AUDI Q3

THE old stager of the Audi SUV range is still ticking along, and with an all-new Q3 on the horizon, there should be some decent discounts available to help shift stocks of the current car.

As with the Q2 and Q5, 4WD is only offered on higher-spec variants, and the Haldex-based system is a reactive set-up, which sends power to the wheels with the most grip when needed. It’s not as effective as a fulltime 4x4 system, but is good enough for most situations.

Price range: £27,610-£37,600 Our pick: 2.0 TDI 150PS quattro Sport (£30,580) Engine: 2.0-litre 4cyl diesel, 148bhp Transmission: 6-spd man, permanent 4WD Top speed: 126mph Economy: 57.6mpg CO2: 129g/km
