External design

The new SUV coupe of the four rings is based on Piattaforma Modulare PPC – Premium platform burning and grows in size compared to the previous version with 4.71 m long, 1.90 m wide, 164 highimmediately generous step of 2.82 m. Songs that, even if only from a first sight, inocalibrated proportions and an impressive and muscular, but at the same time streamlined aspect.

The design is clearly from the new generation of the “traditional” Audi Q5, with a front characterized bylarge single frames, now placed higher than the previous generation, and with one Three -dimensional honeycomb structure In addition to giving a greater depth, it emphasizes a sporty character. To complete the front part, there are the optical groups that now have a form More slim and sharp, that also integrate different light signatures Fully adjustable.

Lateral one cannot fail to pay attention to the 21 “Sports circles With a very fascinating design and the spider line that runs back, so that the typical appearance of SUV Coupé. The rear part of the car is characterized by a clear signature that radically changes compared to the generation preceded, with the integration of new thin and sharp LED headlights that extend horizontal for the entire width of the car, Emphasize a presence on a muscular road.

At the bottom, the new contrast diffuser stands out and, I would finally dare to say that Audi accepted the requests of fans, reintro-domicando Two real side outings.

Interior

The external “WOW” effect may have been emphasized, with details, with details that the external “WOW” effect enters. Mark the real generation jumpOne especially: technology. In fact the concept of Digital phase, With fully digital instrumentation that revolves around a triple screen system, mainly concentrated on the Rijsite. Behind the wheel and under the eyes of the driver, the 11.9 -inch Virtual cockpit, With simple, elegant and adjustable images. On request, such as in the trial version, you can add a comfortable Head-Up DisplayTo have everything in an eye without looking away from the street.

Beating the heart of this passenger compartment is certainly the central display of 14.5 inch, whose effect is very fluent and reactive thanks to a new operating system Android Automotive OS, Although sometimes not extremely intuitive because of the parable between the icons in the main menu. Of course there is no lack of wireless connectivity advertisement Android Auto Ed Apple CarPlay, Also with a very liquid and especially very well integrated visual effect.

Audi has thought of everyone: in fact available for the front passenger there is one third 10.9 -inch screen From which you can manage navigation, music or pure entertainment with films and videos. The integration of this third display, however Does not provide security: When reproducing multimedia content, the display activates a privacy function, making it dark when seeing the driver. Although visual, at least in my opinion, they are beautiful, the shiny black inserts always have the problem of being Very easily dirty, Draw dust, scratches or fingers. On the contrary, the satin inserts that cross the dashboard are perfect. The session is comfortable, raised and sporty enough. Long journeys are no problem and even if you want to “roar” the 2.0 TDI, you keep A good positioning to drive.

Even in the back seat, space is no problem and everything is designed to a larger level of comfort possible For all passengers: air conditioning and two USB-C charges also arrive in the second row; Next to the heated seats. The space for the legs is good, as well as that for the head, even if, because of a roof, it is somewhat sacrificed compared to traditional Q5. Despite the sports cut, Audi Q5 Sportback offers a good loading capacity for an SUV coupé: they are 515 liters Available in the trunk, extending to 1,446 If the second row of places breaks.

Road test and consumption

Once at the helm of the new Audi Q5 Sportback in the S -Line setting, you feel wrapped in everything that the house of the four rings can offer Policies of comfort, technology and, if we also want sportiness. Object of our test is the 2.0 TDI engine with MHEV+ electrification They can count on a battery of 1.7 kWh That therefore differs from the “traditional” mild hybrid systems, so that you can perform Small movements in fully electric mode In urban contexts or perhaps during the parking phase. The electric unit contributes to the 204 hp and 400 Nm Maximum torque of the diesel engine, 24 hp and 230 Nm That on such a Run -in engine do not hurt at all.

The new Q5 Sportback stands out for one Level row -DynamicsA quality observed behind a very high steering wheel and consumption that is worth a diesel SUV. One of the elements that I appreciated the most is certainly the steering, which one Really rare feedback in this category And a very short control turn that makes it extremely direct. The response to the Gear Pedal is always ready and fast, thanks to the electric unit that offers support in all circumstances, so that the delay effect is considerably reduced once a strong pressure on the pedal has exerted. The braking system has all references to curb the impressive mass of the vehicle: the answer to the pedal can be Sometimes a bit rigid But it still remains modular and personally he always has the feeling and the security I expected.

The copy we have tried, rich in options, can count on a remarkable suspension system: Forever and rear multilink schedule and pneumatic suspensions. This system contributes to the great versatility of which this car enjoys the fact that you can increase the car of the car, starting with comfort mode 45 mm to go to offroad, and you can lower it 15 mm To become dynamic. In the aforementioned mode, the Inglostadt SUV Coupe changes face and yes Verstijnt significantlyRestoring sensations that are difficult to find in this segment: very rigid and reactive control, a reduced structure and the response of the 2.0 TDI always ready. The other driving methods are characterized by one instead Strong predisposition for “sail”, Always pleasant and also comfortable if you want to save something from the gas station.

The reaction to the roughness of the road thanks to a suspended system of this level is good, even if it is possible to receive in some contexts Some shades too much in the passenger compartment, Probably because of the presence of large 21 “sports circles. The sound insulation is good and the assemblies are solid, but for more supported journeys, because the motorcycle is felt on the highway and a good company is not always.

Regarding consumption, the new Q5 Sportback with the legendary 2.0 TDI Electrified Records data Good, but not excellent. During my 2 -week test, in which I traveled about 750 km, I confirmed the general consumption on average 7.3 l/100 km. In urban journeys, the indicator rises slightly and reached 7.8 L/100 km, In the outskirts it is its best by recording I 5.0 l/100 kmWhile the consumption between the highway oscillates 6.3 and 6.5 l/100 km. As expected good data, which certainly lends themselves to long journeys that this SUV coupe is capable of, but not the best that this engine can offer.

Technology and security

Relation absolutely positive With all security equipment available for the driver on this new generation of the Audi Q5 Sportback. Lane Assist works very well and always guarantees one Amazing In the track, as well as the active recognition system of the speed limits and traffic signs. Great work done by Slight assistant which, perfectly collaborate with the advanced LED matrixoptic groups, always guaranteesExcellent visibility in all contexts, Place a right clear angle for not disturbing other road users.

Small drop in an ocean found a defect of adaptive cruise control that, although very well works in all circumstances, even the busiest, surprised me with Brake a bit too sudden Travel in the highway.

Prezzo

Speaking of prices, the new Audi Q5 Sportback is also placed in the Premium segment in this respect. The price list starts from € 72,950 For the TDI 204 CV version Business advancedwhile for the sportier TDI 204 HP S Line Edition The starting figure is from € 75,750.

The monster that we have tried, enriched by a long list of options and top equipment of the range, rather out the € 87,000. A very important figure, this is true, but consistent with what Audi proposes and the premium positioning that he wants to consolidate.
