Double win for Audi in “Four-Wheel-Drive Cars of the Year 2006”
Readers vote Audi Q7 and A8 number 1
The readers’ poll of the “AUTO BILD alles allrad” trade journal saw two Audi models beating all the competition to claim the “four-wheel-drive car of the year 2006” title. First place went to the Audi Q7 in the “luxury-class off-road vehicle & SUV” category, while the Audi A8 quattro topped the “luxury-class four-wheel-drive passenger car” category, followed by the Audi A6 quattro in second place. The Audi A4 quattro and the Audi A3 quattro also made it onto the podium in their respective classes.
Audi was the clear winner in the “luxury-class four-wheel-drive passenger car” category: between them, the Audi A8 quattro and the Audi A6 quattro won just under 50 percent of the readers’ votes in this category. The Audi A4 achieved second place in the “midsize four-wheel-drive passenger car” category with the Audi A3 completing the outstanding performance of the Audi brand by taking third place in the “compact-class four-wheel drive passenger car” category.
The triumph of the new Audi Q7 in its class is particularly worthy of mention. In this case, the readers voted for a luxury-class SUV, which, at the time of the poll, was not yet available for viewing at dealership showrooms. Readers were able to choose from a total of 105 models in 9 categories this year, with more than 500,000 votes having been cast.
Jörg Felske, Head of Sales Germany at AUDI AG, took receipt of the trophies during the Auto Mobil International (AMI) fair in Leipzig on Friday, 30th March.
