Hall Madrid: Live Photos of Audi Q5
Flanked by the revisions to the ever-popular Audi A3 (and you talk to them later), the AudiQ5, real protagonist in the post Audi, shows no shame to the media gathered in the Hall of Madrid as one of its greatest innovations. Will repeat the success of the Audi Q7 in these lean times? Audi seems convinced that it will. Personally and said, the new todocamino of Germans has left me a bit cold. The formula of the Audi Q7 does not seem to translate equally well on the smallest of the Audi A4 platform, and changes in its basic design were more successful in official photos. The pace, however, is precious, and it can be said that the vehicle will win points in any other tone than the dark gray chosen for the Hall (the cobalt blue of the announcement seems to be theirs). Again, this is a purely personal opinion. It is possible that fans such models do not draw as many stick to the outside world, it must be said.
Turning to the carrier, the Audi Q5 presents us with something distinct from a board seen in the Audi Q7, more simple and clear. The materials are 100% Audi, as it could not be otherwise: leather in abundance and quality for the seats (the rear backrest is plastic tone), aluminum details scattered throughout the passenger compartment, and foam for mullida the top of the board. As recent models, the audio equipment is signed by Bang & Olufsen, a renowned Danish firm known for its brilliant (and outrageously expensive) product A / V
The driving position is comfortable, frankly, partly because of the abundant seat adjustments. Behind the thing changed a bit. Not that the second row will be uncomfortable or lack of space, but gives feeling overwhelmed. This is something that attributed to the design of the rear pillars and the collapse of the roof. It is not my thing: other journalists also said the same thing after leaving the vehicle. If we talk about the terminations, almost all are to rise to the occasion, saving some plastic parts installed in the rear of the armrest that were somewhat loose. It may be a thing of the unit exposure, however.
The range of engines for Spain, remember, will be staffed initially by a 2.0 TFSI power of 211 hp and two TDI with 170 hp and 240 hp (2.0 and 3.0 L V6 respectively), always with traction to all four wheels. Moreover, appears to have everything needed to snatch a few sales to the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLK. If the momentum is
authentic saloon as Audi says, I see no reason to not get its deserved place in the market.
Press release all the details below:
Audi Q5
The new Audi Q5 combines the dynamism of a sports saloon with an interior exemplary in terms of modularity and with ample opportunities for leisure and family life. Powerful and efficient engines, traction comprehensive permanent quattro and a commuter train shooting exquisitely made up a point to enjoy unsurpassed driving both at the roadside and beyond. Elements such as innovative change dual clutch of seven marches S tronic and Audi drive select system for better dynamic under way justify Audi's position at the forefront of the art.
Audi Q5 Concept
The Audi Q5 is a vehicle for multiple capabilities suitable for sports or enjoy leisure and family life. This is undoubtedly the most sporty SUV in its class. It is a dynamic car, multifunctional and comfortable. Since its dimensions suggest that this is a new SUV make. The Audi Q5 measured 4.63 meters long and 1.88 meters wide, but only 1.65 meters high, thus assumed the proportions of sports among its most direct competitors. His CX reduced value of 0.33 also lets you set a new record in its class.
Audi Q5 Design
The design of the Audi Q5, characterised by its sporting elegance and its sculptural forms, is a clear example of the character of the Audi brand. The expressive headlamps located on both sides of the great grill Singleframe dominate the image front. These lights can be equipped with optional xenon lights and doubles with daytime running light composed of LEDs. The prospect side is determined by the big wheels and rising contours, the elegant line of the roof, topped with longitudinal bars, accentuates her slender cutting line coupé. In the rear of the vehicle becomes obvious kinship with his older brother, the Audi Q7, the gate of the boot is very wide, extending up the sides, and is manufactured in aluminum, like the engine bonnet. Also groups optical rear are available in the advanced LED technology.
The long battle of 2.81 meters represents a record in this segment, providing a generous space aboard the Audi Q5. The vehicle comfortably accommodates five passengers in their seats ergonomic and flexible concept. The backs of the rear seats can sit back and abatirse with special comfort: simply operate the remote unlocking lever located in the trunk for Abate forward on the seats. Thus, the volume of the trunk grows from 540 to 1,560 litres; addition, under its load floor provides a second storage space. The equipment offers an optional kit for fixing guides through luggage, a network dividing and a protective tray.
