At the South African launch of the Q8 SUV, Audi SA confirmed what else is in store for fans of the Ingolstadt-based brand. Here's what's coming to SA.

As we mentioned earlier this year, 2018 was not the best year for Audi and 2019 will mark a wave of new product being launched globally. South Africa will be receiving a fair amount of new Audi models, which was confirmed to the media at the local launch of the Q8 SUV in the last week of April 2019. Interestingly, there was no sign of the electric Audi e-tron, but we're awaiting official comment.

We've already experienced the first of Audi South Africa's 2019 launches. Both the Audi RS4 Avant and RS5 Sportback are terrific offerings in their respective segments.

The Audi Q8 was launched in late April/early May with the turbocharged petrol engine making landfall. A turbodiesel derivative will be offered around the middle of 2019.

For those wanting something small and compact, the all-new Audi A1 is next up on the list and should be arriving in the 3rd quarter of 2019.

The all-new Audi Q3 compact SUV will be arriving in the 3rd quarter of 2019.

There will be a mild facelift to the Audi TT sportscar in the 3rd quarter of 2019.

Finally, Audi's 2019 will draw to a close with the introduction of the A6 executive sedan and the A7 gran coupe. There could be some interesting surprise introductions too, like the facelifted Audi R8 V10.

Internationally, we're likely to see reveals of the all-new Audi RS6 and A3 to name but a few.
