Q5 New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info).

Re: New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info)

I really hope Audi won't put A5 fascia (headlights & air intakes) & rearlights all over the model line.

I really do. But based on Huck's latest impressions of future Audi models A5-ization of Audi model line is unevitable.

It's really cool to see some difference between Audi core models (not incl. TT & R8). But as I said many times - when Audi find some distinctive design elements they spread them all over the model portfolio immediately, and make them common (eg. single frame grille, rearlights A3 SB, A4, A6 Avant etc, air intakes, etc).

Family resemblance - yes, cloning - no!

I'm quite irritated when I recall how BMW were criticized (in automotive press) because of "same sausage, different lengths" designs in the past, but now when Audi & some other car makers are doing the same everything is OK. Funny.

Better to be criticised for "same sausage, different lengths" than to have "fire Da Silva" online petitions (like what happened in other companies).

Re: New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info)

must admit Audis look too similar over the range, the Q7 is probably the best, but the other latest addition, A5, it isn't much improvement over the A4 which is pretty near for a brand new model..

Can that be some other model, like the Q3 or an A4 all road. We have already seen full body Q5 mules which is why I don't see any point in Audi using the B7 body to test Q5 suspension or chassi.

That's one of the Q5 test mules that we had seen in the past.Is that show on the background? That's probably an older photo.

Re: New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info)

Do we have any spy shots of the interior ? Would it follow the same design philosophy as the Q7 and the A5 ? I really like what Audi is doing with their designs. It seems more progressive and imaginative than Mercedes.

Then again, give me a CL interior anytime...

I heard that the interior will be similar to the A5 with different details (air intakes ect.).

Oh snap!! I wonder what the guys over at Audi will have to say about this one. It looks good, though it's missing LEDs. Can't wait to see more.

Re: New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info)

Looks amazing. Karma for you.

Looks similar to that Q7 V12TDI concept

Re: New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info)


Auto Express shows it as well.

Front looks way nicer than the X3... and I'm not an X3-hater like many here (you know who you are )

Re: New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info)

^lol im guilty

Re: New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info)

i think this is the q7 v12 tdi. Compare this spy pic with the Q7 concept the yare virually the same. If this is the Q5 well dam it will be nice but i highly doubt it. It would seem more like this is the oriduction version of the Q7 V12 TDI[image no longer available]

Re: New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info)

that is the q7 v12 tdi. these journalist are really talking out of their arse.

Re: New Audi Q5 Thread Part II (Spy pics & info)

Thats not a Q7 V12TDI. It doesnt have the LEDs, the side mirrors are smaller and different, the flender flares are different, not to mention the whole thing is smaller, just look at it compared to that van, thats not the Q7 V12TDI.

That was a concept and now those elements from that concept have been put into use on the Q5.

well look at the front bumper. there is a white strap covering were the leds should be. Secondly the Q5(as seen on the spy pictures) has headlights like the ones on the a5. And of course the spy car will have some mods since its a production version not the actual concept. Side mirrors need to meet regulation therefore they ar bigger and different, small cahnges like the fenders had to be made, possibly to lower costs. Belive me i also wish it would be the Q5 but there is too much resemblance between the spy pictue and the Q7!

Yeah after looking at it more closely I can see your point.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see to be sure though.