Audi Q5 Propellants
The Audi Q5 is available with three different engines, one petrol and two TDI. All thrusters combined with the direct injection turbo by overfeeding. It is characterized by high power, a strong force and towed by a large refining march, while presenting a fuel extraordinarily content.
Audi Q5 Motor gasoline
• The 2.0 TFSI displays a completely new development. This four-cylinder combines high-tech three functions: turbocharging, direct injection gasoline and the innovative Audi valvelift system for controlling the height variable valve.
The high torque of 350 Nm is already available to 1,500 rpm and remains constant until 4,200 rpm, the maximum power reaches 211 hp (155 kW). The Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.2 seconds and its top speed is 222 km / h. Its average consumption is only 8.5 litres of fuel to 100 km.
Audi Q5 Diesel Engines
• Also with four cylinders and two liters engine capacity, the 2.0 TDI integrates a new common rail injection system that gives you a great refinement, like the petrol engine, also features two trees balancing. With its 350 Nm of torque (available between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm), the strength of dragging this Diesel is shocking, like its 170 hp (125 kW) of peak power.
The average consumption of only 6.7 litres per 100 km is a clear demonstration of the successful strategy of Audi efficiency. Equipped with two-liter TDI, Audi Q5 accelerates to 100 km / h in 9.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 204 km / h.
• The more powerful engine of the range is the 3.0 TDI; V6 that puts on the table nothing more and nothing less than 240 hp (175 kW). Its torque of 500 Nm is available between 1,500 and 3,000 rpm. Majestic in the deployment of power and refined sound, allows the Audi Q5 reach the mark of 100 kph in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 225 km / h. The three liters consumed on average 7.7 litres of fuel to 100 km.
Audi Q5 Transmission
The 2.0 TDI moved its strength to a manual six marches. For the 3.0 TDI and 2.0 TFSI Audi implements an innovative technology. This is the S tronic, a new dual-clutch change with seven gears. This component of high technology is capable of running the gear changes within a few hundredths of a second, introducing both a function chaired by the softness and allowing a high degree of effectiveness. The driver can let the S tronic seven marches manage changes in fully automatic mode or doing it manually himself, optionally through two cams change in the steering wheel. As in the new Audi A4, the best saloon segment half at the discretion of the press in the Audi Q5 components of the chain of transmission have also changed its location. The differential in front of the clutch, immediately behind the engine. This solution, which allows moving the front axle forward, provides a long battle and an ideal distribution of mass on the front. The result are the specific virtues of Audi Q5: an impeccable stability running a high comfort and a surprising dynamism.
Audi, a pioneer in the field of traction to all four wheels, equipped with the Audi Q5 traction comprehensive permanent quattro, the only logical solution for a dynamic SUV. In normal running conditions, the fund transfers sends forces to front and rear axle in a ratio of 40:60. The proportion of torque reaching the rear train, slightly larger, is one of the ingredients that contribute to increasing the pleasure of driving the Audi Q5. But, if necessary, traction quattro is able to divert up to 65% of the pair toward the front and up to 85% at the rear.
Audi Q5 Train Shooting
The train shooting also enhances the sporty Audi's Q5. Both the front axle of five arms as the rear axle of trapezoidal arms were manufactured mostly in aluminum. The mechanism address at the bottom sends impulses directly to the wheels turning. The brakes provide large high values of deceleration. Tires of forged 17-inch light alloy with 235/65 tyres in the series belong to the standard equipment, while the optional equipment offered large wheels up to 20 inches in diameter.
The new high-performance SUV Audi does show sporting conduct, spontaneous and secure, while being comfortable. His ESP stability control has been completely upgraded and equipped with innovative features unique among competing models. Through a sensor, the ESP detects whether the Audi Q5 mounted a baca, and therefore if its center of gravity is at a higher altitude. The load on the roof can reach 100 kg. In this case, the ESP intervenes quickly in situations limit. No load on the roof, the driver may enjoy the most dynamic potential of the Audi Q5.
