Audi rolls out its Crossover



Audi's take on the sibling VW Touareg SUV, the Q7, will be one of the brand's key models on the stands at Frankfurt this year.

Audi describe it as a 'crossover' that then a true SUV, aiming it at the luxury car market. It will also have seven seats, making it a rival directly against Mercedes-Benz's new B Class.

BMW are also moving into this crossover area, but the Audi will have a head start on it and will also benefit from the halo effect of the successful Touareg and the platform-sharing Porsche Cayenne. Brian Byrne.
