Maximum power output is rated at 600 PS while maximum torque is rated at a massive 800 Nm. All 600 PS is transferred through an 8-speed tiptronic automatic transmission.

As they say, raking rooflines are like London buses - you wait ages for one then suddenly two show up. Following the VW Arteon’s unveiling yesterday, we also came across the rather quiet launch of the swoopy 2020 Audi Q3 Sportback on Audi Malaysia's website. Essentially, the Sportback is the stylish brother of the current Q3. It gets a snazzy new visual package all-around and of course, had its roof lopped off for that coupe look. That said, it still hasn't lost its practical edge. Dimensions Fo

Yesterday, we saw the Malaysian launch of the swoopy 2020 VW Arteon after a long wait. Of course, the burning question remains: how does it stack up against its conservative stablemate, the Passat R-Line and the equally-flowy Audi A5 Sportback? Different prices, but one may just be the unexpected bargain. Read on to find out! Performance: Audi has the most punch Sure, all of them are turbocharged four-pots, but Audi trumps on power here - 252 PS and 370 Nm means it makes a full 60 PS and 50 Nm m
The boys and girls at Ingolstadt recently unveiled the 2021 Audi S3 Sedan and Audi S3 Sportback - hopped-up versions of the regular A3 sedan and hatchback. With these, Audi aims to be the spanner in the works of the Mercedes-AMG A35 and BMW M135i xDrive. Both are powered by a 2.0-litre TFSI engine making 310 PS and 400 Nm, mated to Audi's S Tronic seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Power is sent to all four wheels via the Quattro system, and both cars can sort out the century sprint in
With the gradual growth of the post 90s and post 00s into the main force of car purchasing, the labels of youth, sports, personality and so on seem to have injected the slightly "aging" automobile market. Among the many eye-catching elements, the convertible is still biased towards the niche position, which is rarely seen on the road. Recently, Audi A3 Cabriolet has decided to officially shut down production after the 2019 model year, according to the Car and Driver, after speaking with an unnam

Following Tesla's hint on its supercharger location in Singapore and Hyundai's plans for a manufacturing plant for electric cars, Singapore is gearing up for further electrification.

A partnership with SP Group provides Audi e-tron owners with a seamless charging experience. SP Group is a government-owned elec

Toyota GR Supra Ever since news broke on Toyota’s decision to collaborate with BMW for the new GR Supra years ago, many fans and industry critics loathed it, thinking that Toyota had “lost their mind”, or was looking for an “easy way out” to build the legendary nameplate successor. After its global debut in 2019, many weren’t impressed with the amount of BMW badging engraved all over the car, calling it the “Zupra” (an acronym mix of its cabriolet sibling, the BMW Z4). Some were taken aback by i
With the recent launch of the Audi RS6 and RS7, plus the BMW M3 and BMW M4 performance cars on our shores, it seems that there is a shift in direction towards the torque converter transmission (TCT) on core performance models. More importantly, manufacturers like Audi were - up until this point in time - massive proponents of the dual clutch transmission (DCT). Other performance-oriented brands have also followed suit. It wasn't that long ago when the dual-clutch transmission (DCT) was hailed as

Stefan Sielaff, the designer of the Bentley Bentayga, Audi A7, and Audi A1, has left Bentley as its design chief. According to Automotive News, the designer may be joining Geely.

He joined as an int
Parallel imported or recon (reconditioned) cars have been a part of (read: plagued) the Malaysian automotive industry for as long as the industry existed. Many have turned to these unauthorised and unofficial distributors for their significantly lower car prices – it’s not unusual to see grey import cars being 30 to 40% cheaper than officially imported cars. A small number of consumers turn to the grey market to secure a particular model variant, for example, an Audi RS6 Avant that’s not sold by
Sistem pencahayaan sentiasa menjadi bidang kepakaran Audi. Siapa yang boleh lupa akan penampilan pertama DRL LED pada "Starkmobile" Audi R8 pada tahun 2007.

The 2020 Kia Optima gets a radical change in its design from the outgoing generation, now with a fastback sloping roofline akin to an Audi A7. Inspired by the texture of shark skin, the grille is said to give a powerful and sporty image. The headlamps are seamlessly intergrated with the grille, featuring a unique daytime running light signature, which Kia calls ‘heartbeat’. Further enhancing its four-door coupe appeal are the frameless doors, with the chrome trim now extending around the rear of

Ask anyone who has ever driven a Volkswagen Golf R and they’ll tell you that it’s no slouch. However, German tuner ‘The Turbo Engineers’ thought that it needs a little more pep in its step. Enter what could possibly be the only five-cylinder Golf R in the world. The stock four-pot was swapped for a 2.5-litre turbo unit from the Audi RS3 but with a name like ‘The Turbo Engineers’, they took it upon themselves to strap a bigger turbo on it. Because that's what you do to make 740 PS. 40 PS more tha
Audi did not start off as the luxury car brand that we know of today. Back in the 60s, before the Audi started competing with luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Audi was rolling out affordable cars like the small hatchback Audi 50. Which… Volkswagen later took and rebadged into the Volkswagen Polo. Say what? But it’s true! The first Volkswagen Polo introduced to the world back in 1975 was actually a rebadged Audi 50. This is because when Volkswagen decided that it was time to start adding

However, the DTM series has seen a steady decline, evident by a shock withdrawal from Mercedes-Benz in 2017, leaving only BMW and Audi to carry the torch forward. Few other manufacturers such as Nissan, Opel,
