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

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Spacious interior with straightforward cabin design
Good combination of athletic handling and everyday comfort
Easy-to-use infotainment system

Cons
Not very quick to accelerate, even with the optional V6
Lower fuel economy than some competitors

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Sporty-looking bodywork,
spacious inside,
generous cargo room.

Cons
Could be more fuel efficient,
lacks driving verve we're used to from VW,
plasticky interior materials.
