With the launch of the Audi Q3, the firm has entered the growing market for crossovers - cars which look like big, chunky off-roaders, but are as easy to drive and economical as a family hatchback. The Q3 is a direct rival for the BMW X1, MINI Countryman and Range Rover Evoque, and is built to Audi's usual high standards. Interior quality is excellent, and there's space for five inside. All cars, whether petrol or diesel, come with stop-start, which cuts the engine when you put the car into neutral. Audi's quattro four-wheel drive is offered across the range, but front-wheel drive versions offer class-leading economy and emissions figures.
