2009 Audi Q5 spy shots

25 Feb, 2008 5 Comments

Audi’s answer to the BMW X3 and the recently spied Mercedes GLK is the new Q5 mid-size SUV.

Similarly, the Q5 which appears in these spy shots is undergoing cooling and brake tests in the snowy conditions of northern Finland.

Based on the same new platform as the A5 and upcoming A4 range, Audi has invested 300 million Euros into the development of the Q5.

Production on the Q5 is set to begin in 2008, with the versatile platform able to offer Audi’s full range of engines including the brands various FSI-equipped variant and highly-efficient diesel models.

A high-output 4.2-litre V8 variant is also expected to find its way under the hood for the S-line model.

Including an updated version of the Quattro all-wheel-drive system coupled with a six-speed manual or the new seven-speed DSG gearbox, expect the Q5 to feature off-road equipment such as hill-descent control and an adjustable air suspension.

If the Q5 is supposed to be built on the same platform as the A4 and if it drives like the A4, then this crossover X3 killer will be an awesome car. X3 is a very awkward looking SUV compared to its older sister the X5. Therefore, Audi must take advantage of this time to release the Q5 as quickly as it can. Otherwise, it will lose ground to BMW who has both a lower and a higher end versions of its SUVs.

It’s too bad it’s not coming out until early next year because I want to buy this car right now.
