2025 Audi A1, Q2 and Q3 get limited edition S line treatment
Audi Australia has launched limited edition versions of the A1 hatchback and Q2 andQ3crossover SUVs, which the automaker says offer as much as $7000 of value for a lower cost.
Named as 'Edition' models – although Audi hasn't disclosed how many of each will be available for customers – the three limited-run models are in Australian showrooms now.
While not touted as end of financial year (EOFY) specials, a release from the automaker said, "With EOFY fast approaching, the timing is perfect for customers to take advantage of the significant added value these upgrades represent for only modest increases in price over the models on which they are based."

The Audi A1 35 TFSI S line Edition is priced at $41,800 before on-road costs – a $2600 premium over the standard S line but, according to Audi, boasting $7000 worth of additional equipment.
The additional gear includes a black-themed exterior with black 17-inch 'polygon' alloy wheels, black grille surround and front badging – while there's an S line exterior front and rear bumpers, side sills and a more aggressive roof-mounted rear spoiler.
It features adaptive LED headlights and LED tail lights, while the rear hatch badges have been removed.
All examples get a Mythos Black roof and mirror caps, but there are no changes inside, where 'Derby' fabric upholstery is standard.
Leather upholstery is an additional $1500 option, while a $1000 Comfort package adds heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and colour-adjustable ambient lighting.

The Audi Q2 35 TFSI S line Edition is priced at $50,990 before on-road costs, which Audi says includes $7000 of value for an additional $1500.
The Edition also sees an S line exterior offered on a Q2 SUV for the first time and brings 19-inch 'Y-spoke' alloy wheels with a gloss black finish, along with S line front and rear bumpers, side skirts and rear spoiler.
Among the five colour choices, Daytona Grey has been made available – another first for the Q2 in Australia.
The grille surround, Audi rings, mirror caps and window trim are finished in black, as is the Q2's C-pillar 'blade', while there's an S line badge now on the front guards.
A $2150 Comfort package available on the S line edition brings heated front seats, heated and power-folding exterior mirrors, rear privacy glass, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, semi-autonomous parking assist, and a 180W Audi Sound System.

The Q3 35 TFSI S line Edition is $58,500 before on-road costs, with a Q3 Sportback 35 TFSI S line Edition $62,000 before on-road costs.
Both prices are $1000 more than the standard versions but add a claimed $5000 worth of value for the SUV and $3500 for the Sportback.
The S line package is already standard on the Sportback, but the Edition sees it fitted to a Q3 SUV for the first time – adding unique bumpers, side sills and a rear spoiler.
The SUV rides on 19-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels – the Sportback gets 20-inch 'V-Design' alloys – with both getting black treatment for the grille surrounds, front Audi badge, mirror caps and window surrounds. The rear badging has been deleted.
Inside, there are S line door sills with aluminium inlays and illuminated S line logos.
All prices exclude on-road costs.

Lotus denies plans to close UK factory
British sports car maker Lotus has denied reports it is considering closing its only UK plant, and shifting to the US. Multiple publications, including the BBC, Automotive News and the Financial Times, are reporting Lotus is contemplating closing its plant in Hethel, about 20 minutes south of Norwich. Lotus and parent Geely initially refused to comment on the reports, but on Saturday Lotus put out an official press statement: 'Lotus Cars is continuing normal operations, and there are no plans to close the factory. We are actively exploring strategic options to enhance efficiency and ensure global competitiveness in the evolving market. 'We have invested significantly in R&D and operations in the UK, over the past six years. Lotus remains committed to the UK, and its customers, employees, dealers, suppliers, as well as its proud British heritage.' The company also said 'the UK is the heart of the Lotus brand', while also noting the UK is its 'largest commercial market in Europe'. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Hethel, the company's only factory in the UK, currently produces the Emira coupe (below) for sale around the world. If Hethel is mothballed, Emira production may be moved to the Volvo's plant in Charleston, South Carolina, which currently underutilised. In a call with investors last week, Feng Qingfeng, CEO of Lotus Technology, said 'localisation [of production in US] is a feasible plan' given President Trump's constantly changing tariff policy on foreign-made cars. Production at Hethel has been paused to since mid-May to manage supply chain issues related to US tariffs, and a halt in shipment of Emiras to the US. The Financial Times believes closure of Hethel could happen as early as 2026, and would see around 1300 people lose their jobs. The company's growing losses saw it already fire 270 people in April this year, following on from multiple rounds of job cuts over the last few years. Despite those job losses, Geely and Lotus said they were committed to the UK. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Moving production from the UK to Volvo's plant in the US would allow Lotus to avoid the wildly fluctuating tariff situation in the US, one of the brand's key markets. Earlier this year President Trump announced tariffs on UK-built cars would rise from 2.5 per cent to 25 per cent, but this was quickly dropped to 10 per cent, but only for the first 100,000 vehicles per year, after the two nations completed a trade deal. Founded in 1952 by Colin Chapman, the company's ethos of simplifying and adding lightness has seen it produce many celebrated sports cars, but the firm has teetered on a financial knife-edge for decades. After Chapman's death, Lotus has been successively owned by GM, Romano Artioli (who at the time also owned Bugatti), and Malaysian automaker Proton. Current ownership of the storied sports car brand is a little complicated. Chinese automaker Geely — which also owns Volvo, Polestar, Lynk & Co, Zeekr, LEVC and Smart — bought a 51 per cent of Lotus from Proton in 2017. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Geely then split the brand in two, with UK-based Lotus Cars responsible for the marque's sports cars, and a new firm Lotus Technology, based in Wuhan, China, in charge of expanding the brand into electric SUVs and sedans. In February 2024 Lotus Technology was floated by merging with a special purpose acquisition company backed by LVMH, the luxury conglomerate that owns Louis Vuitton, Moët & Chandon, Dior, Bulgari, TAG Heuer, and many others. This April, the companies announced Lotus Technology would buy out Geely's 51 per cent stake in Lotus. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert Although the brand's new EVs helped grow the brand's sales to 12,134 last year — a 74 per cent increase over 2023 — Lotus Technology has bled hundreds of millions of dollars in red ink, and its shares are down 84 per cent. Last year the 6862 Chinese-made Eletre SUVs and Emeya sedans (above) found new homes, while sales of the Emira were up 102 per cent to 5272. If Lotus does end manufacturing in Britain, it will follow other car makers in closing factories in the UK. In March this year Vauxhall closed its Luton factory, which once made Bedford vehicles, and most recently made the Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro, Citroen Dispatch, and its many siblings. Prior to this Honda closed its Swindon plant in 2021, and Ford closed its engine factory in Bridgend, Wales in 2020. MORE: Everything Lotus

