship product to hit dealerships in 2019. This compact fully electric car promises solid underpinnings and will borrow its design from the Q8.
The powertrain is the central focus of the Quattro and will feature about three motors with a 95-kilowatt-hour battery pack, capable of producing 429 HP. The electric crossover is estimated to offer the driver 300 miles on just one charge. These numbers are subject to minor speculation and the automaker may choose to pack in even more heat.
