2009 Audi Q5 Storms the Compact Luxury Sport Utility Class
Sleek-sexy sheet metal, tech-touchy cabin and tricked out running gear for the Q5.
The latest entrant in a hot segment, the 2009 Audi Q5 raises the bar for the competition. Its high fashion looks and high-performance specs should shake up the class.

It’s so close that they have a common wheelbase, chassis, all-wheel drive system and 265-hp V6 engine. The first reviewers to drive the Q5 say it has the heart of an A4 with higher ground clearance and a raised roof. We expect to see our first Q5 in March.