The Audi Q5 is a vehicle that can be used for any purpose and any firm. Able to tow a trailer with a load of up to 2 tons, is presented as a powerful tractor which also operates entirely on ground without asphalt. The assistant to the decline in outstanding series provides greater security to get off very steep, since it regulates the speed selected while the vehicle not exceeding 30 km / h. The stabilisation system ESP and its role ABS incorporates features specific fields for handling offroad. When travelling on tracks, ESP focuses its attention on the maximum traction; ABS automatically detects the type of soil and select the ideal regulatory strategy for sand, gravel or stones.
The figures speak for themselves: the ability lift the Audi Q5 is unusually high, reaching 31 degrees, equivalent to 60%. The angle of attack, thanks to short front overhang, is 25 degrees, and the sloping angle, which depends on the battle, is 17.5 degrees. The distance from the ground is 20 cm, but can increase to 50 cm if it is to pass through water logged areas.
A wide range of advanced technologies makes the driving experience in the Audi Q5 even more fascinating. The regulatory system optional Audi drive select manages the operation of various technical components and is available in several levels of equipment. With the touch of a button, the driver can decide whether the system should operate in a comfortable, especially balanced or sports. If the vehicle managementsystem equips the Audi MMI provides further quarter field characteristic that the driver can configure on an individual basis.
Audi drive select is available in combination with two innovative components: the regulation of electronic damping and dynamic leadership Audi. Equipped with a superimposed transmission, the latter system varies the desmultiplicación for the direction and servoasistencia on an ongoing basis depending on the speed. In other words, requires a lesser effort in parking maneuvers and presents rigid and less sensitive to reach higher speeds. In situations limit, the dynamic leadership stabilizes the Audi Q5 in collaboration with ESP through small interventions ultrarrápidas in the right direction.
Audi Q5 Security
In Audi cars is done by safety equipment last generation. In the front seats, the force limiters belt and airbags act together in a novel and particularly smart. Much of the bodywork of the Audi Q5 consists of pieces of steel and high resistance maximum combined with the utmost precision. These components reduce the vehicle weight while improving safety before impact, stiffness and vibration behaviour.
Emphasize devices as the assistant keeping track Audi lane assist and Audi side assist, which prevents dangerous to change lanes. The adaptive cruise control keeps this high-performance SUV at a distance constant over the preceding vehicle.
Audi Q5 Team
Audi offers its new high-performance SUV with a series of especially generous equipment which includes, inter alia, a stereo with eight speakers. In the field of multimedia are a whole series of cutting-edge components: the level of more sophisticated equipment can integrate a Bluetooth phone, a DVD player, TV tuner, an intelligent voice control, an interface to integrate the iPod customer and a sound system of high-tech specialist Danish Bang & Olufsen. The navigation system integrates a superior high-resolution monitor that offers an innovative presentation of maps in three dimensions. In the hard disk which makes use of the system also can be stored music files in MP3 format.
The optional equipment of the Audi Q5 incorporates a wide range of high-tech systems, directly from the kind of luxury that make the driving experience more relaxed and majestic. Other high-tech components for the Audi Q5 are the advanced key system that allows access to the vehicle without using the key, controlling the tire pressure, the large panoramic glass roof with light baffle further, automatic climate control three zones, cortinillas parasol for the moons rear, the lighting system dynamic adaptive light cornering, the electric gate of the trunk and a towing hitch folding.
The assistant to the main-beam headlamps automatically switch between lights and road crossing lights. The front seats can be fitted optionally adjusting electricity and heating and ventilation; here too is evident from the luxury class higher than Audi offers in the new high-performance SUV.
The Audi Q5 equipped with a series electromechanical parking brake, a key smart chip, an automatic climate control and a display on the instrument panel where it was shown, for example, recommended the ideal way to drive more efficiently. The standard equipment also includes a large central monitor. If the new Audi Q5 equips a navigation system, many of the functions are concentrated in the Audi MMI terminal located in the central tunnel. This management system unparalleled in the market in this case belongs to a new generation: its graphics and its control through the large main control are now more intuitive.
