Anyone can make a big entrance. It’s the making it memorable part that really sets you apart. Take a walk around
your Q5 and you’ll quickly realize why this isn’t a vehicle
anyone will easily forget. Its striking wheels are highlighted
by the rising edges of the fenders, while the gracefully sloping roof line, accentuated by aluminum roof rails, evokes
a coupe-like presence. From the front, the Singleframe®
grille takes center stage with an assertive, unmistakably
Audi look, while available brilliant xenon plus headlights
and signature LED daytime running lights let everyone
know this is not your typical crossover.

.04 – Audi Adaptive Xenon Plus Headlights
Swiveling up to 15 degrees, the available Audi adaptive
xenon plus headlights direct light based on steering
wheel input so that you can easily track the road ahead.
When driving straight, the headlights disperse light over
a wide area while also casting light farther down the
road on the passenger’s side to help provide better
long-range visibility.
There’s a reason we think losing
Information Provided by:
weight is the smart move.
Considering the racing DNA in every Audi, it should come as no surprise that we went
to great lengths to reduce weight when designing the Q5. But there is an even greater
benefit to a reduction in weight beyond just improved handling. By using aluminum in
such components as the hood, tailgate, wheels and suspension, we shed a significant
amount of unwanted weight, helping to diminish the load on the engine and thus increasing overall efficiency.1
1 See www.fueleconomy.gov for EPA estimates. Your mileage will vary.
Aluminum makes for a structurally sound vehicle with minimal
gains in weight. And in no place is this more evident than in the
all-aluminum tailgate. It weighs markedly less than a typical steel
tailgate while helping provide exceptional structural integrity.

Speaking to the detail and craftsmanship
Information Provided by:
of the Q5 are premium genuine wood
inlays. They are selected, crafted and
matched to the color of the instrument
panel and leather seating surfaces to
compensate for variations in texture
and reflectivity.
.06 – Wood Inlays
Striking a perfect balance between luxury and style is no easy
task, but the Q5 seems to do it with relative ease. The interior
layout is driver-oriented, with every control, button and gauge
placed with convenience in mind. Look around and you’ll also
notice the high-quality materials and fine craftsmanship that envelop every square inch. From the standard Walnut Wood inlays
to the carefully stitched leather seating surfaces, to the available Brushed Aluminum inlays, it all comes together to create an
interior that exudes character. And when it comes time to find
your favorite song or next destination, count on the available
Audi MMI® Navigation plus to put it all right at your fingertips.

Think of it this way, you may never run out of ways to enjoy your Q5. Twelve-way, power-adjustable
front seats give you almost unlimited options when it comes to personal comfort, while sliding

And just try to exhaust the possible configurations afforded by the 40/20/40 split folding rear
seats. We’ll go out on a limb and say you can’t.

Information Provided by:
the world is yours.
For us, the perfect drive is when we feel a cool breeze as the sunlight fills
the cabin. To Audi, it’s about enjoying every last mile. That’s why, in the
Q5, we’ve created things like the available panoramic sunroof. It creates a
unique, light-filled interior that warms while it calms. We’ve also included
a three-zone automatic climate control system that helps deliver personalized comfort to the driver as well as to both the front and rear passengers.
And when it comes time to pick up that new armoire, you’ll rest easy knowing you have plenty of space to work with.
