Engine management

This year will surely go down as the busiest ever in the history of Audi, and it's not finished yet.

First up is a new 158bhp 1.8-litre turbocharged engine for the A3, although this engine will soon be rolled out across the A4 range too.

Called the A3 1.8 TFSi, it sees off 0-62mph in 8.0 seconds flat and tops out at 136mph, while economy of 38.6mpg is possible. Prices start at £18,100 for this model.

Next, we have a new 2.8-litre V6 FSi petrol engine for the A6 range, which churns out 207bhp through manual or auto gearboxes. Top speed is 151mph and 0-62mph takes 7.9 seconds, and all from £29,125.

Last but very much not least is the Q7 SUV's new 3.6-litre V6 FSi engine with 276bhp. That's enough to punt the Q7's considerable bulk from 0-62mph in 8.5 seconds and on to 142mph.

You can order the Q7 now at prices from £38,250.
