CarzPage Review: Audi A1 1.6 TDI S-line 2011

audia116tdisline_carzpage
We recently had an Audi 1.4 TFSI Sport A1 in the office. If you have not seen it, think Quattro colors. It is up to the nines pasted, but looks kinda cool, if not to everyone’s taste. It made an interesting comparison with CAR own diesel-A1 S-line trim. CarzPage Review: Audi A1 1.6 TDI S-line 2011.

Compared with our TDI, the 1.4 petrol turbo was faster next. The 1.4 TFSI is a great motor and fits the character well A1. The trade-off for the fact it’s more fun to drive? Its 126g/km CO2 emission level of diesel can not double digits. Although our 1.6 TDI 106g/km spits, the latest versions actually snip under 100g/km by a digit.

Our next A1 TDI is slow compared to the gasoline-sports. I think you have to change very quickly in the second – if you do not, shoot the speed and the car sounds in pain, do it too early and you lose all speed and difficulties remain. CarzPage Review: Audi A1 1.6 TDI S-line 2011.

Apart from the style, gear and step-off at low speed, both A1s shared similar characteristics. This remains one of the smartest small cars.
But as much fun as the racing was, I have a simple personality. For me, I’m going with my Audi A1 TDI S-Silver Stick. It’s good for me. Silver fits the Audi A1. There – I said it. Apparently silver is a uniform color on cars today that it has become rather passe – I’ve read a lot of comments about the color of my long-term A1. But I do not agree. A quick look at the car park shows, I’ve made the right choice. Black only does the job equally.

This new Audi Q3 looks very familiar …

They are polite or the piss? Bar to optimize the odd detail and looks redesigned bumper, it appeared almost identical to the Cross Coupé quattro concept at the Shanghai show in 2007. The car was smart, but something seems lost in the translation of the production have. And a choir of people are ready to say it looks like any other Audi out there …The large, single-frame grille is present, LED daytime running lights are an option, and sloping D-pillars mean they are to life instead of baggage-carrying side of the market.

CarzPage Review: Audi Q5 Quattro with Hybrid 2011

AudiQ5HybridQuattroreview_2011This is the Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro, the first full-hybrid production route from Audi and our first taste coupled to the modular 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine / electric motor, a lithium-ion battery. CarzPage Review: Audi Q5 Quattro with Hybrid 2011.

We’d better get used to it: The same technology will appear in the A6 and A8 hybrids. CAR just the new Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro tested, read so on our first test drive. Like all these electrical Gubbins fit together under the skin of the new Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro? Audi is the front-tried and trusted 2.0-liter TFSI (turbocharged and direct injected) gasoline engine, producing 208bhp and 258 pounds ft. Drive goes to all four wheels, and the transmission is an eight-speed automatic, but without a torque converter. Why not a torque converter? There sat in his place (and between the engine and transmission) is a 33kW (ft and £ 155) electric motor – the disc-shaped motor also acts as a starter and generator.

The 1.3 kW lithium-ion battery pack sitting under the trunk floor (and weighs just 38kg, says Audi) and the combined total output for the hybrid system is 241bhp and £ 354 m. The air conditioning compressor, power brakes and power steering are now electrically powered, too.
How efficient is the new Audi Q5 Hybrid? CarzPage Review: Audi Q5 Quattro with Hybrid 2011.

A combined fuel figure of 40.4mpg, exactly the same as a car equipped 2.0 TDI Q5. Which means diesel drive Europeans are currently ridicule. But the diesel emits 184g/km CO2-Q5, while the Q5 hybrid duck under 160g/km. Basically this car is not in Europe but elsewhere aim, compared with a conventional 2.0 TFSI 32.8mpg and 199g/km Q5, it is of course better – and a tenth quicker to 62mph, despite the c130kg weight gain.
5AudiQ5HybridQuattroreview_carzpageWhat is the new Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro like to drive? Very impressive. They climb stab in the Start button, then stand again, then angry, and then sheepishly remember that this is a hybrid and electric motor, which silently says the gasoline can not be.
