Audi reveals small SUV concept



This is the Audi Shooting Brake Concept revealed at the Detroit International Auto Show today, previewing both a subcompact SUV Allroad production model and details that will transfer to the next TT sports coupe, writes Brian Byrne.

The showcar is powered by a plug-in hybrid system that the company claims will provide a 148mpg equivalent fuel consumption.

Whatever about the high-tech elements, the car suggests that Audi will be joining the growing ranks of the small SUV market, a segment where many marques see further potential.
