Audi Q5 News

  • Jennifer Lopez [via SocialiteLife]

    We admit it: we totally laughed when Audi announced its goal of beating BMW and Mercedes-Benz in worldwide sales by 2015. But you know, if we were still the betting type (let's just say we learned our lesson), we'd probably take a very long look at those increasingly shorter odds. In recent weeks we've peeped Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry cruising the streets in Audi A5s (separately, thanks), Orlando Bloom in an Audi Q7, and Ashley Greene in an Audi Q5. And now who do we see slipping into the passenger's seat of a completely different, non-Orlando Bloomian Audi Q7? None other than Jenny...

    Ashley Greene's Audi Q5 Keeps The Twi-Hards (And Us) Guessing

    Okay, Miss Ashley Green, this is an occasion of strangeness: three days after we saw Orlando Bloom out and about in his Audi Q7, here you are standing tankside, filling up an Audi Q5. You are also sipping a Diet Red Bull, which is largely irrelevant, except for the fact that (a) you're getting a...

    LeAnn Rimes Taps The Ass Of A Mercedes With Her Audi Q5

    Okay, can we just say? It must totally suck to be a celebrity. Sure, they get money, fame, hookers, and blow -- and of course, they give us something to write about -- but that is all glitz and glamma worth a total loss of privacy? Take for example this photo of poor LeAnn Rimes. (We use the term...

    Audi jumps on the clunkers bandwagon, offers $1,000 off qualifying models

    With sales skyrocketing in July to almost pre-crash levels for many carmakers - and beyond for a few - it's no surprise that Audi's joining the fray today with its own $1,000 incentive on top of the federally-funded CARS program for its qualifying models. The discount applies to no fewer than 18...

    Audi prices 2010 A4, A5 and Q5

    The 2010 Audi A4, A5 and Q5 are still on their way to dealerships at the moment, but Audi decided to let the prices of the updated models loose early as it anticipates high demand. Though the updates are minor for the most part, the pricing is also only slightly increased for the 2010 model year...

    2009 Audi Q5 first drive review

    Until the Lincoln Navigator plowed into existence in the late 1990s, the idea of a luxury sport-utility vehicle was largely limited to the Range Rover. Hideously expensive off-roaders were a perplexing thought: who’d want to wrinkle all that pricey sheetmetal, and get those lambswool carpets...

  • Audi’s latest ute makes quick work of freeways and country lanes alike, with four people in to

    Hybrid-electric and other green propulsion systems are as much a theme of the current climate as is the restructuring and 'right-sizing' of the industry - even more so, at ground-level. Audi is doing its part to contribute to the swell of green vehicles and announcements by revealing its plans to bring a Q5 hybrid SUV to the U.S., most likely by 2011. Already Lexus' new RX 450h is leading the compact crossover hybrid race and BMW is positioned to make an entry eventually with the X6 ActiveHybrid, so Audi's decision is as much about competition as it is innovation. TheCarConnection is...

    Audi Q5 takes top marks in both IIHS and NHTSA safety tests

    Safety is no joke, especially to families on the go, and the arms race to get top ratings from the key safety evaluators - the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) - is a never-ending battle to include the biggest standard...

    Custom Q5 highlights Audi stand at 2009 Wörthersee Tour

    For a few days in May the town of Reifnitz, Austria is overrun with a plethora of Audi and Volkswagen models as fans of both marques attend the world’s largest Volkswagen Group gathering. Known as the Worthersee Tour, the event has been running for almost 30 years and this year Audi decided...

    Audi reveals pricing for U.S.-spec Q5, starts at $37,200

    Audi details third-gen MMI information and entertainment system for U.S.

    Advanced multimedia systems are becoming increasingly central to daily life with modern cars. Especially at the luxury end of the segment, where BMW's iDrive, Mercedes-Benz's COMAND, Lexus's new haptic system with Enform and Audi's MMI all compete for top honors. The latest iteration of Audi's MMI...

    Audi cracks one million annual vehicle sales for the first time

    Audi has recorded sales of over one million cars in a 12 month period for the first time, and at the same time achieved its 13th record year of sales in a row. Worldwide, the carmaker’s sales increased 4.1% through 2008, with 12 new models and expansion into new markets helping to boost the...

  • Abt Sportsline tunes the Audi Q5

    German tuning shop Abt Sportsline is run by a family that has become synonymous with motorsport in its home country, and so it's no wonder their products reflect that heritage. The Abt Audi Q5 builds on the already strong base vehicle with more power and a handful of styling tweaks to present a much more aggressive appearance. Both the TDI diesel and petrol engines get tuned, with 310hp (228kW) and 451lb-ft (610Nm) of torque for the 3.0L oil burner in 'S Power' trim and 240hp (176kW) for the standard Abt-tuned 3.0L TDI. The 2.0L diesel gets an upgrade from 170hp (125kW) to 190hp (140kW) while...

    Audi considering new supercar and compact SUV for U.S. market

    Audi’s sales performance in the U.S. still pales in comparison to its main rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz but the carmaker is determined to build its presence in the world’s biggest market with the launch of new and exciting models. Audi’s U.S. boss has now confirmed that two new...

    Audi unveils Q5 S-Line

    The new Audi Q5 was revealed less than a month ago but already we have images of the new S-Line package from quattro GmbH for the midsize SUV. The S-Line pack helps to improve the Q5’s handling thanks to the addition of a stiffened suspension kit as well as optional 20in alloy wheels wrapped...

  • Audi Q5 expected to sell 24-40K units per year

    The Cross Cabriolet concept (pictured), Audi’s automotive Frankenstein’s monster, is believed to be essentially a Q5 in show-car dress. The upcoming small crossover is expected to join the A4 and Q7 as a volume leader for the company. Add a roof and more sedate colors, and the Q5 will still be a unique buy in the rapidly growing crossover segment. Audi thinks that will ensure its success. Sales figures should be roughly even with the A4 and Q7, which sell between 24,000 and 40,000 units each year. More cars will follow the Q5 as Audi aims at increasing sales to 200,000 cars...
