The Typ 8R was Audi’s first compact SUV, sharing its MLB platform with the first-generation Porsche Macan.[1] It launched as a diesel and petrol four- and six-cylinder range in 2008 and ran for nine years, including a 2012 facelift that isn’t broken out separately here.

Wikipedia’s per-engine specification table for this generation gives detailed power and torque figures but only one kerb weight for the whole line, in the generation infobox. That single 1,850 kg figure is applied to both trims recorded here rather than treated as engine-specific, and the note on each trim says so; the six-cylinder diesel is almost certainly heavier in reality, but no per-engine figure is published to confirm by how much.
