The PHEV version is the clear choice for company car users. Officially, it can travel 88 miles on electric power alone, which is good for your tax bills. With its total power output of 201bhp and 0-62mph time of 7.4 seconds, performance is strong.

Audi is a brand that sets the standard for interior quality, and this, combined with its vast and ever-growing model line-up, has helped it become one of the ‘big three’ German prestige car makers, along with BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

The A3 hatchback, A4 executive saloon and Q7 SUV are all common - yet upmarket - sights on UK roads.

At least some of Audi's success over the past 30 years can be attributed to the growth in sales of vehicles with four-wheel drive; the company arguably led the way in bringing 4x4 technology into the mainstream, with its Quattro coupé in the early 1980s.

Today, most Audis are available with at least the option of four-wheel drive, while the list of SUVs from the brand includes the Q2, Q3, Q5 and Q7.

Black Edition trim is steeply priced considering its offerings. It primarily adds a black exterior styling package, 19in wheels and door-mounted LEDs that project the Audi logo on to the ground as you exit the vehicle.

Audi A3

Comfortable, enjoyable to drive and sufficiently spacious inside for most part, the Audi A3 is as good as ever – better even, now that a facelift has brought the level of interior quality up. The Sport 35 TFSI version is the best of the bunch, with higher-end engine and trim combos pushing the price too far up to recommend. 

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Plenty of practical space </li> <li>Low running costs </li> <li>A comfortable ride </li> <li>A healthy equipment list </li> <li>Quality materials and thoughtful touches inside </li> <li>Rock-solid reliability</li></ul>

Family cars arguably have the toughest brief of all: they have to be good at pretty much everything. They’re used as the daily drive, on the school run or work commute (often both), and have to be able to cope with a family’s clutter on weekends and holidays.
