The Audi A7 Sportback* is the “2019 World Luxury Car.” The A7 Sportback is the second Audi to take home the award after the Audi A8* won it last year. The awards were presented last week at the New York International Auto Show.
The World Car jury, consisting of 86 members from 24 countries, voted to distinguish the Audi A7 Sportback as the best new luxury car on the world market. This is the tenth victory for Audi in one of the World Car categories.
“It is a great honor for Audi to win the ‘World Luxury Car’ award twice in a row,” says Hans-Joachim Rothenpieler, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG Technical Development. “We are very proud of this award because it shows Audi’s ability to develop leading premium cars in various segments.”
THE word Porsche (pronunciation: por-sho ) is synonymous with high-performance, exclusivity, and luxury. Therefore, the jet-setting confines of Sandals Aerodrome in Tinson Pen, Kingston, served as the perfect location for the launch of the 2019 Cayenne and the 2019 Macan.
“These cars are built as the ultimate standard. They’re performance SUVs (sports utility vehicles) and today we have almost a 100 Porsches on the roads in Jamaica,” Adam Stewart, deputy chairman of the Sandals/ATL Group of Companies, told the Jamaica Observer’s weekly Auto magazine. The Jamaica Observer is part of the ATL Group.
“Porsche is really the top of the food chain … Porsche operates under a philosophy of evolution, not revolution,” he continued.
THE thought of not being able to access the right parts and reliable service may prove a deterrent for many prospective car owners.
But Adam Stewart, deputy chairman of Sandals Resorts International and ATL Group of Companies, used last Saturday’s launch of the 2019 Porsche Cayenne and 2019 Porsche Macan to tell prospective and current owners that they had nothing to worry about in this regard.
Even though the sedan market is shrinking, there is still hope for the subcompact market, which the Kia Rio is in. Its hatchback design is great, especially when the rear seats are folded down, giving the driver access to over 17.4 cu.ft. of cargo space.
The Rio is no stranger to the automotive market, having been around since 2000. It is now in its fourth generation. This model was first presented in 2016, and Kia made some obvious tweaks to better appeal to its customer base. The hatchback model is 15mm longer, 5mm wider and 5mm shorter in height than its predecessor.
FOR city folks, the five-door KIA Picanto is ideal as it matches comfort and value with a lifestyle characterised by traffic congestion and limited parking experienced.
Externally, the stubby styling highlighted by KIA’s signature ‘tiger’ front grille and some aggressive angles, partly due to its size, gives the Picanto a more sporty visual differentiation to its class rivals.
Tuesday, 26 February 2019 – By popular demand, Audi Jamaica presents the all new Audi Q5 TDI now with diesel engines.
The SUV, Jamaica’s best-selling premium SUV for 6 out of the last 7 years, combines the sportiness of an Audi saloon with a multifaceted character, a highly flexible interior and now, for the first time ever, a diesel engine. Whether in its connectivity, efficiency or driver assistance systems – the new Audi Q5 TDI, starting from $8.4M, once again sets standards in its segment.
