My Reading Room

The all-new Q5 offers buyers more performance, room and refinement than the older model. Although larger than its predecessor, it is up to 90kg lighter, while its revised turbocharged 2-litre petrol motor now delivers 252bhp and 370Nm, or 27bhp and 20Nm more than before. Audi says that the interior is built to an even higher standard, and can be specified with cool features such as multi-hued ambient lighting to give it an even classier feel.
