Audi SQ2

Price: From £33,000 (est)
On sale: Mid-2018
We’ve been seeing spy shots for a while, but we expect Audi will finally introduce a hot Q2 later this year. The most recent pictures reveal tell-tale quad exhausts and enlarged air intakes, as well as large brake discs.
The SQ2 is likely to use a version of the four-cylinder turbo from the S3, and we expect it’ll offer around 250bhp, use all-wheel drive and feature a sportier chassis set-up. That would then leave the possibility of Audi introducing an even faster RS Q2 model, using the same engine as the RS 3.Chek www.oktilli.com for more

Audi Q8

Price: £65,000 (est)
On sale: Late 2018
As part of the rapid expansion of its range of SUVs, Audi will be introducing a new flagship Q8. This will be the brand’s largest Q car, and is intended to be an all-out luxury 4x4 to rival the likes of the Range Rover.
Underneath, it’s based on the Q7, but the Q8 will have a more distinctive, coupĂ©-like look; judging by the latest spy shots, it looks very much like the Q8 concept from the 2017 Detroit show. We also expect the car to be available with the e-tron plug-in hybrid petrol-electric transmission from the concept.Read www.oktilli.com for more

Audi Q3

Price: From £27,000 (est)
On sale: Autumn
It’s no surprise that Audi is busy putting the finishing touches to its new Q3, because the current version is now the oldest model in its range. The new Q3 will be marginally larger on the outside, and with a longer wheelbase, it should offer more interior space as the brand fights for sales against the BMW X1 and Volvo XC40.
To that end, Auto Express understands Audi is also working on an all-electric version of the Q3 to sell alongside petrol and diesel models, and a plug-in hybrid e-tron. Despite such major changes under the bodywork, our exclusive images show that the Q3’s styling will be very much an evolutionary affair.More at www.oktilli.com

Audi e-tron

Price: From £60,000 (est)
On sale: Summer
We have yet to see a production version of Audi’s first pure EV, but the company did bring camouflaged e-tron prototypes to the recent Geneva show, no doubt to steal some of the Jaguar I-Pace’s thunder. The e-tron will be the first of a pair of all-electric crossovers built on the VW Group’s MLB platform.
We’d expect it to offer around 310 miles of range from a single charge – although it’s still feasible that Audi could offer it with more than one battery capacity.Read more at www.oktilli.com

Audi A6

Price: From £35,000 (est)
On sale: June
Audi has held nothing back for its all-new A6, which moves the game on from the current car in every area. It’s bigger, for a start, and with an extra 12mm in the wheelbase, there’s more legroom without sacrificing any of the old model’s 530 litres of boot space.
The A6 also benefits from aluminium panels in order to counteract the weight gain brought about by the mild-hybrid powertrains across the range. Borrowing tech from the bigger A8 means buyers can specify air suspension for the smoothest ride possible, too.More at www.oktilli.com

Audi A1

Price: From £15,000 (est)
On sale: Winter
Audi is gearing up to move its smallest car on to the same A0 version of the MQB platform as the new SEAT Ibiza and Volkswagen Polo.
As a result, the new A1, previewed in our exclusive image, is expected to be roomier than at present thanks to a 90mm-longer wheelbase. The engine line-up is likely to resemble that of the Polo, and include a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol with a range of outputs. Audi could launch a BMW i3-rivalling plug-in hybrid A1 e-tron, too.Readilli.com more at www.okt

Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Price: From £120,900
On sale: Now
Aston Martin is back in the black and powering along nicely, with £87million profit recorded in 2017. The new V8 Vantage is now all set to give the firm another significant sales boost.
The latest car shares its basic aluminium architecture with the larger DB11, as well as its rear-wheel-drive layout and AMG-sourced 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. In the Vantage this produces 503bhp and 685Nm of torque to give a 0-62mph time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 195mph.
With 50:50 weight distribution, an electronic E-Diff rear differential and adaptive dampers, the Vantage promises to offer handling to match its high performance.Read more at www.oktilli.com