Audi offers three different versions for elements outside the Audi Q5: in black (standard), in contrasting colour or painted the same colour as the bodywork. Also offered as an option for two packages bodywork. The S line exterior package gives the SUV an image of high performance sport resolutely, while the offroad package style with protective low in both the front and rear wheels and 19 inches possible a striking staging.

Promotional Video of the Audi Q5
Do you have been wanting to see the new Audi Q5 moving? Fixed yes. Unfortunately, the first clip of the vehicle that has reached the network is the typical assembly type b-roll for documentaries, so do not expect much. A little road, a little powder and San Seacabó. Neither music nor risky action sequences, although at least serves to view it from different angles to the photos shown by the officers.

More photos of Audi Q5
Surely the seven photos of Saturday were not sufficient to satisfy your appetite, so we have completed the official gallery with a handful of new images with which you can get a better idea of whether the Audi Q5 is the quintessential spirit Audi made todocamino, or Finally, an endless list of clones. Most likely a little of both.

Official: Di hello to Audi Q5
And with him, months of speculation, renders, photo montages and filtered have come to an end: here is the Audi Q5. Unlike what happens with his older brother, the Audi Q7, this new compact todocamino does not share a platform with any model of Volkswagen, using the same structure of the Audi A4 and Audi A5. This means that the Audi Q5 has a longitudinal engine instead of a cross as the smallest VW Tiguan.
Compared with the Audi Q7, the latest Audi is considerably smaller, besides simple. For claim and dimensions, the Audi Q5 falls squarely in the middle segment of the luxury SUV. Their actions are 4.63 meters long, 1.88 m wide and 1.65 m high, with a wheelbase of 2.81 m.
The Audi Q5 retains a strong resemblance with the Audi A4 Avant, but keeps distance with caution. When Audi designers began to outline the features of the model, it was on the same line waist that can be found in all recent creations of the mark. This element of design is described by Audi as "Tornado Line", and varies slightly between car and car. In the Audi A5, is separated a little more body and keeps a sharp bend more on the wheels, while the Audi A4, along with examples, slides from end to end without barely deviating from its trajectory. The line of Audi Q5 is closer to that of the coupe, but also more concealed when crossing the door panels.
An important detail of its design is the prominence of the bars of your grill. From now on, Audi will highlight the vertical bars in all its SUV, giving prominence to the horizontal when we speak of models ever. The Audi Q5 differs from the rest of the range by a second line of character that begins concealed the bonnet and slides beneath the windows until the end of the same, doubling as a bit up in the Saab 9-4x (albeit more subtle). Lowering the hearing, the use of skirts obscured helps reduce the sensation of height, and bumpers in the rear diffuser we see a kind of purely aesthetic. The taillights are pointing to the center of the gate as in the Audi A4, and collaborate in forming a sort of cavity where it is framed the vehicle registration.
For size, the Audi Q5 is comparable to the BMW X3, Mercedes GLK or Infiniti EX. The space in the rear seats seems more than acceptable, and its occupants may find settings for the backrest angle. Turning to the area of the driver, the environment seems much more clear than in the Audi Q7, even grazing the minimalist at the top of the board. Television, DVD player, Bluetooth connectivity and audio equipment Bang & Olufsen compatible with the iPod will be part of the equipment, either as standard or as extras.
As for safety features, Audi has pulled the house through the window. The new ESP is capable of detecting the installation of a baca, and we can also find a warning system for lane-changing, ASD (Audi Side Assist) to monitor obstacles in blind spots, intelligent cruise control ACC, and lighting in adaptive curve.
If we talk about burden, the trunk is more than generous, providing enough space for the luggage of four people during a weekend. The figures, this is 540 liters expandable to 1,560.
For Europe will be offered a total of three different engine, one petrol and two diesel, always associated with a change of speeds and seven double-clutch S tronic. In all cases the Audi Q5 will have traction to all four wheels with Torsen differential, but not a march reductive.
The first one is already known to all 2.0 TFSI with 211 hp and a torque of 350 Nm. With this mechanical acceleration from 0 to 100 is recorded in 7.5 seconds, and the maximum speed at 216 km / h. Their combined cycle consumption is 8.5 litres/100 km.
