Audi Guide

Audi has built its reputation on combining premium quality, advanced technology and understated design across one of the industry's broadest model ranges. Today, its UK line-up stretches from the compact A3 to large executive cars, family SUVs, high-performance RS models and an increasingly sophisticated electric range.

Audi is also in the middle of one of its biggest product renewals in years. The A5 has replaced the long-running A4, the combustion-engined A6 now sits alongside the separate A6 e-tron, while Q8 and Q9 models have expanded the upper end of the SUV range. Sportback, Avant, S and RS derivatives are grouped with their main model families here.

Current Models

Audi A3 (20-)
Audi A3

RRP From: £28,650
Pre Reg From: c. £25,000
Used Price From: c. £9,000

Powertrains: Petrol • Diesel • MHEV • PHEV
Dimensions: 4352 × 1816 × 1441 mm
Boot: 380L • 280L (PHEV)

Key rivals: BMW 1 Series, DS N°4, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Toyota Corolla

The A3 remains one of Audi's most familiar models, combining Golf-sized practicality with a more premium cabin and a broad choice of powertrains. Sportback and Saloon versions broaden its appeal, while the S3 and five-cylinder RS3 provide serious performance without sacrificing much of the everyday usability.

Audi A5 (24-)
Audi A5

RRP From: £42,760
Pre Reg From: c. £35,000
Used Price From: c. £26,500

Powertrains: Petrol • Diesel • MHEV • PHEV
Dimensions: 4829 × 1860 × 1444 mm
Boot: 445L • 476L (Avant)

Key rivals: BMW 3 Series, BYD Seal, Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Replacing the long-running A4, the latest A5 has grown into a larger and more versatile executive car. The Saloon actually uses a practical liftback tailgate, while the Avant retains the traditional estate option. A broad range of combustion and plug-in-hybrid powertrains helps it cover everything from company-car use to the performance-focused S5.

Audi A6 (25-)
Audi A6

RRP From: £52,110
Pre Reg From: c. £37,000
Used Price From: c. £36,000

Powertrains: Petrol • Diesel • MHEV • PHEV
Dimensions: 4999 × 1875 × 1472 mm
Boot: 492L • 503L (Avant) • 331L (PHEV)

Key rivals: BMW 5 Series, Lexus ES, Mercedes-Benz E-Class

The A6 is Audi's traditional large executive model, combining generous space with a more understated approach than many increasingly dramatic luxury cars. Saloon and Avant bodies are joined by the returning allroad, while electrified petrol and diesel engines keep this range clearly separate from the fully electric A6 e-tron.

Audi A6 e-tron (24-)
Audi A6 e-tron

RRP From: £62,590
Pre Reg From: c. £36,500
Used Price From: c. £34,000

Powertrains: EV
Dimensions: 4928 × 1923 × 1455 mm
Boot: 502L

Key rivals: BMW i5, DS N°8, Mercedes-Benz EQE, Volvo ES90

The A6 e-tron is much more than an electric version of the regular A6. Its newer 800-volt architecture brings very rapid charging and up to 468 miles of WLTP range, while Sportback and Avant body styles make it one of the few premium electric cars available as a proper estate. Strong early depreciation also makes nearly-new examples particularly interesting.

Audi Q3 (25-)
Audi Q3

RRP From: £37,470
Pre Reg From: c. £35,000
Used Price From: c. £34,000

Powertrains: Petrol • Diesel • MHEV • PHEV
Dimensions: 4531 × 1859 × 1588 mm
Boot: 488L • 375L (PHEV)

Key rivals: Alfa Romeo Tonale, BMW X1, Kia Sportage, Peugeot 3008, Volvo XC40

The latest Q3 is a substantial step forward from its predecessor, with sharper styling, a more modern cabin and improved electrified powertrains. SUV and Sportback versions are available, while the plug-in hybrid offers useful electric range for buyers able to charge regularly at home or work.

Audi Q4 e-tron (21-)
Audi Q4 e-tron

RRP From: £46,260
Pre Reg From: c. £33,500
Used Price From: c. £12,500

Powertrains: EV
Dimensions: 4588 × 1865 × 1639 mm
Boot: 520L

Key rivals: Alpine A390, DS N°7, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV5, Nissan Ariya

The Q4 e-tron remains one of the more accessible routes into an electric Audi, combining familiar premium-SUV styling with proven Volkswagen Group EV hardware. Recent updates have improved range, charging and technology, while heavy depreciation on early cars has created some particularly tempting used-market prices.

