It takes more than hard work, dedication and
vision to create the truly exceptional. It takes
something intangible. Something you can’t
quite put your hands on. It’s courage, guts,
perseverance, passion and fierceness of focus
all wrapped into one.
And it’s this intangible characteristic that defines
all of us at Audi. It’s the driving force behind
every pencil line we draw, every calculation we
make and every idea we deem not good enough.
It’s why every inch and curve and angle has
purpose. It’s why we test our cars at the highest
of speeds for hours on end so they can be driven
on any surface and in any condition – rain, shine
or white-out blizzard.
It’s why substance always wins the day. It’s
why cutting a corner, even a weld seam in the
trunk, would be sacrilegious. And it’s why for
us scrutiny is so deeply ingrained it’s like the
very act of breathing.
This is Truth in Engineering. And this is Audi.

crossover comparison test*. The Q5 may be a
crossover, but its styling is more reminiscent of
a coupe, without compromising interior space.
At the front of the Q5, the Singleframe® grille is
flanked by the available adaptive, mercury-free
Audi xenon plus headlights with LED daytime
running lights. The combination makes for
an unmistakable approach.
Walk around to the side of the Q5 and you will

Accomplished handling defines the Q5 driving
experience. quattro® delivers more than allwheel traction; it creates confidence. With
the latest generation of quattro, torque is
distributed with a 40:60 split between the
front and rear axles. The result is handling
that feels more balanced and sportscar-like.

trapezoidal-link rear suspension oer a ride
that is sporty and smooth. The large, ventilated
front brake rotors help dissipate heat and
work with the solid rear brake rotors to
