Audi Middle East, along with its partner in Dubai and the Norther Emirates, Al Nabooda Automobiles, showcased their latest premium sports car, the all-new Audi RS3 exclusively in Dubai, two months ahead of its official market introduction in the region. The RS3 sedan version was displayed at the popular cars and coffee stop, Flat 12 Café.
While Audi’s different crossover offerings seem to be taking the headlines recently, their flagship model is still the A8, which enters its mid-cylcle refresh. The Four Rings brings out the 2022 Audi A8 and S8 with some minor changes to the design and the latest technologies.
The 2022 Audi RS3 is living, breathing, fire-spitting proof that good things come in small packages. The compact A3 sedan’s evil cousin gets a five-cylinder engine under the hood, like the original Audi Quattro. With 401 horses breathing under its hood, the RS3 hopes to revive the dwindling reputation of petrol-powered Audis across the world.
Audi’s current EV offensive is quite small, consisting of the E-Tron Crossover, E-Tron Sportback and the E-Tron GT sedan. With most of its rivals barging into the EV arena with all guns blazing, Audi is in no mood to rest. This week, they have taken the covers off their smallest EV offerings, Audi Q4 E-Tron and Q4 Sportback E-Tron.
Audi’s first step into the EV battlefield with the R8 e-tron was not that fruitful. They are on a stride to change this fate with the rebooted E-Tron lineup, starting with the decent E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback crossovers. Now they are adding a new body style to the lineup. The 2022 Audi E-Tron GT and sportier Audi RS E-Tron GT grows from their concept form into a reality.
As the VW group carries on their frantic bid to electrify everything with four-wheels in their house, Audi is expanding their “green” range as well. Next in line is the 2021 Audi A3 Sportback hatchback, now in “45 TFSI e” form.
Some days ago, we reported the launch of the 2021 Audi A3 Sportback, which is probably not slated for the Middle East as the reception for any pricey premium hatchback in our market has been lukewarm at best. But there a new iteration of the Audi A3 sedan for 2021, which will make its way into the market as the least expensive offering from the German brand, at least in the GCC.
A survey commissioned by Audi Abu Dhabi claims that 60% of UAE residents (or at least those who were questioned) believe that cars either need to be serviced only once every three years, or are unsure.
The Lamborghini Urus is a crazy-fast machine, but it commands a crazy price too. For the ones dazzled by its charm but has not enough dime to shell for it, Lambo’s parent company has come up with another choice. Audi has launched the quickest RS version of their flagship Q8 SUV, dubbed the 2020 Audi RS Q8. It is almost as quick as the Urus but induces a less fatal heart attack with its smaller price tag.
Along with the recent launch of the 2020 Audi RS7, the German luxury brand also released the all-new RS6 Avant model. The new generation model now gets more power and lots of new tech inside.