Audi Q5 (25-)
Audi Q5

RRP From: £52,360
Pre Reg From: c. £44,000
Used Price From: c. £38,500

Powertrains: Petrol • Diesel • MHEV • PHEV
Dimensions: 4717 × 1900 × 1647 mm
Boot: 520L • 438L (PHEV)

Key rivals: Alfa Romeo Stelvio, BMW X3, Land Rover Range Rover Velar, Mazda CX-60, Volvo XC60

The Q5 sits at the heart of Audi's SUV range and remains one of its most important family cars. The latest generation combines a much more digital interior with petrol, diesel and plug-in-hybrid powertrains, while the Sportback offers essentially the same package with a more coupé-like roofline.

Audi Q6 e-tron (24-)
Audi Q6 e-tron

RRP From: £60,565
Pre Reg From: c. £50,000
Used Price From: c. £36,000

Powertrains: EV
Dimensions: 4771 × 1939 × 1702 mm
Boot: 526L

Key rivals: BMW iX3, DS No7, Lexus RZ, Tesla Model Y, Volvo EX60

The Q6 e-tron introduced Audi's newer generation of electric technology to the SUV range, bringing 800-volt charging, strong long-distance range and a much more modern cabin. SUV and Sportback versions are offered, while the quicker SQ6 demonstrates how much performance the same platform can support without losing family-car practicality.

Audi Q7 (26-)

RRP From: £81,665
Pre Reg From: £80,000
Used Price From: N/A

Powertrains: Diesel • MHEV
Dimensions: 5072 × 1970 × 1748 mm
Boot: 210L (7 Seats), 722L 

Key rivals: BMW X7, Land Rover Discovery, Mazda CX-80, Mercedes-Benz GLS, Volvo XC90

The third-generation Q7 brings one of Audi's longest-running SUV nameplates properly into its latest design era. It remains a genuine seven-seater, but adds a more upright shape, substantially newer cabin technology and an electrified V6 diesel powertrain. It also arrives into an increasingly competitive and fast-growing large-SUV segment, giving Audi a much-needed fresh contender at the top end of the family market.

Audi Q8 (18-)
Audi Q8

RRP From: £81,295
Pre Reg From: c. £57,000
Used Price From: c. £23,500

Powertrains: Petrol • Diesel • PHEV
Dimensions: 4986 × 1995 × 1678 mm
Boot: 605L • 439L (PHEV)

Key rivals: BMW X5/X6, Lexus RX, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz GLE

The Q8 remains Audi's large, coupé-influenced luxury SUV, combining generous space and long-distance refinement with a more sporting appearance than the seven-seat Q7. The range stretches from diesels and plug-in hybrids to extremely quick SQ8 and RS Q8 versions, while substantial depreciation makes early used examples considerably more attainable.

Audi Q9 (26-)

RRP From: £103,900
Pre Reg From: N/A
Used Price From: N/A

Powertrains: Diesel • MHEV
Dimensions: 5310 × 2010 × 1810 mm
Boot: 280L (7 Seats), 850L 

Key rivals: BMW X7, Land Rover Range Rover LWB / Defender 130, Mercedes-Benz GLS, 

The Q9 takes Audi into full-size luxury-SUV territory for the first time. At more than 5.3 metres long it is the largest Audi yet, with seven seats as standard and an optional six-seat layout featuring individual rear chairs. Air suspension, rear-wheel steering and electrically operated doors underline its flagship ambitions, while the UK launch model uses a mild-hybrid V6 diesel.

Audi e-tron GT (21-)
Audi e-tron GT

RRP From: £88,605
Pre Reg From: c. £75,000
Used Price From: c. £25,500

Powertrains: EV
Dimensions: 4990 × 1960 × 1410 mm
Boot: 405L • 350L (RS)

Key rivals: BMW i5, Lotus Emeya, Mercedes-Benz EQE, Porsche Taycan

Closely related to the Porsche Taycan, the e-tron GT is Audi's most overtly sporting electric model. Its low four-door body, rapid charging and huge performance give it a very different character from the more efficiency-focused A6 e-tron, while the S and RS versions take the range well into six-figure territory.
