Audi

A1

£12,775 - £19,950

Audi's long-awaited city car, the A1, has arrived. Mini, your comfort zone has just been breached

A3

£15,810 - £27,410

Maybe a bit too far down the food chain to justify its premium price, but certainly has enough quality to distinguish it from its poorer cousin, the VW Golf.

A4

£21,390 - £37,430

Audi has produced a 3-Series rival that, although it's still not as agile the BMW, at last offers truly fantastic ride quality, and is so thorough it feels like a Panerai watch.

A4 Allroad

£30,365 - £35,830

Capacious estate and able off-roader, the A4 Allroad does everything you need it to. Even better, there’s no image problem

A4 Avant

£22,590 - £38,630

If they'd called it an estate car you'd have thought it was just a plain, rather boring dog-friendly version of the A4. And you would have been right - that's what it is.

A5

£24,655 - £46,740

Cool coupe that looks the part like Daniel Craig looks the part. A plain but stylish suit, muted but implicit power, and tougher than steel. Understatement rocks.

A5 Cabriolet

Don’t let the lack of a folding metal roof fool you. The Audi A5 Cabriolet does a good, if pricey, job of things with its plush soft top.

A5 Sportback

£23,440 - £38,240

Think of the Sportback as an A4 with a swoopier body and a hatchback. Because, err, that's exactly what it is.

A6 allroad

£37,610 - £42,275

That penultimate suffix denotes something rather simple. It is, in a nutshell, a higher riding A6 estate.

A6 Avant

£26,635 - £42,490

The car that acorn-worshippers think the A6 Allroad is. Actually, this is the pick of the A6 family - all the good stuff plus a big bottom that makes it look oddly alluring.

A6 Saloon

£25,065 - £40,650

If Captain Sensible were a sales rep, he'd have to have one. There's a big neat tick in every box, so it will float your boat if you get excited by carefully filled out forms.

A7 Sportback

Audi has seen the success of the CLS and - whisper it - Panamera, and now it wants a bit of the action itself. Enter the A7 Sportback 

A8

£55,100 - £92,865

Think of it as a long-legged, sharp-suited businesswoman with a wedgy haircut. Very classy, extremely well put together, dominant. You like, but you don't love.

Q3

£23,800 - £30,400

Audi applies Russian-doll expertise to create mini-Q5. Watch out Range Rover Evoque - oh, hang on...

Q5

£26,910 - £39,675

Decent small SUV that can threaten the larger Q7 price-wise if you start getting jiggy with the options. It's good, but strangely bland. Like motoring mashed potato. 

Q7

£39,905 - £98,725

Even by stupidly huge SUV standards the Q7 is stupidly huge.

R8

£83,515 - £144,000

Porsche has been swanning about for years, safe in the knowledge that the 911 is the default supercar. Nobody else has both the badge and the know-how. Until now.

R8 V10

The new Audi R8 has found another two cylinders and lost nothing in the process. 

S3

£29,975 - £32,525

A rich man's Golf GTI. Clearly it's a very fine thing, but on Planet Hatchback you exit the atmosphere at £25k, and by the time you get to S3 money you're into deep orbit.

TT Coupe

£25,435 - £46,095

Arguably the point where Audi first started to explore its design potential. The first one was radical and flawed, but this is a coupe with purpose and mass appeal.

TT Roadster

£23,650 - £48,075

Effortless transition from coupe, but carries with it the faintest hint of uncertainty about your desired image. Handling and looks both compromised, but only slightly.
