Audi Middle East has announced the arrival of the new Audi Q5 premium five-seater SUV to the region in the second quarter of 2009.
The new smaller brother of the already very popular Audi Q7 has been designed as a multi-talent for sport, leisure-time and family activities.
A spacious interior with a myriad of intelligent functions and innovative technologies for dynamic driving excitement are once again proof of Audi's claim, Vorsprung durch Technik.
At 4.63 meters long, 1.88 metres wide and just 1.65 metres high the Q5 is the sportiest SUV in its class and will stand out on the roads of the Middle East with its coupe-like styling, expressive grille and headlights, as well as the eye-catching LED technology used both in the daytime running lights and taillights.
Alloy wheels of up to 20 inches will give the SUV a robust flair.
Through a revolutionary front-shift of the front axle the Audi Q5 boasts the longest wheelbase in this segment (2.81 metres), which not only makes for a roomy interior that comfortably accommodates five persons and storage space up to 1,560 litres in volume, but also allows for the optimum distribution of axle load, good directional stability, comfort and impressive dynamics.
As only logical for a dynamic SUV, the Q5 will be built with the quattro permanent all-wheel drive as a standard with a 40:60 asymmetric/dynamic torque split and will be available with the Audi drive select, which changes the character of the car at the touch of a button.
The new Audi Q5 offers virtually countless clever features, many of them known from the luxury class only.
Prices and specifications for the Middle East have not been announced yet.
