I like it, but I think I'd rather get a B8 S line A4 Avant 3.0TDI... :heart:

[The RS6]

I like it!! Especially the rear! Great IMO!

[AndyBG]

I like it..., and I'm looking forward to this new Audi. It will be a great seller, at least I'm expecting that...!

What engines are going to be offered from the start?

2.0 T is on these pic's..., witch version (200 hp, 230 hp...?)

[The Pretender]

200 hp.

Jarod.

[Leadfoot]

Well I believe you will see the intro of the 7sp S/Tronic and the Quattro3. According to sources you will have in the Q5 something which will be much better in handling than the X6.

I like the rear, however not keen on the front, may be a growwer though.

[pampas]

what are the dimension on this thing? I am trying to compare it to the Q7 and the A4 B8. It's supposed to be a little bigger than the new A4, right?

[The RS6]

Just watched the introduction at Peking via tv.audi.com...

Q5 looks great :)

Ben - if you can afford it ..... btw the B8 A4 is, inside, stil bit small.

Does this look like we can watch in future DVD's at the MMI? :D (I ROBOT)

[The Pretender]

The design sketch is much sportier looking IMHO then the final product.

Niiiccee ;)

[roadrunner]

200 hp.

Jarod.

The 2.0 TFSI will have 211 HP in fact + 350 Nm torque from 1.500 till 4.200. 0-100 in 7.2 sec, top speed of 222.

Not on the move i guess, but the Q5 has a new version of the MMI - called MMI Navigation plus

One of the highlights is a DVD drive for audio AND video. The other is a harddrive (probably for the nav-data. The MMI screen seems to be bigger as well (16:10 format?).

[ZeroCool]

yes i wrote 2 or 3 posts after mine - that i've read that it will have all these things ;)

it's great - i like it....

[MPT]

Guys, Q5 production in Changchun, China - for export ? What do you think?

I VETO :nono:. Don't like where this is going. If this is Audi's future strategi, heads will roll :brag:.


Audi made in China? :asian: .. NO GO! :doh::doh::nono::trash::noshake:

[Leadfoot]

That side profile is so similar to the Cayenne it's unreal.

This is without a doubt the best looking SUV on the road, the side and rear reviews are the most impressive, especially the rear which is a work of art. The front is less successful but still better than any other and the interior is pure Audi, in a word quality of the highest.

Now who here could say the same thing about the X3. :hihi:

Some text...

Audi has added a second model to its Q-car lineup with the unveiling of the all-new Q5 SUV at the Beijing Motor Show this weekend. The new car is designed to rival new entrants like the Mercedes-Benz GLK, which also debuted at the Beijing event, as well the current BMW X3 and Lexus RX range.

The new Q5 measures 4.63m in length (wheelbase is 2.81m), 1.88m across and sits 1.65m tall. It also has a class-leading drag coefficient of 0.33. To save weight engineers used aluminum for much of the vehicle’s construction including the wraparound tailgate and hood.

The Audi Q5 is rolling off the production line in three engine variants – one petrol engine and two TDI diesel units. All of the engines employ direct-injection and turbocharging technology. The range kicks off with a revised version of Volkswagen Group’s familiar 2.0L TFSI, which in the new Q5 boasts a peak output of 211hp (155kW) and 350Nm (258lb-ft) of torque. This is enough to see the car reach 100km/h from rest in 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 222km/h. Fuel consumption comes in at 27.67mpg (8.5L/100km).

The diesel engines come in either 2.0 or 3.0L guises. The four-cylinder 2.0 TDI produces 170hp (125kW) and 350Nm (258lb-ft) of torque and catapults the Q5 from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds and a top speed of 204km/h. Average fuel consumption is 35.11mpg (6.7 L/100km).

The most powerful engine in the line-up is the 3.0 TDI. This V6 diesel engine delivers 240hp (176kW) and 500Nm (368.78lb-ft) of torque and accelerates the Q5 from 0 to 100km/h in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 225km/h. Average fuel consumption is 30.55mpg (7.7 L/100km).

All models feature quattro AWD and Audi’s new 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission with gearshift switches on the steering wheel.

Inside, there’s space for five and the rear seats are angle-adjustable and can be folded away to expand storage space from 540 to 1,560L. Optional extras include a rail mounting kit for luggage, a net partition and a luggage compartment liner. Premium trim includes aluminum, exclusive woods, chrome, leather and Alcantara.

Additional features of the Audi Q5 include keyless access to the vehicle, a tire pressure monitoring system, a large panoramic sunroof, tri-zone climate control, sun blinds for the rear side windows, adaptive cornering lights and an electric tailgate.

[The RS6]

One word - awesome!

[AndyBG]

Only one petrol engine...?

On some other sites they are stating the 3.2 265 hp paired with six speed Tiptronic as ''US only'' option, is that true?

[The Pretender]

Only one petrol engine..., maybe Q5 is waiting for some new V6 forced induction engine.
That's the only way up, there will not be a V8 option in the near future or at all.

Jarod.

Looks like a tiptronic above. Also no steering wheel shifters.

paddles - there will be, have seen them on pics from shanghai (Q5 at display there)

[Damienr8]

Design wise, the rear looks ok, the front looks Booooring, the inside looks like a rehash of whats in the A5 and A4. Come one Audi, you are becoming too predictable....

[Leadfoot]

The front is a tricky one for Audi to come up with something unique. The car has to bear similarities with it's bigger brother the Q7 but still have a more youthful image. I agree that the front is the one part which doesn't do much for the car's looks but I think their hands were tied.

After having a Q7 for some months I can say without question that the Q5's interior is spot-on in design. The overall practicality of the design will be great and the fit/finish looks up to Audi's usual high standard.

The most interesting part of the spec is no manual offering, Audi must feels that DSG is the way forward and are really pushing the technology.

Does this spell the end for both manual and automatic.

[Benman]

Ben - if you can afford it ..... btw the B8 A4 is, inside, stil bit small.


B8 A4 is a lot cheaper here than in Czech. ;) I'd expect a fully kitted S line TDI to run @ $60K USD. Still big money, but a far cry from what you are forced to pay over there!

Ben:addict:

[Audiphile]

Is there any further news if the Q5 will be offered in hybrid form?

[Mockenrue]

Is that true?

Audi from China...?

I don't know what to say, I hope that we want see any difference in quality...

Some Q5 production will take place in China (Changchun), yes, although it will mainly be built at Ingolstadt. The Chinese Q5 will be available only for the local markets, and the German Q5 for the rest of the world (although depending on geographical area the Chinese built Q5 may be imported instead of its German counterpart).

[Leadfoot]

Everything else is made in China, why not Audi. :eye:
