From the initial reviews of the Audi Q5 it looks like a German SUV/4WD is finally getting to grips with the 4WD/SUV market in the UK, and stands a good chance of weaning the UK public away from their love of the landy (in particular the Land Rover Freelander) something both BMW and Mercedes have had problems with in the past.

Auto Traders Sam Hardy Comments:

“With best-in-class residuals predicted and the allure of the Audi badge, the Q5 is the most desirable compact SUV bar none.”

“the Audi Q5 is the car this class (mid-sized SUVs) has been waiting for”

The Audi Q7 has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick award for 2008.

The 2008 Audi Q7 received a “good” rating in all three crash tests: side impact, offset frontal and rear impact seat tests. In addition to the Q7, three Audi car models, the A3, A4 and A6 have also been recognised as Top Safety Picks in 2008, earning Audi the most Top Safety Pick designations in 2008.

Johan de Nysschen, executive vice president, Audi of America said: ‘For Audi, safety and performance have always gone hand in hand: our cars are engineered to offer the best not just in crash protection, but in preventing traffic accidents altogether. With the launch of the Audi Q7 TDI clean diesel in 2009, American SUV buyers will have even more options from which to choose for safety as well as fuel economy, convenience and performance.’

To qualify for the IIHS’s Top Safety Pick award, a vehicle must receive the highest rating of good in the Institute’s front, side, and rear tests and be equipped with electronic stability control, which Audi has standard on all its models.

Audi’s commitment to safety goes beyond crash test safety ratings to include a comprehensive list of active and passive safety features. The Q7 also features Audi’s quattro permanent all-wheel standard on all models, providing high levels of active safety and traction on virtually any surface. All of these features are designed to help reduce the chances of a collision.

A cross-party committee of MPs the Environmental Audit Committee has come out in favour of the Chancellor’s plans to reform Vehicle Excise Duty (VED).

The Chancellor has come under criticism from his own backbenchers as well as opponents for his plans to retrospectively apply the VED changes, which will push millions of cars into higher road tax bands. Fleets running higher-polluting vehicles, such as MPVs and four-wheel drive SUVs, will be forced to pay hundreds of pounds more to tax each vehicle from 2010, even if they are already on the road.

It is this retrospective application of the new VED rates that has provoked the most criticism.

However, an Environmental Audit Committee report said:

"there is nothing intrinsically unfair or unusual about setting new VED rates for cars that have already been purchased”.

They went on to say:

“It makes perfect sense to re-band existing cars, based on their respective carbon emissions, as this can be a way of influencing buyers of second-hand cars to choose models with lower emissions. This is enormously important, given that three-quarters of all car sales are second-hand.”

The committee of MPs also suggested that the Chancellor should “urgently examine proposals for a car scrappage scheme” that would provide payments in return for taking high emissions cars off the road.

Such a move has been cautiously welcomed by the SMMT, which represents motor manufacturers and dealers.

A SMMT source said

“We would be supportive of any scheme designed to encourage consumers into lower emission cars, However, we would look to government to explain how it would work without causing market distortions and be effective in encouraging consumers to buy more efficient vehicles. At present there seems to be no clear structure to the scheme and we would caution against anything which caused market fluctuations which might only bring forward a car purchase as opposed to the implementation of a long-term replacement cycle.”

The MPs also said the Treasury should have taken much greater care to explain the changes to VED in the Budget.

“If the point of green taxes is to change behaviour, they need to be properly publicised, so that people are fully aware of what they are being encouraged to do."
