Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

A very competitive posh crossover, but it fumbles some of Audi's traditional strengths.

Pros
Lots of equipment and tech,
practical,
striking to look at

Cons
The powertrains,
HMI and materials aren't as polished as Audi's norm

A proper Top Gear hero. Seriously over-delivers on the underpromising price..

Pros
Cheap,
but also value.
Looks good.
Is very capable

Cons
Lacks safety kit; so slow that this might not actually matter

By: 
topgear.com

Roomy cabin