Just after we can find something more lazy but also more economical 2.0 TDI. This engine already known by everyone pays 170 hp and 350 Nm, making it possible to accelerate to 100 kph in 9.7 seconds. The official speed limit is set at 202 kph, and the average consumption is 6.6 litres/100 km.
Finally we find the 3.0 TDI. The more athletic option for the Audi Q5 delivers 240 hp and 500 Nm. Its acceleration is considerably lower than that of a gasoline model (6.7 seconds to reach 100 kph), also marking the distances to stop stepping on the accelerator (the maximum is 223 kph). Despite its excellent performance, with this propellant consumption can be achieved some quite content, as indicated by official estimate of 7.1 litres/100 km.

Goodbye embargo - The Audi Q5 is filtered to the network (of truth for good)
Did you thought that people would wait until tomorrow? Someone, we do not know who has been past the embargo what about the Audi Q5 in the arch of triumph, and here we have the first (micro) todocamino photos of the new Audi, BMW X3 rival natural and yet unborn Mercedes-Benz GLK .
Nothing more to say except that while there is no more leaks, that's all you'll have until tomorrow. Search magnifying glass that guards the Mineranova still out there and enjoy the pictures.

The Audi Q5 seeps into the network
And again the Internet has been the medium that has uncovered long before the final figure of a model, particularly through the web world of Italian motor Omniauto.it. The embargo, which was scheduled to conclude on April 19, has been completely "jumped to the Toreros' and we can admire the lines of the new Audi Q5.
Brother of small Audi Q7 and the second in a saga that seems that will not end, the new Audi Q5 becomes the alternative to Audi and BMW X3 future Mercedes GLK. Aesthetics does not show anything new and after numerous recreations provided by computer and made some progress, the final design does not surprise us at all with an image too Audi-and therefore repetitive.
The mini Audi Q7 will be available with petrol and diesel mechanics and although it is still early to anticipate the details, we imagine that will accommodate the 2.0 TDI with 140 hp and 170 common-rail and 2.0 TFSI 200-hp. There will be more engines, both V6 as TFSI and TDI, but better if we expect a day of official announcement.
Taking some data from the Audi A4 Avant as a reference, a carrier could be fairly broad advance for four passengers and a normal capacity of the trunk in the segment, although they might surprise engineers Audi with a loading area of the best in class despite that has never been his priority in the development of their vehicles. Only the Q7 boasts a large boot-but clear, measured over five meters.
Its official presentation will take place at the Salon de l'Automobile in Beijing, on April 18 and the next day all information on all new road will be available. It must be remembered that China is the second country in sales for Audi, advancing to the UK and just behind Germany.

Change 7-speed DSG for the Audi Q5 (and Roxster still alive)
To our greatest disappointment we could not see him in Geneva, but perhaps it is because Audi will present the Audi Q5 in the Hall of Beijing, which if you do not know, (you're excused) falls next week.
Initially the new Audi Q5 would serve to shape a small todocamino with the emblem of Porsche, but rumors say that the bureau Audi discarded the idea after considering a model that seemed overly only serve to cannibalizing sales of new todocamino. This, however, could change at any time, given that according to reports Auto Week, with the entry of Porsche in the supervisory board of VW, development of vehicle formerly known as Roxster has been resumed.
Although we have no information on the vehicle from Porsche, we can already tell that the Audi Q5 equip a change of speeds and seven double-clutch S-tronic associated with a longitudinal engine. The great advantage of the new box DL500 is that it can work with forces of up to 550 Nm, and its official speed limit is in the 8,500 RPM. Over time, this change will reach the rest of the Audi catalog; first quattro models, and then to the front traction.

The Audi Q5 will be in Geneva
In his obfuscation to be filled every niche market, Audi presented once and for all its long-rumored (and spy) Audi Q5 at the Geneva Motor Show 2008.
According to AutoExpress, the Audi Q5 will share a platform with the recently released Audi A5, but take their traits of the Cross Coupe Q7 and Shanghai. Of course, the Audi Q5 will receive the great grill mark of the house, along with LED headlamps, four-wheel-drive and a pack of itself what is expected. Inside, the contestant Audi competed in the segment of mid-size SUVs, offer five seats and the rail system originally used in the Audi A6 Allroad to distribute the load.
