Audi Ireland’s 191 range will include the launch of five new, updated or special edition models.

Audi has unveiled the second generation of its successful compact model, the new Audi A1. Worth special mention, the Audi pre-sense front allows the radar sensor to recognise critical situations involving other vehicles, crossing pedestrians or cyclists ahead of the vehicle, even when visibility is poor, such as in fog. The system then gives an acoustic and visual signal to warn the driver.
The new Audi Q3 is a family SUV which Audi boasts offers unparalleled style, versatility and space for enhanced comfort. From the outside, the Audi Q3 has a more sportier design concept than its predecessor.
The Audi Q3 comes with four engine options, both petrol and diesel units, in combination with either front-wheel or quattro drive. The power outputs will range from 150hp to 230hp, with four cylinder direct injection units with turbocharging for a powerful, refined and efficient drive.

With two virtually silent electric motors that can deliver up to 300kW, the Audi e-tron electrical quattro provides the economy of electricity without sacrificing on power. The dual electric motors ensure there is no lag between acceleration and launch, resulting in a driving experience impossible to match with a combustion engine.
