Nearly all of German premium car manufacturer Audi’s latest models have collected top honors from the Middle Eastern media. The Q5, Audi’s new 5-seater SUV, was recently named “SUV of the Year” by Car Middle East magazine as well as “Best Compact SUV” by Middle East Car.
Further awards went to the new Audi R8 V10 with “Best Performance Car” by Middle East Car magazine and “Most Popular Sportscar” from Auto Sport magazine, the RS 6, which was named “Best Sports Saloon” by Wheels magazine, as well as the Audi Q7, which received the title of “4x4 of the Year 2010” by Saudi Auto magazine.
Jeff Mannering, Managing Director of Audi Middle East, said “It is great to receive awards from acclaimed German or European car magazines, but the feedback from the Middle East region is what really counts for us.”
Among the recent international awards received by Audi were OFF ROAD magazine’s “Off-road vehicle of the year” for the Q5 and first places in their respective categories for the Audi A4, R8 Spyder and Audi Q5 in the “auto motor und sport” magazine “Best Cars of 2010” readers poll.
