2011 2011 ZUR DEUTSCHEN VERSION

The Audi Q5 The Q5 combines the dynamics of a sports sedan with a highly variable interior. The mid-sized SUV is the ideal companion for active people at any stage of life. Body and interior With a height of 1.65 meters (5.41 ft), the Q5 is very low-slung for an SUV. It features sporty proportions and an elegant, muscular design. There are three versions available for the add-on body parts; Audi also offers attractive styling packages. The tailgate, which wraps around the C-pillars, is made of lightweight aluminum, as is the hood. The body includes a large proportion of high-strength and ultra-high- strength steels. In terior space is generous,and the luggage compartment ’s base capacity of 540 liters (19.07 cubic ft) can be increased to 1,560 liters (55.09 cubic ft) by folding down the rear seat backs. Audi also offers an optional rear bench seat, which can be moved by 100 millimeters (3.94 in) and features a load-through hatch.The front passenger ’s seat is available with an optional folding seat back. The front seats can optionally be adjusted, heated and cooled electrically. Drivetrain Audi offers the Q5 with a choice of six engines: three gasoline engines and three TDI units. All engines are direct injection units; five of them are turbocharged. The torque of the gasoline engines is further boosted by the Audi valvelift system, which switches the valve lift in two stages. Regardless of the engine variant, the Q5 recovers energy during braking; the four-cylinder models with manual transmission also come standard with the start-stop system and a shift indicator. The engines: 2.0 TFSI quattro with 132 kW (180 hp) 2.0 TFSI quattro with 155 kW (211 hp) 3.2 FSI quattro with 199 kW (270 hp) 2.0 TDI quattro with 105 kW (143 hp) 2.0 TDI quattro with 125 kW (170 hp) 3.0 TDI quattro with 176 kW (240 hp) Chassis The chassis also contributes to the sporty character of the Audi Q5. The five-link front suspension and the trapezoidal-link rear suspension consist largely of aluminum components; the large brakes ensure rapid deceleration. The optional Audi drive select manages the engine ’s throttle response,the steering characteristic and the shift points of the S tronic. Two components which can be paired are adaptive damper control and dynamic steering. The Audi Q5 also holds its own in rough terrain: the electronic stabilization program (ESP) and anti-lock brakes both have an offroad mode. The ESP features an additional function for road driving. If a roof rack is mounted, thus raising the center of gravity, the system intervenes somewhat sooner at the limit of handling./TR> Equipment and trim On request, Audi equips the Q5 with high-tech systems typical of the full-size class. Audi lane assist helps to keep in lane; Audi side assist warns of possible hazards when changing lanes. The adaptive cruise control maintains the desired interval between the performance SUV and the vehicle ahead. There is a similarly appealing range of multimedia components available.