CarExpert Choice winner: Best Affordable Sports Car
The Ford Mustang has been named Australia's best affordable sports car in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards. Ford's seventh-generation pony car beat out two very different finalists: the Mazda MX-5 roadster and Toyota GR86 coupe. Available in both coupe and convertible forms, it's larger, heavier and more expensive than those sports cars, but the recently redesigned Mustang is an utterly enthralling vehicle. A big part of its appeal is the GT's naturally aspirated V8 – available with a manual, no less! That's a combination that's becoming increasingly rare on our market. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. But the Mustang is more than just its engine. For starters, you can get it without the V8, with the base EcoBoost featuring an engaging and oft-overlooked turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. The American muscle car is the best-handling Mustang yet, while also proving comfortable for the daily commute – particularly with the optional MagneRide adaptive suspension. Mustang purists may scoff at the redesigned interior, but it's more modern and logically laid out than before. You can also still get the wind in your hair in the GT Convertible, allowing you to better take in that sonorous V8. A sports car should make you feel good when you drive it, and the Mustang makes us feel pretty damn good. To see all the CarExpert Choice winners, click here.

Former Jaguar design chief launches A$160,000 Mini restomod
Ian Callum, the design chief of Jaguar until 2019, has teamed up with coachbuilders Wood & Pickett for a Mini restomod. Based on the Mk5 Mini Sportspack built from 1997 until the original car's demise in 2001, the restomod includes wide Wood & Pickett wheel arches, and new side sills. The front and rear valences under the bumpers have been redesigned for improved cooling. Both the head- and tail-lights have been upgraded to LED units, with new graphics at both ends. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Under the bonnet lives a thoroughly reworked four-cylinder engine that's grown from 1.275L to 1.31L. The increase in volume, as well as new performance cylinder heads, a unique exhaust system with two upswept tips, and revised twin-point fuel injection system boosts output to 82kW. The car rides on a new suspension kit and Ian Callum-designed 13-inch alloy wheels. Up front there's an upgraded braking package featuring 213mm grooved and ventilated discs, while the rear remains a drum-only setup. Inside there's a new dashboard that's inspired by Wood & Pickett's "Margrave" interior, and includes metal bezels for the dials and vents, piano key switches, an entertainment system that supports Apple CarPlay, and a pair of cupholders ahead of the gearshift. Other changes include new front seats, and a rebuilt and retrimmed rear bench. Extra soundproofing has been installed, as has new high quality carpet, and electric windows. The Wood and Pickett Mini by Callum has a starting price of £75,000 (A$157,500), with each car hand built and personalised to the buyer's specifications. There will be a limited production run, although no number has been specified. The brown car seen here is the first production car, and belongs to British model David Gandy. Wood & Pickett is a coachbuilder and car modification company that dates back to 1947, and made a name for itself in the 1960s for its work on the original Mini. Ian Callum was head of design for Jaguar from 1999 to 2019 when he quit to start his own automotive design consultancy.

Other changes include new front seats, and a rebuilt and retrimmed rear bench. Extra soundproofing has been installed, as has new high quality carpet, and electric windows. The Wood and Pickett Mini by Callum has a starting price of £75,000 (A$157,500), with each car hand built and personalised to the buyer's specifications. There will be a limited production run, although no number has been specified. The brown car seen here is the first production car, and belongs to British model David Gandy. Wood & Pickett is a coachbuilder and car modification company that dates back to 1947, and made a name for itself in the 1960s for its work on the original Mini. Ian Callum was head of design for Jaguar from 1999 to 2019 when he quit to start his own automotive design consultancy. MORE: Everything Mini Content originally sourced from:
