Premium car brands know their customers very well, but it's possible they know potential customers even better. You may be on Audi's ‘potentials’ radar and you don't even know it.

Let's say you're doing well; your budget for new wheels expends comfortably into six figures. A family- sized SUV with all the right badge and all the trimmings fits the bill. But you also have a hankering for new technology, and you're world-aware enough to have a strong environmental conscience. The new Q7 e-tron, due here in Australia in around 12 months, may just have your name all over it.

In essence, it's a large, roomy, beautifully designed diesel-engined SUV dripping with quality finishes and features. It also has a rechargeable battery pack stashed under the boot floor that gives it an electric-only range of around 50 kilometres. If your daily commute is less than that, you may be able to avoid the diesel pump on your local servo’s forecourt for weeks at a time.
