I bought and sold around 55-60 cars since 1983 but never an Audi because I used to see Audi after Audi on mechanics jacks with bad, unrepairable transmissions. The last 15 years I only bought turbo-diesels, mostly Mercedes and Subarus(5), both are tops in dependability and gas mileage. To me a great SUV is like this only with van-style, sliding, electric, wide-open rear doors. VW has a truck Amarok with this same 2L turbo-diesel in Europe but as usual they don’t bring good stuff to America.
yea, exactly
I want it!
Very nice but it will probably be very expensive.
в раше с ее налогами 100% будет стоить больше 4млн, + еще налоги на роскошьстраховкитопливо
little too much gloss on the inside but its pretty nice.
It is a hybrid. But i would love to see the Audi 4.2l Tdi in it.
lol look like camaro face
The only problem is that the actual production one will look like crap.
one more thing i hope v w changes the to only 3 liter turbo and optional hybrid
there are lots of things people don’t know
Such pretty…
How many €?
Looks nice for a ‘truck’
fyi…it’s an suv,, not a truck…trucks have beds
i agree seems like alot of added complication and expensive technology to achieve a pretty ordinary mpg. Maybe a more refined diesel engine and significant weight reductions could offer the same benefits.
Ñuss 1234
This is an EPIC car, and so was its predecessor, the Routan.
Ironically I think corvettes are gay. Oh, and has a French name.
Interior very range rover like with those 3 center knobs
Gorgeous
Wow I actually like it
With the addition of an electric motor at the rear, doesn’t that make it all-wheel drive or 4×4?
Wow! Will there be a hybrid only instead of plug in? When will it be released? Price?
the best american cars are built in Germany? LOL…never saw a corvette built in germany
Love it. $50,000?! This small-turbo-diesel motor is the best, both in gas mileage and in durability. Add the hybrid and it’ll be Number-one.
Absolutely SOPHISTICATED!
vw big mistake, both existing suv models are not big sellling, if they release this one, another should be discontinued, the toureg is priced into audi territory and the tiguan no one seems to be buying. the model does not start with a t and is entering a saturated market. should have come out with the microbus instead. microbus seats seven and there is nothing like it on the market.
this model will definitely be routanized.
isn’t there a healthcare program named like this car, its bluecross and the truck will need it.
IT not THE (BESIDE CHANGES)
I think it’s a great vehicle and I hope it comes out very soon.And that steering wheel goes it’s hideous
Can I get it without the hybrid system? I not sold on hybrid technology.
it
I´ve read, about 35 – 40.000 EUR in Europe and assume about 40 – 45.000 USD. I would say its a very modest price, for such a well designed and modern SUV
had to laugh at the 35mpg…they’re using a turbocharged direct injected diesel engine, hybrid powertrain, AND a 7-speed auto but could only get 35 mpg…i understand its big, heavy and has ton of horsepower, but still
This is fricking awesome I was just saying they should come out with a hybrid diesel and look I stumbled onto this video….. This is exactly what I want steering wheel and all
So sick Yo new landrover… Ohh wait..
the point is that i’ve never hear of american car being built in germany…only ones i could think of would be the new fusion or focus
Good luck cleaning it.
The German mentality is to always make better. Germans don’t think simple.
The Chinese copy the Germans and Japanese. The Koreans hire German designers. The best American cars are built in Germany. German cars are dumbed down for the North American market. And that’s just the German side.
is that not the mentality of most auto companies no matter what country?
