Audi’s all-new 2015 A3 sedan will be priced from $30,795, including shipping, when it hits showrooms around March of next year. The car will serve as the entry point for the Audi brand in the U.S., which means the A3 Sportback variant also due next year will have a higher pricetag. Audi fans can also expect the sporty S3 variant, stylish A3 Cabriolet and eco-friendly A3 TDI diesel in showrooms next year, and in early 2015 the brand with the four rings will introduce its A3 Sportback e-tron plug-in hybrid. But getting back to the 2015 A3, the car offers a lot of style and value for its...

Is the Audi SQ5 a bona fide performance model, or is it a great pretender? We've wondered about the SQ5's credentials ever since the brand confirmed this performance version of the Q5 crossover, its 354-horsepower output, and its 5.1-second 0-60 time. And in the absence of established head-to-head rivals like a BMW X3 M, a Cadillac SRX-V, or an AMG variant of the Mercedes-Benz GLK (yep, they're all hypotheticals), it feels a little bit like the game is rigged. And the answer, as we found out this past week in a couple hundred miles over some challenging roads in Western Colorado, is that it's...

The 2013 World Endurance Championship season has been a story of Audi's dominance. While the Toyota Racing TS030 Hybrid has managed some strong finishes, so far this year, the R18 e-tron quattro has won every single race. The team is aiming to keep that roll going this weekend as the WEC heads to Austin, Texas at the Circuit of the Americas. It's the first time the WEC has visited the newly-opened track, and its challenging layout will be a high hurdle for everyone, Audi included. In fact, neither the team nor any of its six drivers are familiar with the track--it will be a matter of who can...

Before we leave to cover an auto show, we typically have a decent idea of what we're going to be seeing. Audi switched things up a little bit by dropping a surprise on us on the eve of the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show.

We expected to see the Sport quattro concept make an appearance, but this new machine ups the excitement ante quite a bit.
