Audi unveiled the revamped Q5 model at a ceremony at Bahrain City Centre.
The launch by Behbehani, the marque’s dealer in Bahrain, was attended by brand officials, members of the media and a plethora of excited shoppers all keen to catch a glimpse of the sporty new compact SUV.
Its single-frame grille, bumpers, air inlets and front fog lights have all received a makeover. Fuel economy has also been improved by up to 15 per cent, despite power increases.
For Bahrain a 2.0 TFSI and a 3.0 TFSI engines are available. Both are combined with an 8-speed tiptronic gearbox and quattro permanent four-wheel drive as a standard and both combine direct fuel injection with turbocharging and a start-stop system as standard.
This ensures a smooth and steady supply of power that ensures the performance of this vehicle matches its sporty character, its makers say.
The 2.0 TFSI produces 225 hp, yet it has a combined fuel consumption of just 7.9 liters per 100 km with the tiptronic transmission.
Offering even more performance is the new 3.0 TFSI – this supercharged V6 increases power output to 272 hp with 400 Nm of torque. It completes the sprint to highway speed in 5.9 seconds, a whole second less than its 3.2 FSI predecessor engine.
The generous list of standard features on the Q5 includes electric tailgate, xenon plus headlights with automatic range adjustment, driver information system with colour display, Audi music interface, ISOFIX child seat mounting, electronically adjustable front seats and adjustable rear backrest and parking aid plus.
The revised model is available in Bahrain starting from BD18,100 and from BD21,990 for the 2.0 TFSI and 3.0 TFSI respectively (GCC) including five years service and three years roadside assistance.
