New Audi Q5 and SQ5 models are officially available in the UAE and surrounding region.
Transitioning into its second generation, the model receives a ‘Singleframe’ front grille with either standard LED’s or high-resolution Matrix LED’s highlighting each side. Larger wheel arches and various other changes give the model extra character to the outgoing model.
Available in 12 eye-catching exterior shades, customers can choose between three unique equipment levels; Base, Sport and Design. Audi also offers three packages; Design Selection, S Line exterior and S Line Sport.
It’s not cosmetic changes the new Q5 range benefits from. Mesuring in at 4,663mm in length, 1,893mm wide and 1,659mm in height, the second generation models are larger than its predecessor.
While that looks fantastic on paper, customers benefit from 610 litres of cargo space with the second row intact. Fold down the three seats, and space increases to 1,550 litres.
Weighing in 90 kilos lighter, Audi has fitted a wide range of driver assist features. Cross traffic rear assist, park assist, hill descent assist, collision avoidance assist, hill descent assist and exit warning system and many more premium safety options.
New Audi Q5, new power
Q5 models draw power from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol unit rated at 252 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque. SQ5 models benefit from a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine churning out 354 hp and 500 Nm of torque.
Audi’s token Quattro system is standard on both vehicles and is equipped with ultra technology as standard. When not required, the intelligent system cuts off power to the rear axle and reengages when required.
Across UAE dealerships, prices for the new Audi Q5 start at AED 183,900 and AAED 249,000 for the SQ5.
