All 3 German luxury brands have lost their way in terms of design Nobody can sit here and tell me that their 2024 line-ups look better than their 2014 line-ups

[@alexoblashki]

Ikr? Most of their new cars look ugly and dull. Also, you get the most cheap-ass build quality and 100K tons of tech, which is more useless than the white crayon. And that's not only with the Germans. Almost every car manufacturer has gone into this. Nowadays is better off to buy a brand new entry-level Dacia than a bloody "luxury" car lol.

[@23Piccolina]

You are absolutely correct! And they wonder why they are losing sales? Their designers are not Italian. They need Pininfarina or ItalDesign because the Germans do not have it any more.

[@terokaakinen7061]

Audi has best looking SUV (Q7) and EV (RS Etron GT)...

[@alexoblashki]

@@terokaakinen7061 sorry, MOST of their new cars look ugly

[@orionv75]

The new models A5/6/Q6…the panorama MMI just doesn’t look good. The older mmi allowing basics like speed dials looked so much better.

Front grill openings are too big, loose stones and birds will easily damage the condenser and the radiator

[@cbotten106]

Setting that practical notion aside, it looks bloody awful as well.

[@jj2950]

It’s what happens when you facelift a car twice - they’ve run out of ideas so it’s change just for the sake of it. It needs a complete refresh but I suspect they thought we’d all be driving electric cars by now so didn’t plan for a replacement.

[@bokebryant3985]

it's what they want probably lol

[@jarekaugustyn4598]

[@benoit.b9337]

The Q7/Q8 are still elegant and solid. The same could be said for the Touareg, though I do worry we have come to the end of the road for these vehicles.

[@964tractorboy]

The front-end looks like it's just had a head-on smash; so many gaping holes. But luckily it's a really small grille, not like an ugly BMW.

[@_petar]

Glad the interior screen layout is better than their other newer models, but the front grille - hell holes! Just watched the part about fuel consumption especially in the city, absolutely barbaric and a big red nonono!

[@manikkumar2709]

Screen studded in dashboard is way better tham floating screens. No one can change my mind

Excellent review thanks ! When I see the level of the comments in this video....most of the people commenting could not afford an A3, yet they speak like expert on a car that does 250km/h like nothing, yeah, keep us informed about your expertise people.

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers!

4:30 happened to me in my 2023 Q5. My wife complained about it every time she closed the door. I opened my side window just a little for air pressure relief...and no need to o use extra force to close it.😊

[@autogefuehl]

😅

[@limounas]

These audi’s keep getting uglier and uglier imo. Especially the headlamps and grill section oh and please stop with all these black packages

[@ETr4d3]

YES! One of our business/family cars is a 2014 A8L, I think it got one of the best headlights designs of any Audi. But the rear is very boring. Newer A8's headlights are so much uglier, but the rear got better.

[@JMNTN]

The grill looks like the designer sketched something and then the engineers plopped on everything afterwards to make stuff work, that's probably literally what happened.

[@אלִיהו-ז8ס]

14:08 Are u ok Leah ???? 😅

[@andreasidarto7822]

Yes, the integration is nice

[@danzen6246]

I know you are an advocate for vegan leather but you need to understand that it is impossible to make it perfectly close to regular leather even if they make it 98% or 99% close to original leather it will never be 100% perfect

[@paulozavala3232]

Please please Audi! Stock to this style in the future! I was so disappointed when i saw the new Q5 interior! I dont want tondrive a infotaimer! I want to drive a car!

[@Coinresearcherant]

Why aren't manufacturers listening to customers? Animal skin free. Physical buttons. No piano scratchy black. Softer arm rest areas. Felt-lined door bins. Let's carry on with unsafe, heavy, over-priced cars. Continue with poor design, with an armrest crushing your new £1400 iphone 16. What the actual ford?!! Thank goodness Thomas and Lea give us great reviews.

[@misterdoubleonenadia750]

Is there coming also a rs model

[@pwelele]

Nice rocks and leaves eater, then leaking fluids, broken engine, here's your bill sir ❤

[@Cernold]

Audi so good so why USA don't like dsg and in Europe VW group offers only sub par products?

[@igorcholewinski6530]

Unfortunately, everything at Audi comes at an extra cost. For 4,000 euros you can have the interior trim in leather. The upper parts of the doors will additionally be covered in natural leather.

[@cbotten106]

That's an expenditure that Thomas surely would not make. 🤣

[@Brozay401]

Is this Q7 just an S-Line Q7 or is it a full SQ7?

[@tranxuancong889]

the new headlights look a bit goofy imo

[@cbotten106]

Matches that grill quite nicely, in a bad way.

[@Ramzes945]

Animal skin steering wheel. Thanks Audi for that. VW makes steering wheels out of eco leather and hands get sweaty thanks to that genius solution

[@autogefuehl]

There are good materials out there without animal source - u just need a good one

[@Ramzes945]

@@autogefuehl VAG group hasn't invented eco leather good enough to give you the same driving feedback as the real leather

[@xaralampidisdimitris]

The car is very good, but the design it ‘s classical . From the 2015 it’s almost the same ….

[@cricho15]

The price rises and the comfort and sportiness fall. Audi is probably ready for a purchase by Chinese investors. This lousy infotainment system was already scary in this price range in 2019. But as we see with the new models, things can always be worse. Audi - regression through technology.

[@EzioA01]

Front outside the exterior looks so so. Not to nice design of headlights. The interior, idk, but haven't the wow effect

[@rukmingohel8123]

Great reviews, but pronounce vehicle properly! It’s not Veekle, it’s vehicle

[@cbotten106]

Syllable police alert! His English is very, very good in general. I love Thomas' accent. ❤. And who calls the Star Wars trash compacter the 'squishing pit', those moments are great.

[@mrjason5626]

Too much vw plastic inside ❌❗️

[@shaynerism]

That grill is hideous. How many stones etc are going to fly in and do damage on that thing? Just dreadful.

[@cbotten106]

That radiator will look like a toothless jack o'lantern shortly.

Looks awful. Germany has fallen off the bandwagon on its quality control on all German made vehicles.

[@S_Paoli]

previous version was not ugly. The new one is. (sad but true) Who is in charge of these ugly new Audi vehicles? :(

[@23Piccolina]

Hello Thomas....this front grill is hideous. Pretty soon new vehicle grills will become bigger than the rest of the car! ha ha ha Such a tacky, peasant look. Who are these companies trying to appeal to? Certainly not customers with taste and class.

[@dekoeneridder2452]

I never got it....such an expensive care and microfibre seats...such a cop out. MF is sooo cheap, just make the seats leather, they are 50% leather already. Don't come with the argument MF is getting less hot or holding you better in place. RS models got that beautifull quilted leather and those are awesome!

[@autogefuehl]

A good quality leatherette will do fine

[@Gioamor99]

German is the new Chinese in terms of design. Really bad exterior and interior design .

[@laszgesza8920]

old infotainment system .... and slow

Arm rest design tells me No thank you . Think coz All Audi designers have left for China etc Big Money jobs and left behind are VW designers . Audi for me has gone the way of Ferrari build a car Stick the badge on it and call it… for me the Top VW group car is The SKODA not even Bentley. This what happens when everybody uses the Same chassis (yes I know save money etc).
