All-Wheel Driven – Audi News Roundup: “TDI Dreams & Q6 Reality”

In this episode of All-Wheel Driven, host Joe Kucinski sits down with Rich Ortiz, General Manager at Audi West Chester, to unpack the latest shifts in Audi’s momentum. As enthusiasts still reminisce about the glory days of TDI performance, the brand’s EV future is accelerating — led by the Q6 e-tron, which has just overtaken the Q5 in U.S. sales.

Together, Joe and Rich discuss what this milestone means for Audi buyers heading into the end of 2025, why this quarter might be the best time yet to shop for an Audi, and how Audi enthusiasts could influence the availability of heritage Audi Tradition parts for classic models in North America.

Whether you’re an Audi enthusiast, an EV early adopter, or just curious where the four rings are headed next, this episode delivers insight, perspective, and a pulse check on Audi’s evolving lineup.
