I drove the Genesis last week and absolutely loved it.

All week I had people chatting to me about how beautiful the design is. They seem to get the balance just right.

Inside the GV80 Coupe is all luxury and comfort. Let’s start with the seats. They are sumptuous and embrace the occupants like a lounge chair.

The flat bottom steering wheel surrounds the digital dash. To the left is a wide central screen that has excellent clarity.

There are flashes of real carbon fibre mixed with quilted Nappa Leather enhance the interior ambience.

Rear seats have a recline function as well as a fold flat ability. They also have two isofix and top tether points for baby seats.

Leg room is restricted and I’m not really a fan of the digital screens on the rear of the front seats.

The boot is generous but slightly limited by the coupe roof line.

Performance comes from a 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine that has reasonable acceleration but can get thirsty if pushed hard.

Ride is smooth and handling has a rear wheel bias with all wheel drive capability.

Pricing for the Genesis GV80 Coupe is from a little over $135,000 dollars plus the usual costs.

However, Audi has just released the updated versions of their stylish A3 and S3 sedans and Sportback models.

They arrive with a sportier look inside and out, contemporary design elements, and added value for customers.

The latest iteration of these models receive revised exterior design with a redesigned Singleframe grille, new corporate identity, and a refreshed interior.

Further, the S3 receives a power upgrade and improved performance and dynamism. This is from the addition of a torque splitter. Technology previously reserved for the vehicle’s powerhouse sibling, the Audi RS 3.

Now with 245 kW and 420 Nm of torque, the S3 is more powerful than ever. The Audi S3 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, with top speed limited to 250 km/h.

On top of this it will happily potter around town with no fuss.

Pricing starts at $54,800 for the entry A3 model through to $81,800 for the S3 top spec model. All plus the usual costs.

A full drive review will be coming shortly.

Starting the range is the Q4 45 SUV and the Q4 Sportback 45.  Audi Q4  priced from $84,900 plus the usual costs.

They come with 210kW of power and 545Nm of torque driving the rear wheels. Battery size is 82 kWh gross and has a WLTP range of about 520 km.

The Q4 55 e-tron quattro SUV and Q4 Sportback e-tron quattro round out the range. Pricing for these start from $105,900 plus the usual costs.

They both come with 250 kW if power and  135 Nm at the front wheels and 545 Nm at the rear wheels of torque.  As the name suggests they have quattro drive and a WLTP range of 488 km.

Driving the Q4

Driving the Q4 is a quiet and smooth experience. They display all the dynamic qualities you expect from an Audi. Instant torque allows rapid acceleration at almost any speed. I found that If I selected maximum regenerative braking then this allowed a more sporty approach. In many EVs the one pedal style of driving takes a while to get used to and quite frankly is a bit if a pain.

Audi overcomes this by allowing some flow on driving style while having excellent retardation.

Inside the Q4 is all Audi style and quality. Surprisingly there is enough head, shoulder , knee and leg room for my 190 cm frame to fit comfortably and have the drivers seat all the way back.

I actually really enjoyed the few days drive on the launch and am looking forward to a longer test drive shortly

Not only is it elegant in design but is lacks for almost nothing inside.

The seats are especially comfortable and for the front two occupants there are heating and ventilation and a Multi choice massage function. Let me tell you it works well.

The drivers instrument cluster is a 3D design with multi functionality. Again, it screams Peugeot innovation.

I love the flat bottom and top steering wheel that sits below the raised I cockpit. It allows, for me, perfect positioning of the steering wheel without any obscuring of the instruments.

The 10-inch central touch screen is amongst the best in class for clarity and functionality.

The whole interior ergonomics are first class.

Powering the 408 PHEV is a 1.6L turbocharged petrol engine with a 12.4 kWh battery. This allows around 45km of pure EV only driving, or you can use it as a normal hybrid. You can also save the EV drive if you wish.

The Peugeot is a delight to drive. Its smooth, quiet and comfortable. Its one of those cars that just feels right as soon as you sit in it.

Available by order only the 408 PHEV is definitely worth a drive if you are after a premium PHEV.

It’s called the NVES – New Vehicle Emissions Standards. Essentially the government is trying to force consumers to but electric cars. No matter what they say, that’s their plan and that’s daft. We want to choose the style of car that suits our needs.

An example of how a manufacturer can provide that choice is the Audi Q8. This is a large premium SUV that has embraced a wide spectrum of engine choices.

There is a choice of two body styles, the SUV and Stylish Sportback.

Depending on what model you choose there is either a 6-cylinder petrol or diesel engine. A V8 TFSI petrol engine in the SQ8 or RSQ8 with different tune specifications and mild hybrid technology. There is a Plug in Hybrid version and fully electric choices in both normal and sport tune.

Personally, the Audi Q8 is a favourite of mine, and I have driven all these choices.

Australian consumers want choice. The Government is trying to force us to buy a particular vehicle that doesn’t do what we need.

The post Audi Foundation raffles an Audi RSQ3 Sportback 10 year model appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The 408 GT will be available in a Plug In Hybrid variant only and will be priced from $67,9990 plus the usual costs.

What will buyers get for that. Firstly, a stunning design that offers a blend of coupe, fastback, and SUV styling, that transcends boundaries of design.

Secondly a luxurious and premium interior. Its French, so it has quirks and that adds to the appeal. Plush seating that cocoons the occupants, a well laid out dash. In front of the driver is the latest generation PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, instantly recognisable by its compact steering wheel dedicated to driving pleasure and controlled agility.

The 408 GT Fastback provides 360Nm of torque and 165kW of power from a 132kW PureTech engine combined with an 81kW electric motor, coupled with a smooth 8-speed automatic gearbox.

With a 12.4kWh capacity lithium-ion battery, there is an estimated EV only range of 60km.

Charging is easy to do overnight at home. It will take about 6 hrs. for a full charge.

Drive modes include Hybrid, Electric and Sport and you can select which suits as well as regenerative braking.

The Peugeot 408 GT Fastback PHEV is available now for order and is for discerning buyers that want something just a little bit different.

I really like the elegant design that stands out from the crowd.

It comes with a 1.6L petrol engine, front wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

This combination provides excellent economy, zippy urban acceleration, and effortless motorway cruising. The suspension is super smooth, like you are riding on air at times.

One thing you notice is just how quiet it is when driving.

The C5-X is bigger than it looks and there is plenty of room inside. The interior is also different but carries the elegance theme throughout.

Its luxurious and well laid out, but some features take a little getting used to.

The French are well known for doing things a little differently and the Citroën C5-X certainly is an example of that thinking.

When you compare it to some of the other premium European brands like BMW or Mercedes Benz, the Citroën personality shines bright against their blandness and dullness.

Priced from a little over $57,500 dollars the Citroën C5-X is also stunning value.
