Lesser-powered 55 TFSI e models use the same powertrain fitted to the Q5, A6 and A7, whilst the range-topping 60 TFSI e features a higher-output version of the same setup, delivering 436bhp and 700Nm of torque. In contrast to the others, the A8 uses an eight-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. All of Audi鈥檚 upcoming TFSI e models feature 14.1kWh lithium-ion battery packs mounted under the boot floor, with all claiming an electric-only range of more than 40km (25 miles) on the WLTP regime. Drivers can select from three powertrain modes called 鈥淓V,鈥?鈥淎uto鈥?and 鈥淗old,鈥?which set the cars priorities for either all-electric drive, fully automated hybrid drive or a 鈥減ower saving鈥?mode. The final setting retains a constant level of charge in the batteries, allowing for pure-electric running at the end of a journey. In addition, buyers benefit from an additional set of drive modes, (called 鈥渃omfort,鈥?鈥渆fficiency,鈥?鈥渁uto,鈥?and 鈥渄ynamic鈥?, which influence the powertrain鈥檚 responsiveness, damper firmness and steering weight. In 鈥渄ynamic鈥?mode, for example, the suspension is stiffened, the steering鈥檚 power assistance is reduced and the electric motor works in tandem with the internal combustion engine to provide the maximum amount of performance available for each powertrain. Buyers can also opt for a mode 3 cable for public charging and a domestic cable for charging at home. Owners can also request access to Audi鈥檚 own network of chargers at an additional fee. Prices for all four models are yet to be announced, but we expect more information to surface following their Geneva reveals.
The small performance SUV segment has gone from 0-100mph in six months flat. The BMW X2 M35i you see here follows the Cupra Ateca and Audi SQ2, and will be joined by the spicy Volkswagen T-Roc R before the end of the year. For BMW, the X2 was the perfect candidate; the brand鈥檚 smallest and sharpest SUV is among the most dynamic cars of its type, handling neatly even in standard front-wheel drive guise. But for the M35i, BMW has ramped things up a notch. It gets the same TwinPower 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine as the forthcoming M135i, mated to the same intelligent xDrive set-up. Like its main rivals there鈥檚 about 300bhp on tap, plus a 0-62mph sprint of around five seconds. However, unlike its main rivals, even the cheapest X2 M35i costs more than 拢40,000. Quite a lot more, too, with prices starting from 拢43,315. That鈥檚 拢6k more than the Audi and almost 拢7,500 more than the Cupra. It鈥檚 well equipped, granted, but that鈥檚 not far off what you鈥檒l pay for an entry-level Porsche Macan.
And when you consider that car鈥檚 far stronger residual values, there鈥檚 likely to be little more than a fag paper between them when it comes to monthly finance costs. Price aside, the M35i headlines with a plethora of upgrades over the standard X2, including specifically tuned M Sport suspension and mechanical limited-slip diff, as well as a tweaked eight-speed gearbox with launch control. All this helps the racier X2 feel like a proper pocket rocket. You sit low, and it鈥檚 alarmingly quick at times - showing little struggle in hauling well past the three-figure speeds on a stretch of deserted German autobahn. The gearbox responds well in every drive mode, delivering an characteristic thump in the back on Sport-mode enabled full-bore upshifts. But while the X2 impresses point-to-point, it ultimately lacks excitement. Where the Ateca inherits much of the hot SEAT Leon鈥檚 scrabbly, unhinged character, the X2 feels muted and less engaging than the old M140i ever did. Part of that is down to the downsized four-cylinder engine, granted, but even compared with the identically endowed Cupra, the BMW feels a little too sensible for its own good.
