Audi school’s back
The tenth year of Audi Australia’s local Audi Driving Experience programs will be the biggest yet
Ever wanted to drift an Audi RS 6, carve apexes in an Audi R8 or experience hot hatch heaven in an Audi RS 3?
Your chance to do so is back on the cards with the reinstatement of Audi Australia’s Audi Driving Experience program for 2021.
The global pandemic’s local effects saw the Audi racetrack program forced off-track in 2020. But the gradual opening up of Australian borders and its racetracks has seen the Audi Driving Experience (ADE) back in action for 2021, its tenth year of operation.

Audi Australia has confirmed its SQ2 performance compact SUV will arrive in Australia in May, priced from $64,400. This is the first time customers are being offered a performance variant of the Q2.
The SQ2 features a 2.0-litre TFSI turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine that develops 221kW and 400Nm, making it one of the most powerful SUVs in its class. All of that is sent through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and into Audi’s renowned quattro all-wheel drive system. Flat out, Audi says 0-100km/h comes up in just 4.9 seconds.
To help with handling the new model comes with S sport suspension as standard, which lowers the ride height by 20mm over the regular Q2. Audi’s S division has also made revisions to the steering for a progressive character, and drivers can select from Efficiency, Dynamic, and Auto driving modes, along with an Individual mode to customise settings.

Hot new small SUV rival for Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 and BMW X2 M35i is ready to rumble
The Audi SQ2 is finally about to land in Australia, and the long-awaited rival for the Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 and BMW X2 M35i is sure to make its presence felt with a starting price of $64,400 plus on-road costs.
Armed with a 221kW/400Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, the 2021 Audi SQ2 is positioned miles below the Mercedes-AMG GLA 35, which starts at $83,700 plus ORCs and has a comparable 225kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo.
Audi Australia has confirmed details and prices for the 2021 SQ5 TDI diesel, which is scheduled to arrived in April. The diesel returns as a permanent model following popular demand of the TDI special edition announced in September.
The new model is powered by a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 that churns out 251kW and a meaty 700Nm, which is matched to an eight-speed auto transmission, with Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system ensuring optimum traction at all times. There’s also a self-locking centre differential capable of directing up to 85 per cent of the engine’s power to the rear axle.
It’s a quick SUV for its class, offering 0-100km/h sprints in a claimed 5.1 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h. At the other end of the spectrum, fuel consumption on the official combined cycle is rated at 7.0L/100km, giving it a very good power-to-efficiency ratio.
