The 2020 Audi RS Q3 is a 400-hp beast of a small crossover

Audi unveiled its latest pair of RS models on Wednesday: the new RS Q3 and RS Q3 Sportback crossovers. Like the previous-generation RS Q3 that never came to the US, the new one uses a version of Audi's turbocharged 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine that's found in the RS3 and TT RS. It pushes out an absurd 400 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque, increases of 38 horses and 11 pound-feet over the outgoing model. Audi says both RS Q3 models will hit 62 mph in 4.5 seconds, on their way to a top speed of 155 mph -- or 174 mph, if you spec the right option.

First Drive: 2020 Audi RS 7

It starts with the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. This thing can be likened to lightning in a bottle; keep the cap on and it’s a controlled light show that sees the RS 7 purr about town in a quiet and civilized manner. Uncap it, though, and the 592 horsepower and, more importantly, the 590 pound-feet of torque anywhere between 2,050 and 4,500 rpm flash to the fore and give real meaning to fast. There is no turbo lag off the line and the mid-range punch is astounding. The potent V8 also works with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and cylinder deactivation to improve fuel economy.

Audi study finds high interest in self-driving cars, but far from a blanket statement

While autonomous cars and self-driving technology aren't ready to roll in the near future, such technology is bound to become widespread in the decades to come. Yet despite intrigue in the technology and advances, there remains one hurdle that could prove difficult to clear: human acceptance.

2021 Audi A3 spied completely undisguised

We've seen the 2020 Audi A3 a couple of times with fairly thin camouflage, but now one of our spy photographers has caught it uncovered. This is the hatchback version that we probably won't get, but as previous photos have shown, everything from about the B-pillars forward will be the same as the U.S.-market sedan.

Buy a Camry XSE V6 or Buy This: 2020 Audi A3 Premium 45 TFSI Quattro

More of our premium-meets-mainstream automotive lunacy.

Last week, we compared the Mercedes-Benz A220 to the Toyota Camry XLE V6, and most of you thought I'd lost my mind. I (pre-) explained why I hadn't, but of course the social media reaction was predictably short on folks who had read beyond the headline. So, for those of you who do manage to actually read an article before forming an opinion about it, I offer up an even more affordable take on making the step from a premium mainstream car to a mainstream premium car in the form of the 2020 Audi A3 Premium 45 TFSI quattro S-tronic. For those of you reacting on social media without having read even this far: Yawn. Uninformed opinions are so 2016.

You know the drill: To the specs!

Camry XSE V6 Vs. Audi A3 Premium 45 TFSI: Where The Audi Comes Up Short The first thing you'll probably notice is that there are no extra options added to either car's base price for their respective trim levels. In the case of the 2020 Toyota Camry, the XSE V6 already has a lot of optional-for-lower-tier-models equipment as standard; ticking the available options boxes would have increased the price well above that of the A3, and we're trying to keep things at less than $40,000. In the 2020 A3's case, the upgrade to the 45 TFSI trim level, which brings with it quattro all-wheel drive, put the price just about on par with the top-level Camry's, so I decided to keep it even-steven and just go with each vehicle's standard specification.

As with the Mercedes A220, the Camry seems to handily trounce the A3 if you're only looking at power figures, but this time the Audi out-scoots the Toyota thanks to its combination of turbo torque and quattro all-wheel drive, as well as its slightly lighter curb weight, hitting 60 mph from rest in just 5.4 seconds, 0.4-second quicker than the Camry's 5.8-second time.

The Audi is more expensive, but it's only 3.8 percent more expensive. Otherwise, the Camry's only real advantage over the A3 on the spec sheet is its size—and again, the Audi A3 is closer to the Camry than the Mercedes A220 was, both in terms of interior space and trunk space. The Camry XSE V6 packs 42.1 inches of front and 38.0 inches of rear leg room into its 111.2-inch wheelbase, compared to the Audi A3 Premium's 41.2/35.1 inches of front/rear leg room on a 103.8-inch wheelbase. The A3's trunk offers a relatively generous 10.0-cubic-feet of storage, 16 percent more than the A220, but still only about two-thirds the volume of the Camry's capacious 15.1-cubic-foot trunk.

It's clear the A3 is a smaller car, but aside from rear-seat leg room and a bit of trunk space, you're really not giving up that much to the Camry in terms of daily space unless you regularly have two or more other people in your car. If you do regularly have several occupants, it's worth keeping in mind the fact the Camry scores five stars across the board in NHTSA crash testing, while the 2020 A3 scores a five-star overall rating, but with four-star frontal-offset and rollover-crash results.

