Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I am checking for a luxury and comfortable SUV . Which would I prefer the all new Range Rover Evoque or the all new Audi Q3?
  • Audi Q3 has grown in all dimensions over its predecessor. Its design philosophy is now more in-line with Audi’s newer SUVs like the Q5 and facelifted Q7, making it look sharper and sportier than before. It also gets a 2-litre turbo-petrol mill mated to a 7-speed DCT; comes with AWD as standard. On the other hand, the Range Rover Evoque doesn’t disappoint when it comes to luxury, performance, or even driving dynamics for that matter. Its rear seat space, transmission, and low-speed ride may not be the best in class. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
