2009 Audi Q5

The new Audi Q5 combines the dynamism of a sports sedan with a highly flexible interior and versatile options for leisure-time and family use.

The dimensions alone indicate that the Q5 is an SUV of all-new proportions. Measuring 15.19 feet long and 6.17 feet wide, the Audi Q5 is just 5.41 feet high -- making it sportier than any of its competitors.

With its sporty elegance and artfully sculpted forms, the design of the 2009 Audi Q5 is in tune with the character of Audi as a brand. The front end is dominated by expressive headlights on both sides of the large single-frame grille. Viewed from the side, the large wheels and rising edges are especially prominent features.

The Audi Q5 employs design elements typical of the brand in the interior, but adds its own unique variations -- the driver-oriented cockpit is set higher, for example, in keeping with the upright sitting position. The ergonomics boast the uncompromising craftsmanship one expects from Audi. The clear-cut interior takes on even more charisma with fine materials such as aluminum, exclusive woods, chrome, leather and Alcantara, as well as a large selection of optional design packages.

The Audi Q5 is powered by the fuel efficient 3.2 FSI six-cylinder engine with fast-shifting Tiptronic and quattro permanent all-wheel drive. This engine features 270 horsepower and 243 lb.-ft. of torque.