Camry XSE V6 Vs. Audi A3 Premium 45 TFSI Spec Sheet Quick Facts The Camry is roomier than the A3, especially in the rear seat The Camry can hold more stuff than the A3 The Camry is slightly less expensive than the A3 The Camry is slightly more fuel-efficient than the A3 The Camry rates higher in crash tests The A3 is somewhat quicker than the Camry The A3 is somewhat lighter than the Camry Camry XSE V6 Vs. Audi A3 Premium 45 TFSI: Where The Audi Comes Out On Top As with the Mercedes, aside from size, the Audi comes out on top in pretty much every other category, most notably in terms of interior design and styling. The Camry's no penalty box—quite the contrary, actually; it's a reasonably good-looking, nicely trimmed space—but there's no doubt you're driving a Toyota, however nice. In the A3, you get a taste of how the few-percenters live, with many of the same styling cues and details found in Audi's $60,000-and-up offerings. The only downside to the A3's design, really, is that the next A3, due to arrive in the U.S. sometime next year, looks even better.

Without adding any extras, the A3 Premium (the base trim in Audi parlance; the step-up variant is the Premium Plus) as equipped in 45 TFSI guise includes aluminum interior trim, heated front seats with leather seating surfaces throughout the cabin, with eight-way adjustability (plus four lumbar adjustments) for the driver. The Camry's front seats both offer eight-way adjustability, and the XSE V6 trim includes leather trim and heating for the front seats, too.

The Camry XSE V6, perhaps surprisingly, does not include navigation among its standard features (it can be had for $2,790 as part of the Driver Assist Package with Options), but it does include both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so that's essentially a moot point—and doubly so, because the A3 takes the same approach. Both come with good-sized displays, the Camry XSE V6 using an 8.0-inch display as the interface to the nine-speaker JBL Audio Plus with ClariFi system, which includes Bluetooth audio and handsfree functions as well as AM/FM/HD Radio/CD and SiriusXM, one USB media port, two USB charge ports, and voice recognition.

The A3 Premium's standard tech kit includes a 7.0-inch display and MMI Radio interface, with HD Radio and the aforementioned Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, but since I didn't opt for the Premium Plus trim, this A3 misses out on the 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system, but makes do just fine with its standard 10-speaker system. Overall, the electronics advantage you might expect the Audi to have is not really there; most of the A3's more "wow" features (like Virtual Cockpit and advanced driver-assist tech) are part of the $3,000-dearer Premium Plus's realm or optional packages. One thing the Camry has that the A3 doesn't at this price point is a 10-inch head-up display (HUD), which can be a great help in maintaining alertness while knowing where you're going and what's going on in the car.

As closely matched as these cars are on features, the behind-the-wheel driving experience is worlds apart. It's not so much that the A3 has immaculate at-the-limit driving dynamics; it doesn't. But it does have a very sweetly tuned suspension and a rigid chassis that communicate a classical Europeanness in ride and handling. For some of America's more neglected roads, however, the Camry's somewhat plusher ride may be preferable. Neither will let you down in a quick merge or two-lane pass, as both are more athletic than you might think, and are plenty powerful for their (different) sizes. The Audi, however, will inspire more confidence in slippery conditions, thanks to its standard quattro all-wheel drive. The Camry is available with all-wheel drive, but not when paired with the V-6 engine. ufa.bet

2020 Toyota Camry XSE V6 Vs. 2020 Audi A3 Premium 45 TFSI Quattro: Overall Value This match, to my eye, is a much closer one than the Mercedes A220 vs. Camry XLE battle, but that may just be my bias showing through. If this showdown were held next year, I'd expect the rather stunning new A3 to start any feature or performance comparison with a commanding lead over the Toyota on the strength of its design alone. But this year, as we say goodbye to the present A3, it's a much tougher call. The 2020 Toyota Camry XSE V6 represents a tremendous value in terms of feature set, technology, and power. But the whole premise of this Buy a Camry or … series is that the Camry, while commendable, is commonplace. The 2020 Audi A3, while it may be the least-expensive Audi, still isn't so popular as to be seen filling whole rows of parking lots, and it's a sharp little sedan even today. For the style-conscious who don't need a ton of extra space, the Audi A3 is a nice doorway into the world of much more expensive cars at the cost of a Camry.

