2018 Audi Q5

Although the recently released 2018 Audi Q5 mainly holds true to its predecessor’s well-known image, it does offer an all new under-body composition.The Q5 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 L 4-cylinder, and is now paired with a 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission. The engine generates an output of 252 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. 

The new model comes standard with Quattro all-wheel drive, just as the previous model did. However; the new model is also equipped with Audi’s Ultra technology, which optimizes the AWD for performance and efficiency. The Ultra technology helps save fuel by strictly powering the front wheels as often as possible. However, the system can instantaneously send power and grip to tires that need it most, subject to driving environment and circumstance.

Exterior improvements are in the smaller details this year. The Q5s distinctive design was already undeniably handsome, but the latest shield grille design and sharpened LED lights definitely enhance the overall look. The interior gets a bit more legroom and introduces a slew of Audis latest technology innovations. The Audi virtual cockpit is a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster with a vivid screen, integrated with convenient features such as navigation, audio and phone connectivity, Google Earth, and Google Street View. Other key features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and driver assist features that use radar and sensors to recognize various driving conditions and scenarios.

All Q5s include the expected airbags and stability control, plus a system that begins closing windows and the optional moonroof if it detects a collision, and they can also automatically brake to prevent a collision or mitigate its severity at speeds below 52 mph. Big options include adaptive cruise control that can slow the vehicle to a halt and then start it up again in a traffic jam, as well as blind spot monitors, rear automatic braking, and rear cross traffic alert.

The Q5s redesign could better be described as a selective evolution. Audi keenly kept the winning features of 2017s Q5 rendition while amplifying the overall comfort and connectivity. The Q5 has become very well rounded, and stands out as an excellent choice for anyone in the compact SUV market. Visit our site here for updates and additional information on the 2018 Q5.
