New model for Audi

By Simon B. Tremblay

Audi will offer this new Q5 in February or March of 2009. It's a smaller version of the big Q7.

This SUV will be powered by the 3.2 liter V6 developping 270hp. The transmission is a 6 speed automatic and the Quattro technology will be included in all version. There are rumours that the european engines available on the other side of the Atlantic will make their ways to America in 2010 (including the 4 cylindre 2.0 FSI).

In terms of performance, Audi indicates that the 0-100 km/h can be done in 6.8 sec. The MSRP was not annonced yet but we expect it to be around $45 000.