2020 Toyota Camry XSE V6 Vs. 2020 Audi A3 Premium 45 TFSI Subjective Quick Take The A3's interior and exterior design are more "premium-feeling" than the Camry's The A3's technology and equipment are evenly matched with the Camry's The A3's ride and handling are somewhat sportier than the Camry's The A3 may soon look dated with a new model on the way The Camry is a tremendous value The A3 remains a great choice for those who don't want to see their car coming and going Camry has a 10-inch HUD, A3 doesn't have a HUD

Review: Is the new baby BMW any good? - The Globe and Mail

Open this photo in gallery

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. BMW/Handout Car companies often behave like children. What one company gets, all the others suddenly need to have too. The three big German luxury brands are notorious for this behaviour. For decades, Audi, BMW and Mercedes have been chasing each other down ever-stranger rabbit holes: fastback SUVs, four-door versions of two-door coupes, mildly sporty sub-compact crossovers. For a while, sales were booming – like somebody in product planning said ‘there are no bad ideas’ and everyone took it literally. Which brings us to this new baby BMW. It came as a bit of a shock when engineers in Munich whipped the sheet off to reveal... what exactly? It’s called the 2 Series Gran Coupe. It exists in a niche-of-a-niche as a sub-compact entry-level fastback sedan-coupe thing. Frankenstein would’ve been impressed. Story continues below advertisement It’s called the 2 Series, but one engineer mentioned it’s roughly the same size as the 3 Series sedan from 10 years ago. Adults can fit in the back seat, which is not a given in this category. The rear door of the BMW is minuscule, but once inside there’s room for four. The dashboard is immediately impressive. It’s stuffed with high-resolution screens which are neatly integrated into the cabin architecture and not simply stuck onto the dash like an afterthought. The Gran Coupe gets BMW’s next-gen infotainment system, which hasn’t even made its way into some of the brand’s more expensive vehicles yet. “The target group is young urban professionals, early 30s, single or starting a family,” said Jochen Schmalholz, product manager for the new 2 Series Gran Coupe. As an entry point into the brand, it’s an important vehicle, he added. Audi has done well in Canada with its entry-level ($33,400) A3 sedan, selling over 4,000 of them last year, according to GoodCarBadCar data. Mercedes did so well with its sub-compact ($40,300) CLA sedan, it is launching two more entry-level cars this year: the A-Class sedan and A-Class hatchback. Until now, BMW was the only one without a real competitor in this game. BMW picks insider Oliver Zipse as CEO to catch up with rivals 2020 Audi A4 sedan and A4 Allroad: What car companies can learn from Apple BMW’s 2020 X3 M and X4 M are crossovers that drive like track cars Open this photo in gallery

The 2 Series Gran Coupe feels dense but slices into corners, resisting understeer and tracking true. BMW/Handout In Munich, engineers rolled out a couple of camouflaged 2 Series Gran Coupe prototypes for us to drive. They won’t arrive in Canadian dealerships until March 2020, but the engineers said the cars we drove were in the final phase of testing. Those who expected the new baby BMW to be a frisky, tail-happy car like the rear-wheel drive 2 Series Coupe will be disappointed. Confusingly, the 2 Series Gran Coupe is based on an entirely different chassis. It has front-wheel drive, although all Canadian models will likely have all-wheel drive as standard. Nevertheless, the new BMW handles with the crispness of a good schnitzel. The steering is lightly weighted and quick-witted. The car feels dense – like a bulldog – but it nevertheless slices into corners, resisting understeer and tracking true. That’ll be enough sportiness for most, especially if you’ve got a kid in the back seat. Story continues below advertisement Story continues below advertisement (To all the diehard gearheads: don’t worry. BMW says the 2 Series coupe – one of the most entertaining, bang-for-your-buck sports cars out there – will stick around as a rear-drive model.) Pricing has yet to be decided, but the basic 228i model is sure to be one of the most affordable cars in BMW’s lineup. The 228 horsepower engine felt sluggish mated to the eight-speed automatic gearbox, but this is a machine for price-point buyers. If you’re looking for German luxury cars with the lowest monthly payment, this car will be on your list. There’s no issue with sluggishness in the M235i, which gets BMW’s most powerful four-cylinder engine to date. With 301 horsepower it propels the car with the sort of neck-straining acceleration you expect from the Bavarians. The Mercedes A-Class is our current benchmark in this entry-level luxury class, mainly because of its zesty handling and incredibly high-quality cabin. BMW’s new 2 Series Gran Coupe is – to put it politely – more challenging to look at, but the cabin is easily the equal of Mercedes. It seems strange, but it’s a smart copycat move by BMW. While the sub-compact-German-luxury-fastback-sedan is an odd niche, these vehicles do entice new buyers into luxury brands. The relatively affordable (circa $400 monthly) lease payments make sure of that. In other words, this is one strange automotive niche that will get more crowded in the coming years. Story continues below advertisement Tech Specs BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe Base Price: TBD ($40,000 estimate) Engine: 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo Transmissions: 8-speed automatic Fuel economy (l/100 km): TBD Drive: All-wheel drive Alternatives: Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz CLA, A-Class, Acura ILX A-Spec Looks It’s better without camouflage, but BMW’s recent designs are messy. Odd proportions don’t help. It’s tall, bulbous looking and not as sleek as its most direct competitor, the new Mercedes CLA. Interior It’s more spacious than it looks. I’m 5”11, but the headroom wasn’t an issue for me in the front or back. Expect to spend at least a few thousand dollars on options to make it feel like a real luxury car though. Performance It’s very different from the rear-drive 2 Series coupe. This is essentially a lowered X2 SUV. A clever new torque vectoring system and a limited-slip differential on the front axle make the car eager for the occasional on-ramp blast. We’ll need more seat time for a real verdict. Technology How this car handles Canada’s potholed roads remains an unanswered question. Adjustable suspension will be optional, but the standard springs and dampers handled Munich’s smooth roads with aplomb. Cargo The sedan-style trunk can hold 450-litres of stuff. Plus, there’s more storage hidden under the trunk floor. Story continues below advertisement Verdict Odd, but a strong rival to the A-Class and A3. Score pending until we drive the final version.

