Three Audi models were voted best in their class by nearly 100,000 readers of ‘Auto Zeitung’ in the ‘The Auto Trophy 2011′. Nearly 100,000 readers of ‘Auto Zeitung’ magazine voted on more than 393 models in 29 categories.

The Audi Q3, Audi A1 and Audi A5 Sportback picked up three of the most coveted awards of the year as they finished top of their classes.

Five other Audi models finished in second place in their categories, along with four third-place finishes, while Audi was also honored for the best advertisement.

Introduced in the German market only a few weeks ago, the new Audi Q3 promptly secured first place in the ‘SUVs up to 30,000 euros’ category. The Q3 has already arrived in M25 Audi Centres for test drives and first deliveries to customers will be early in 2012.

In the ‘mid-size’ category, the Audi A5 Sportback was voted as best, giving the dynamic four-door coupé the Auto Trophy for the third time in a row.

The Audi A1 completed the triple success in the Auto Trophy 2011. Once again landing top spot in the ‘all subcompact cars’ category, as it did in 2010.

These outstanding results were rounded out with second place finishes for the Audi A6 (full-size class), the Audi A8 (luxury class), the Audi R8 (supercars), the Audi R8 Spyder (convertibles over 30,000 euros) and the Audi RS 5 (sports cars).

The Audi A7 Sportback (full-size class), the Audi Q5 (SUVs over 30,000 euros), the Audi A3 (compact cars) and the Audi A3 Cabriolet (convertibles up to 30,000 euros) each took third place in their categories.

New generation Audis remove the fear from filling up

Drivers of 2011 model year Audi A4, A5 and Q5 TDI diesel models will no longer have to face the consequences of accidentally filling their tank with petrol, thanks to a new preventative system built into the fuel filler neck.

The neck has been redesigned by Audi to ensure it cannot accommodate petrol nozzles. An internal fuel flap will open only when the larger diesel pump nozzle makes contact with it. The smaller diameter petrol nozzles do not make contact, so the filler flap remains closed and prevents access to the reservoir. It will also prevent any spillage on the forecourt.

This latest advance will be of particular interest to companies running vehicle fleets, but will also reassure for private motorists making the switch from petrol and those who aren’t the car’s sole user.

The newly-equipped cars in the A4, A5 and Q5 family will be joined by further Audi models soon as the system is rolled out gradually.
