Audi has been quite decided these days to fill all of the gaps you may discover in SUV segment. After officially mid-sized, however dimensionally full-sized Q7 in 2005, arrived compact Q5 in 2008 after which in 2011 once more compact SUV or Q3 filling the decrease a part of the identical segment. Last yr we welcomed subcompact Q2, however that turned into now no longer sufficient as Audi confirmed little sports in coupe SUV a part of the sport until now.
BMW turned into there lonely for pretty a long term with X6, later joined via way of means of X4, at the same time as Mercedes entered the display fairly these days with GLC Coupe and GLE Coupe. As conventional contention lives on, except different matters, it’s going to supply start to 2019 Audi Q4.
WHAT IS IT?
We are becoming a car that is essentially Q3 flavored with a sloped roof. We should bounce in advance and say it’s far there to rival BMW X4 and Mercedes GLC Coupe, however that wouldn’t be pretty true. Those are primarily based totally on X3 and GLC, so direct competitor could be Q5 with coupe genes. As Q3 occupies the decrease a part of the identical compact segment, an immediate rival to Q4 could be destiny BMW X2, which have to arrive earlier than it, and Mercedes GLA Coupe whilst Stuttgart-primarily based totally maker makes a decision to go along with it.
2019 AUDI Q4 CONCEPT
Q4 turned into previewed in 2014 at some stage in Bejing Motor Show with TT Offroad idea, and let’s imagine that identical aspect appears pretty manufacturing prepared for today’s time. Basically, the idea represents multiplied TT version, however we don’t have something towards its narrow and sharp lighting and ordinary menacing fascia.
We have identical mind for lovely TT’s interior. Anyway, Q4 will rely closely at the appears of the following technology Q3 whilst it arrives, so we are able to have extra specific clues approximately the entirety whilst that happens.
ELECTRICTRIFICATION
When we test Audi and energy, presently we’ve matters getting 1/2 of manner there. We have Q7 and A3 in plug-in hybrid bureaucracy wearing e-tron monikers. We had one try at uncompromised energy use with R8 e-tron, however because of the incredibly ridiculous fee tag of $1.1 million entire aspect turned into destined to end from existence. Interestingly, Samsung is constructing a plant for battery manufacturing in Hungary simply ninety mins farfar from Gyor plant wherein TT version is produced and wherein Q4 is set to be manufactured.
Further to that, Samsung simply signed the cope with German carmaker, taking the duty to deliver them with batteries, however imagining that Q4 should come completely electric, would possibly show excessive. Yet, the plug-in hybrid have to certainly be in the sport.
UNDER THE SKIN
New 2019 Audi Q4 will glaringly use MQB platform, at the same time as engine lineup is set to rely upon one in new Q3. Current base petrol provide depicted in 1.4-liter turbocharged I4 have to make an area for brand new 1.5-liter turbocharged I4 providing VGT or Variable geometry turbocharger, critically decreasing time in awaiting height torque to arrive. Besides, that standard 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel gadgets have to bring over with viable alteration of strength output.
Audi hasn’t granted lots of its fashions RS flavor, however that turned into now no longer the case for Q3, and we have to assume RS Q4 the use of identical 2.5-liter turbocharged I5 boosting at the least four hundred hp as in latest RS3. We are about nonetheless years farfar from its introduction, and as quickly as we’ve extra info, we are able to be right here for you.
