Test Drive Audi Q5 since 2008 SUV

Test Drive Audi Q5: Replenishment

2.0-liter gasoline 4-cylinder TFSI engine with direct injection and turbocharging produces 211 hp. The maximum torque is 350 nm, and it is achieved in the range from 1500 to 4200 rpm.

With the conclusion of the Audi Q5 compact crossover, the automaker from Ingolstadd filled another niche in his model range, which had previously remained unprotected, and therefore was a weak place in confrontation with the Bavarian BMW Concern and his brainchild BMW X3. By the way, Mercedes-Benz also did not remain in debt and answered the Mercedes GLK crossover. It is impossible not to note two more rivals Volvo XC60 and Infiniti EX35.
 
Outward Audi Q5, I want to characterize the words of the heroes from one famous TV shows trendy, stylish, youth!. A merchant silhouette of a roof, a large trapezoid grille and branded optics with a LED ribbon have become a new crossover business card.
 
The Audi Q5 profile looks a much more compact older brother with ku-seven. But in fact, the newcomer is not at all small: the length is 4.63 meters, the width is 1.88 meters. The altitude of Audi Q5 is not the leader (1.65 meters) among the tribesmen, only Infiniti EX35 can boast among the tribesmen. But Q5 turned out to be harmonious and proportional. Feed with elegant LED optics and a dynamic line passing throughout the area of \u200b\u200bthe fifth door is added to the exterior of the rooting crossover and adequately complete the stylish and dynamic image.
 
The Audi Q5 interior is already familiar to us on the four and coupe A5. Ergonomics at height, tissue chairs with mechanical adjustments tightly hold passengers, and even basketball players are enough adjustments. On our test visited the test version of the crossover, so you could not feel the charms of stunning Bang & Olufsen audio systems, the MMI brand system, three-dimensional navigation and with a hard disk, active cruise control and other charming life failed. The better, in the absence of bells, you can fully concentrate on sensations from the behavior of the car. In addition, in the basic version of Ku-Fifth, it is equipped with everything necessary, including an electromechanical parking brake, chip key, two-zone climate control, a large central monitor and an audio system with 8 speakers.
 
A pretty compact appearance does not fit in any way with the largest ridges of a wheel base equal to 2810 mm. With such data on the rear sofa, not closely even a three-legged feet here abundantly. In addition, the back of the rear sofa is adjustable by the tilt, and for extra charge the sofa can be taught to move longitudinally within 10 cm. By volume of the luggage compartment AUDI Q5 is inferior only to the VOLVO crossover. With the rear seat backs of the rear seat, the beneficial space of the trunk is 540 liters, folding the second row, we get almost three times more than 1560 liters. In addition, the fifth door is equipped with an electric drive.
 
2.0-liter gasoline 4-cylinder TFSI engine with direct injection and turbocharging produces 211 hp. The maximum torque is 350 nm, and it is achieved in the range from 1500 to 4200 rpm. Impressive indicator. Acceleration up to 100 km / h takes 7.2 seconds. A new 7-speed S-Tronic transmission is in a pair. With such a luggage AUDI Q5 demonstrates excellent acceleration. In the traffic lights, 6-cylinder rivals are rented one after another, which with annoyance, wedge-shaped LED lights of the ku-fifth.
 
Relief front armchairs tenaciously hold the bats of the passengers in their arms. The adjusting ranges is quite enough. On the back sofa is spacious even threesome. There is the ability to adjust the backrest tilt, and for the surcharge of the rear sofa, you can teach the longitudinal adjustment in the range of 10 cm. When the rear seat backs are raised, the useful space of the trunk is 540 liters, folding the second row, we get almost three times more than 1560 liters. In addition, the fifth door is equipped with an electric drive.
In the movement, the box is frustrated and smoothly clicks the steps like seeds. Overtaking without problems you just need to press the electronic gas pedal, and S-Tronic already knows about your intentions and the rapid crossover immediately rushes along the flank. If everything is fine with a jerk at speed, then with a sharp start, a tangible delay is felt. And only after a few hours, conducted at the wheel of the Audi Q5, with the delay, it is possible to cope with experiments with the accelerator pedal.
 
So far, only one 2.0-liter gasoline unit with unreserved fuel and turbocharging is available for AUDI Q5. 211 hp Under the hood gives odds and more volumetric rivals.
Front and behind the Audi Q5 suspension on double transverse levers, screw springs, and transverse stabilizers. As an option, you can order a DRIVE SELECT package in which the adjustable stiffeners are installed. Clear steering, automatically changing force, depending on the speed of movement, sometimes does not have time for the driver's actions. You have already frown up to 20 km / h, and the steering wheel is still heavy, or, on the contrary, when sharp acceleration are going to go into a turn, waiting for the reverse effort on the ram, and it is not. The rest of the steering wheel is clear, the reaction is sharp, the feedback is excellent. Audi Q5 is difficult to complain to the Audi Q5 gauge.
 
The traditional Audyushny dashboard has excellent informative. Already in the AUDI Q5 base, it is equipped with a 2-zone climate control, an electromechanical handler and an audio system with a CD-sadder. The new transmission of S-Tronic is redistributed and smoothly clicks between 7-steps.
On a flat straight crossover from Ingolstad, it is worth it like this. Neither the swinging on the waves, nor extra charges, no nerves in a rut. True, in the far, Audi Q5 road may seem a bit harsh despite the fact that the pits more ku-fifth swallows with due tranquility, the whole road trifle is clearly transmitted to the fifth points of passengers.
 
When starting from the spot, a small failure is fought, which requires addiction. Apparently the case in the characteristics of the turbocharged engine.
The four-wheel drive with the asymmetric central differential Torsen default divides the engine torque in the 40/60 proportion in favor of the rear axle. As a result, Audi Q5 shows a slightly rear-wheel drive manners. When slipping the wheels, the Torsen instantly moves to 65% of the thrust on the front axle or up to 85% on the back. In a compartment with a non-disconnected stabilization system, the nature of the crossover is not only gambling and sports, but also reliable.

Audi Q5 is a combination of excellent manageability, accurate passage of turns, permanent full drive and high-quality execution. Such advantages may undoubtedly withdraw a new crossover with four rings on the radiator grille into the leaders of the premium compact crossover segment.
 
The cost of the basic version of the AUDI Q5 with a two-zone climate control, an electromechanical handler, an audio system and a tissue lounge begins from 1,630,000 rubles. For comparison, a 302-strong Infiniti EX35 in full minced non-navigation will cost 1,721,000 rubles, and the cost of 285-strong Volvo VC60 starts from 1,696,800 rubles. Bavarian BMW X3 with a gasoline 2.5-liter motor costs 1,785,600, and Mercedes-Benz GLK 280 2 070 000 rubles.
