ENGINES AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE AUDI Q5

As Audi's bestselling SUV selling well around the world, the Q5 has new 2.0 litre TFSI and TDI engines available with the promise of an impressive V6 TDI unit to come in future. The 2.0 litre petrol engine produces 252 PS while the diesel version will produce 190 PS; economy for the petrol unit will be around 41 mpg while the diesel unit should return 57 mpg - which is impressive considering the size and weight of the vehicle.

EQUIPMENT AND HANDLING

With the launch of the firm's all-new Audi Q5, lovers of impressive SUV's will find a vehicle that has exceptional specification and with the option of air suspension which boosts comfort levels. There's also lots more space on board, particularly for those sat in the rear seats, and the boot has grown in size by 10 litres.

With three trims to choose from, there's plenty of equipment for each including a top end sound system, head up display for seeing the car's vital information on the windscreen and the firm’s virtual cockpit. There's also satnav and matrix LED lights. Other standard equipment includes heated front seats, three zone electronic climate control and Audi's drive select to adjust things like the throttle response.

Handling has also been boosted with a new five link suspension system as well as the option of the adaptive air suspension. It helps that the quattro all-wheel drive has been fitted to the versions with the four-cylinder engine as standard. Other assistance systems include adaptive cruise control along with collision avoidance assist.

Opt for the automatic transmission, and drivers will find an integrated fuel saving freewheel function to help keep fuel bills down and there's an all-new drivetrain including technology that will disengage the rear axle drive when it's not needed.

Essentially, the Audi Q5 is not only more efficient and agile, it is also better connected and more comfortable; it builds on the successful points that made its predecessor such a big sales success and takes it on to even better glories.
