O to the design of the new Q5 not much to add, the photos say practically everything. It retained much of the charm of its predecessor, but gained more dynamism and more refined lines. The nose of the car strongly resembles a larger one Audi Q7, and the rear is only slightly optically transformed and retains the rather typical appearance of its predecessor, with a somewhat awkwardly shaped luggage line. From the side to the profile, the Audi looks quite aggressive and slightly sportier than its predecessor. But still extremely business elegant.

This is also why the new Q5 "sits" in a corner and remains exemplary neutral without any surprises. Driving is easy, maybe even a little too sporty, but otherwise to better driving characteristics in addition to lower weight and driving programs that define the character of the new Audi Q5 (the novelty is the mode of off-road driving with a greater distance of the vehicle from the ground and the program all road for on-the-fly adjustment) and interfere with all key vehicle settings, he also adds quattro four-wheel drive (the exception will be the 110-kilowatt diesel, which will only drive the front two wheels), which adjusts the torque to each wheel on the fly. The engine range will include three diesel derivatives - two-liter TDI V4 engine with 110, 120 and 140 kW - and two petrol - a two-liter supercharged V4 engine, the TFSI series with 185 kW, and a three-liter V6 engine. Only the latter will transmit power to the wheels via an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission, while all others will have to settle for a 6-speed manual or 7-speed S Tronic automatic transmission.
