The German manufacturer has revealed the second generation of its World dominating Audi Q5 SUV, which has even more classy looks and technologically advanced. The first generation Q5 rocked the world selling about 1.6 million units since its launch in 2008. The second-generation Q5 has made its debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.
Outer And Inner Looks
According to Bangkok Post, the New Audi Q5 SUV has a similar look to that found in the latest Q2 and Q7 SUVs. Audi probably believes that the same family look is one of the reasons its cars sell this well. The new SUV hence has the similar matrix LED lights and accentuated front grille. Although the new Q5 SUV is larger than its precursor, thanks to the use of the new Volkswagen Group's efficient MLB platform it has now become 90kg lighter.
The Auto manufacturer states the new Audi Q5 SUV features a spacious and more versatile cabin. The brand's Virtual Cockpit has also been included in the cabin. The driving environment feels the same way as any other modern-day Audi.
Complete Engine Specs
The Power-Train consists of six and four cylinder diesel and petrol turbocharged units coupled with either a seven-speed dual-clutch or eight-speed torque-converter automatic. If you wish can opt for either the two or the all four wheel drive.
The diesel engine produces about 150-190hp, whereas the 2.0-litre petrol motors develop 252hp. According to Fortune, a 286hp 3.0-litre V6 diesel is also to be launched at a later date. Sources also suggest that a plug-in version of the present four-cylinder petrol version is being worked on giving an all-electric driving range of 50km.
High-performance versions of the Q5 including a diesel-powered S Q5 and petrol-driven RS Q5 are also on the list. The air suspension in the new Audi Q5 not only enhances driving and comfort but also aids in the loading of big stuff into the boot, which has been claimed to be considerably larger than before, states ibtimes.
Launch Date And Price
Right-hand drive versions of the Audi Q5 are reported to be made available by mid of the next year. The car is also to receive Audi's latest technology, with Google Maps-based navigation with additional smart route planning. The expected price of the new Q5 is around £39,000. The India launch of new generation Q5 is expected in the second quarter of 2017.
