So far don't like all those touch screens, and I'd have to try those wing mirror cameras, also the i-Pace is streets ahead on looks. "0-60 in under 6s" must mean 5.9s? Even if this wasn't an Audi, can't say anything about this would tempt me.

Another dull electric car. It's odd how green cars are being interpreted in SUV format, the biggest least aero dynamic interpretation of a car.

Still it's needed for the barriers no doubt. We still await the step change in battery size, weight and charging capacity. Until then, plenty of these will be emerging.

Nice package all round by Audi as ever. I do wonder if Diesel Gate becomes a longer term win for VW group, forcing them down the future path earlier than say JLR who as we see have approximately 1 PHEV RRS and the ipace only? Did I get that right?

I think there might be a full-fat RR phev as well? Expensive models though so only niche sellers perhaps.

surely if you are going to go have cameras instead of mirrors you could design something a little less......mirror looking! I like the idea, but it just looks shit.

I think it still needs to protrude out a certain distance from the body. Fairly decent interpretation maybe. They look ripe for kids to smash off with a bat though.

Maybe also a US lawsuit waiting to happen with that knife like design.

They're not e-mirrors, they're handbag handles for all the mums that seem to flock to the Q5-sized cars. Should keep the smart repair people in business repairing scratches to the wing/door
