Audi goes crossover crazy - Q1, Q4 & Q6 rumored
According to a recent report, Audi is considering three additional crossovers to augment the Q3, Q5 and Q7.
Details are sketchy, but the Q1 could be a high-riding A1 with crossover styling. There's also the possibility the model could be based on the next-gen A2 or A3, but nothing is certain and a launch may occur anywhere from 2013 to 2016.
Next up, Automobile says the Q6 will be based on the Q5 and tackle the BMW X6. This contradicts previous reports that the model would be underpinned by the next-generation Q7, but the magazine suggests the vehicle will offer a 220 hp (164 kW / 223 PS) 2.0-liter four-cylinder TFSI as well as a new turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that produces 300 hp (224 kW / 304 PS) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. It could be launched in 2016.
Lastly, the Q4 could go three different ways: three-door coupe, sporty five-door, or aggressive off-roader. Pick your favorite and prepare to wait - the model isn't expected until 2017.
