What's new

Audi Pakistan

Mate its approximately 26500 quid , car prices over are much more than there , we've got a Q7 there
what an audi Qseries with four wheel drive is less then 3 grand. this can't be right

this car in the UK brand new would cost over 20 grand. even a brand new VW golf is like £26000 starting price.
 
New entrants are getting incentives

And I know the import policy favours cars under 1 litre... they also have a different policy for cars under 1.4 litre if I remember correctly and then the tax is doubled at 2 litre...

I am sure 1.4 litre engine is also likely to be introduced and if Audi has negotiated a good deal with the government then 2 litre should also be on the card

I am just guessing but I think they will offer 1 litre for 3 million, 1.4 for 3.2 million... and may be 2.0 for 3.5 million...

The problem is that CBU imports get taxed at a very high rate, and the market is too small to actually manufacture cars within Pakistan to take advantage of the tax breaks on offer for domestic production. Hence, locally produced crap continues to compete against high priced imports.
 
I think the model numbers are different from region to region. For example in Canada/North America we do not have Q2, there is only Q3/Q5/Q7. Also A5 is a two-door coupe with a very sporty look and not a four-door sedan as shown in the picture in the OP.


Anyways this is excellent news and finally Pakistan is moving away from the monopoly of the Japanese mafia.
 
after 3 years; electricals fail; water and fuel pump go; in RSA we have a long history with VW; Audi & BMW are the highest depreciating vehicles in entire list of vehicles on the road; noone touches them 2nd hand as parts are more expensive and very specific.

Yes, a 1-litre three-cylinder turbo, which develops 113bhp and 147lb ft, and whose forged internals mean it’s a proper little bantamweight – just 88kg all in, in fact. For an internal combustion engine, that’s hardly anything at all.

It’s a virtuous circle: light internals means less need for a heavy balancer shaft to smooth out the odd cylinder count’s inherent wobbliness, so the engine stays lighter, and so on.

But no good for tailgating with such measly power?

The A3 1.0 TFSI is not a fast car. Cars tuned to deliver a combined 62.8mpg and 104g/km of CO2 rarely are. But, these three-cylinder turbo engines have a habit of punching well above their (small) weight by being so peppy and keen, and that same trait we like in various 1.0-litre Fords, Vauxhalls and VWs rings true here. Or should that be ‘thrums’.

Officially, it’ll do 0-62mph in 9.7 seconds and 128mph flat out, but the in-gear shove is completely acceptable for dashing along the motorway. The three-pot revs keenly up to 4,500rpm but then starts to sweat and strain. You need to work a bit for your torque here.

Still, it’s a match for the old 1.2-litre engine’s performance (itself a turbo downsized from 1.6s of old) and actually sounds characterful, not dull. That’s a bonus. You’d rather have a fun than flat sounding engine, wouldn’t you?

Should I go for an auto or manual?

Audi’s optional seven-speed S-tronic gearbox is a fine transmission for making the most of the bijou outputs. But the manual is a peach when hooked up to this bubbly engine. It’s a crisp and premium-feeling shift that adds engagement and allows you to make the most of that peppy engine and decent chassis.
 
This is in response to BMW introducing X-1 in Pakistan.

1.0 turbocharged is equivalent of how much NA engine? 1.6?

Hi,

1.0 turbo charged engine would be sufficient for pakistani market and roads---. It would not only be turbo charged but would have TFSI as well.

Here is a link for different websites that would share with you what the audi 2.0L output is---.

https://www.google.com/search?sourc... engine horspower&aqs=chrome..69i57.16638j0j7

It is not about the horsepower---but what is the TORQUE---at what RPM's that makes the car go.

If audi is putting in a 1.0L----turbo---it would be sufficient---maybe like a 1.8 L NA engine or more in get up and go.

Initial buying price isn't the only consideration that has to be put into the decision of buying a car.

Audi/BMW/Mercedes/Saab/Volkswagen/Volvo are expensive cars to maintain. Brake rotors for a Toyota/Honda cost maybe $28 a piece, for the European cars $38-50.

And that i'm not talking about the more extensive diagnostics or repairs where you have to take off entire pieces or remove the engine/transmission from the body. For one simple thing you have to remove 2 things to get to it.

Want to change the Timing belt or Waterpump? Easiest way is to remove the entire front bumper, headlights, radiator & support, under carriage covers, & bumper support. That takes almost 1/2 of the repair time of the entire job, and that's if you have the memory to know what nuts and bolts go where when your reassembling the car again.

This is from experience of working at my father's repair shop.

I had to change the control arms on my VW Passat (similar to A4) the 4 parts themselves hardly weighting 1 pound came out to $600, I took a shortcut to replacing them by not removing the struts, took me 3 hours of pplying and parring and cursing.
 
But these European brand hard to maintained in Pakistani market. So, better stick with simple cars .

Or get extended warranty as part of negotiation with the dealership. Then it will be Audi's problem. Audi is worth it as long as you have extended warranty. :D

In US used European car has lowest market when come to Japanese top brand, Lexus, MDX etc. German introduced hundreds of maintenance sensor in there car , how can Pakistani " ustad/mechanic " will understand the circuit board....
Here people avoid to confront European cars. Because need very deep pockets to maintained these cars.
