2017
Audi Q5
The new Q5 is in the
works with the latest BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC in its sights. It's fortunate
then that Theophilus Chin got out his X-ray glasses and rendered how the new
car may look.
The new Q5's design
will be inspired by that of the latest-generation Q7. That means that, compared
to the outgoing model, it'll be adorned with sharper edges, straighter lines
and and overall more aggressive design.
The second-gen Q5 will be underpinned by
the MQB modular architecture of the Volkswagen Group. The car is also tipped to
receive suspension parts from the Porsche Macan and, thanks to its lighter
construction, should weigh as much as 110 kg less than the current
car.
Engines on the cards include a 2.0-liter
turbo diesel, 2.0-liter petrol and the turbocharged 2.5-liter 5-cylinder of the
RS3 Sportback in RS Q5 guise.
