The new Audi Q5 made its world debut, where do you think? At the Beijing Motor Show.
I’m sure Audi knows who they are going to fight with, in the compact crossover niche, because BMW already has the X3 live, Mercedes-Benz have just announced the GLK and Volvo seems pretty active, too. Their ace up the sleeve is the sportier (elegant) looks, or at least the Germans think so.
Beautiful headlights with bi-xenon lamps and LED daytime running lights, a large single-frame grille or those big wheels are extremely eye-catching when you take a look at the picture. I wouldn’t expect anything cheaper on the rear: taillights with LED technology or the aluminum wraparound tailgate.
The engine palette is also nice. Three choices that include two diesel versions and a petrol engine, all turbocharged:
I really like what I see. Waiting for prices now !
Really nice car just sorry about the diesel price in this country because it’s not worh buying a big car like this if it’s not in a deisel?

Went to AUDI today to preview the car. My observation is that the Q5 is alone in it’s class. BMW X3 is nowhere next to it. BMW must go back to it’s drawing boards asap and quickly redesign it’s ugly dinosaur. Where are all the haters (Beemers) ?

I’m a big fan of Audi and always have been. The Q5 is a nice new addition to the lineup and I think will be a big hit with a lot of glitzy soccer mom’s or cool dad’s that are now forced to have a hatchback. I’d be happy if my wife drove one!
