2013 Audi Q5 PRESTIGE Description

Performance

The award-winning 2.0 TFSI turbocharged four cylinder returns for the 2013 model year Audi Q5, alongside the addition of the new supercharged 3.0 TFSI V6 engine that replaces last year’s 3.2 FSI® V6. More powerful and fuel e cient, the 3.0T generates 272 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque and can accelerate from 0-60 in just 6.0 seconds. The 2.0T engine produces 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

Exterior

The Audi Q5 is progressive and sporty, spacious and functional. Its design, with a coupe-like roof line and wrap-around tailgate, visualizes all of these properties. Distinctive traits include the new interior and headlight design. The new LED daytime running lights with optional xenon plus use a new tubular design that frames the headlights to give the Q5 an unmistakable Audi appearance in conjunction with the Singleframe® grille. Audi also o ers the optional adaptive light with dynamic cornering light and static turning light.

The high-gloss black Singleframe grille has beveled upper edges; its vertical chrome struts and the Audi rings have a sculpted look. The horizontal lines of the performance SUV’s front end are emphasized more strongly giving the Q5 a wider stance. The modi ed bumpers integrate air inlets with high-gloss black inserts and fog lights with chrome trim.

The roof rack detection system in the 2013 Audi Q5 is linked directly to the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) control unit. When the crossbars are installed, a signal is sent that adjusts driving dynamic relevant parameters according to the center of gravity. When the crossbars are not installed, the ESC program adjusts dynamics to allow for more enthusiastic driving.

The engine hood and trunk lid consist of aluminum, while a large share of the car’s structural elements integrate ultra-high-strength steel. Both materials are utilized to maximize weight reduction and provide excellent crash safety.

Interior

An uncompromisingly high quality of workmanship is a matter of pride for Audi. The interior of the 2013 Audi Q5 has additional elements for increased re nement and functionality. The center console has high-gloss black inlays. All steering wheel designs, including a at bottom S line® steering wheel, have been updated.

The user controls also have been simpli ed. The central media component, Audi MMI Navigation plus, now has four buttons, and the volume knob has an integrated track skip function. Other improvements have been made to the controls for the three-stage heated seats, optimized air conditioning, the Audi drive select system and the multifunction steering wheel.

The Audi Q5 is a car with outstanding practical talents when it comes to recreational and family activities. It o ers ample interior space with a long wheelbase of 9.20 feet. The seatback angles can be adjusted on the rear seats. The rear seats easily can be folded together with the use of a convenient single release feature that increases the cargo capacity from 29.1 to 57.3 cubic feet.

Driver Assistance

Audi o ers several advanced technology features for Q5 including Audi adaptive cruise control with “stop & go” and “brake guard” capability, which can detect stationary vehicles and apply full braking at less than 19 mph. Driving in the Q5 also is enhanced by Audi side assist, which helps detect vehicles in blind spots – adding con dence when changing lanes – and Audi drive select, which actively adjusts steering, suspension, engine and transmission settings. The driver can select among comfort, auto, and dynamic and customize each setting in an Individual mode.

The Audi Q5 incorporates driver assistance technologies to make the driving experience easier and more enjoyable.