2020 Acura ILX

The 2020 Acura ILX Sedan is essentially a crackling version of the already excellent Honda Civic. However, the Acura ILX interpretation lacks the performance that its namesake promotes and the excitement that certain Civic models provide. The conscientious driving force and chassis are appreciated, but we expect us to drive more in this segment. Although a number of desirable and high-tech features are standard, some aspects of it show their age despite a recent redesign. The Acura ILX of 2020 is a well-built and inexpensive alternative to more expensive subcomponent competitors.

Acura ILX 2020

The Acura ILX 2020 is one of the best deals among luxury sedans with sub-compact products. We think that value is optimized with the Premium and Technology packages. Although both bring a wealth of luxury upgrades, their highlights include leather upholstery, upgraded infotainment features, more driver assistance, and the full-sole ELS sound system. The 2020 ILX A-Spec package may give the illusion of improved performance, but the package only delivers superficial improvements that are not worth the dough.

2020 Acura ILX Interior

Inside, the cabin of the Acura ILX is roomy for the driver and front-seat passenger, but tight for those in the rear. Standard equipment is plentiful and includes a sunroof, heated sports seats with driver power adjustments and automatic dual-zone climate control. However, the design of the dashboard looks outdated compared to the smooth screens that adorn the A-class line. Although the interior storage space is not nearly as usable as in the Civic, the ILX has a large trunk that launches the sedan’s sub-compact classification.

Acura ILX 2020 A-Spec

Surprisingly, a touchscreen infotainment system is not standard on the base model, but Premium, Technology and A-Spec models all have an 8.0-inch unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Although Acura’s dual-screen setup can be managed via physical buttons and buttons, the system’s outdated graphics and lack of intuitive menus make it obsolete compared to more contemporary rivals.

2020 Acura ILX Engine

The only drive is a 201-hp four-cylinder front-wheel-drive paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine is easily reversed and although the ILX is not the fastest car in its class, its character makes us think of the VTEC-powered Honda and Acura sedans of the years. Handling is ready and confident, but not particularly memorable; road and wind noise permeates the cabin here more than rivals such as the Audi A3 or Mercedes-Benz A-Class, especially at high speeds. The smallest Acura sedan has excellent feedback on the brake pedal.

The 2020 ILX is expected to earn 24 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, which is competitive for versions of the A3 and A-Class that are not powered on all-wheel drive. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to test the actual mpg of Acura on our 200-kilometer fuel economy route.

2020 Acura ILX Safety

The ILX received a five-star crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but it was not rated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as a top safety choice. The ILX also has a myriad of standard driver assistance technologies such as customizable cruise control and more. Key safety features include the standard forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking, standard departure lane warning and lane assistance, and blind-spot monitoring and rear traffic alert included for 2020 Acura ILX Type-S.

As we move into 2020 drivers are looking for replacements for their old gas hogs and many are looking towards the new models boasting some amazing fuel efficiency ratings.
