At first glance it may look like its older sibling Q7. A closer look will reveal its baby proportions. The Audi Q5 is the baby SUV in the Audi Q-Series and inspite of its compact size, comes heavily loaded with latest technologies packaged subtly yet distinctively enough to hold its own forte. The Q5 is Audi's first foray into compact SUV segment.
The model has the characteristic Audi front-end highlighted by a large grille and venerated four circles that mark the Audi logo. Its sporty stance and curvy glass windows coupled with flat roof rails suggest likeness to a coupe. The Audi Q5's presence is strong and magnetic and its awe inspiring look is a head turner. The elegantly crafted interiors, typical of all Audi cars, are extremely pleasing to the eyes. Top notch quality materials are used to encourage indulgence in luxury. Latest gadgets and gizmos like the automatic climate control system and top quality audio system come standard. The Q5 was first launched in 2008 within Audi's stronghold -the European market. In India, the Audi Q5 is available as a completely built unit (CBU) direct from Audi's Ingolstadt facility in Germany.
