2020 Audi Q4 Will Be A Smaller And Sexy Q8 Alternative

But what about an RS Q4?

Last year we learned that Audi was developing the first-ever Q4 crossover, based on the same MQB platform underpinning the current Q3. Why do the Q4? Two reasons: there’s a growing market for four-door coupe-styled crossovers, and because the number four exists. So, what can we expect from this compact crossover boasting sleeker styling than the Q3?

According to Autocar, it will be slightly longer than the Q3 by about 4.3 inches due to its heavily curved roofline and liftback-style tailgate. Its general exterior styling will be inspired by the TT Offroad Concept, first shown back in 2014, but there will certainly be a number of updates more in line with the automaker’s latest styling language.

Positioned as a direct competitor against the BMW X2, Range Rover Evoque, and Mercedes-Benz GLA, the Q4’s interior will boast full-HD infotainment displays, a 9.2-inch touchscreen with navigation, gesture control functions, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Power is set to come from a new generation of 1.5-liter gasoline and diesel engines, though don’t expect the latter to be offered in the US. An updated version of the current 2.0-liter turbo four will also be offered. Expect to see the Q4 receive the e-tron treatment with a plug-in hybrid version with up to 31 miles of EV-only range arriving at a later date.

But we suspect enthusiasts will be drawn to the RS Q4 and its all-new 2.5-liter five-cylinder gasoline engine with up to 400 hp, though we can’t confirm whether or not this will debut at the same time as the base models. Like BMW, Audi will continue to expand its Q-branded crossover lineup even further, beyond the Q4. What’s next? The Q6, which will reportedly be a pure electric. We expect to see the Audi Q4 make its official debut sometime early next year before it goes on sale as a 2020 model in about a year’s time.

If You Can't Afford a BMW 1 Series M, There Is A Much Cheaper Alternative

Everyone loves the 1 Series M, but prices are out of control.

Here's an unpopular opinion: the BMW 1 Series M is overhyped. Before BMW enthusiasts hunt me down for my blasphemous statement, I should explain. The BMW 1 Series M is one of the most publicly praised M cars in recent history. Upon announcing the car, there was a public outcry for BMW to build more. Only 2,500 units were originally planned, but BMW ended up building 6,309 (some of which have been crashed). Almost overnight, the 1 Series M became more of a collector's item than an actual car.

When it was new back in 2011, the base MSRP of the 1 Series M was $47,010. A normal car would have depreciated by at least half of its value seven years later in 2018, but the 1 Series M is not a normal car. Instead, the lowest list price we found for a 1 Series M was a shade under $60,000. Not only has the car held its value, it's actually gone up. So what do you get for your $60,000 today? The 1 Series M was noted to be one of the most driver-focused M cars in quite some time. The car is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo N54 inline-six producing 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque going out to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.

The car also has a overboost function, increasing peak torque to 369 lb-ft. It is at this point we'd like to point out the 1M is not all that fast of a car. It's quick, but not blistering. 0-60 mph takes 4.5 seconds and the quarter-mile is dispensed in 13 seconds flat. A brand-new M240i can match these numbers at a base price of $45,445 while offering better interior technology. It's amazing to think that a brand-new M240i is actually cheaper than the older 1 Series M, but it is not the "much cheaper alternative" we mentioned in the title. That honor goes to the 135is, which can now be purchased for around half of the 1M's original asking price.

We ran a search for used 135is examples, and we found results starting at around $20,000. This means a 135is is currently around one third the price of the 1M. So what do you get for your $20,000? Unfortunately, the 135is is not as powerful as its big brother with "only" 320 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. For one third the price as the 1M, 15 hp doesn't really seem like a huge loss. The small power dip causes the 135is to be slightly slower than the 1M with a 0-60 mph time at 4.6 seconds and 13.3 seconds in the quarter-mile. $40,000 seem like a lot of money to save in order to sacrifice fractions of a second in sprint times.

Even though the 135is is down on power compared to the 1M, it actually has a newer engine. The 1M uses an older N54 twin-turbo engine, whereas the 135is uses the newer twin-scroll turbo N55. Most buyers are going to want to tune these engines, so the power difference is highly insignificant. There are other elements which differentiate the 1M from other 1 Series models. The wider stance of the 1M is very iconic, but we aren't sure it's worth paying triple the price. The 135is was only sold for a single year (2013) in North America. Buyers could choose from a coupe or convertible with either a six-speed manual or an optional seven-speed DCT.

The 1M may have been rare, but the 135is may actually be even rarer. BMW only built 816 units in the US (586 coupe and 213 convertibles). Even if Canada received a similar number of cars, the 135is would still be more than three times as rare as the 1M. If it was our money, the decision would be easy. Why buy the car everyone is hyping, when for one third of the price you could have something nearly as special?

Here's Proof Alpina Is Working On BMW X7 M Alternative

If an X7 M never materializes, at least we have Alpina.

The BMW X7 is still pretty hot-off-the-presses after being revealed just a few days ago. Like the smaller X5, the X7 is powered by either a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six producing 335 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque or a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 developing 456 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. Two diesel engines are also available in Europe.

Even with well over 400 hp in its xDrive50i trim, we're waiting to see if BMW will actually build an M version of the X7. We've seen renderings of what an X7 M could look like but its production is far from guaranteed. Luckily, Alpina is working on its own alternative.

Alpina is a German manufacturer that works closely with BMW to produce high-performance models that are also comfortable. We've even argued that Alpina BMWs are even cooler than BMW M models for a certain type of buyer. Even if BMW doesn't do an X7 M, our spy photographers have just snapped pictures of a mysterious camouflaged X7 on the Nurburgring. Since the X7 has already been revealed, it doesn't make much sense for BMW to still hide it. That's because this is actually a prototype for the upcoming Alpina XD7.

It's hard to infer much about the styling because of the camo. The car appears to have intercoolers behind the front air intakes to help cool down the engine. On the standard X7, these intakes are purely aesthetic. Alpina will likely use the 3.0-liter quad-turbo inline-six diesel engine from the X5 and X7 M50d, which produces 400 hp and 556 lb-ft of torque, though it will likely be tuned to produce at least 450 hp. Along with the performance upgrades, the XD7 will be given a unique interior, quad exhaust tips, and the classic Alpina wheels.

Since BMW doesn't sell the M50d in the US, we doubt the Aplina will be sold here either. Unless Alpina also tuned the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, the XD7 will remain forbidden fruit. Expect the Alpina XD7 to arrive in September 2019 at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
