Audi Shows Off its Latest Q5 at its Friday Night Premier Party in Hong Kong

Pure luxury and performance, that’s what the newest Audi Q5 is all about.

If you didn’t know already, Audi introduced its newest Audi Q5 vehicles at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center last Friday night. There, keynote speaker Andy Hui told us all about what this new series is all about.

Two models were introduced, including the flagship 3.2 V6 FSI Quattro, and the cheaper 2.0 4-Cylinder TFSI Quattro. Let’s see what the flagship model really can do.

The 3.2 Q5 crossover SUV will offer a 271hp, 3.2 V6 engine with a displacement of 3,197cc. It offers a 40:60 split all-wheel drive along with a 7-speed S tronic dual clutch transmission. The driveline can offer up to 65% power to the front axle and 85% power to the rear axle. It will also be the first Audi product to offer Generation 3 MMI and navigation with real-time traffic information! If you want this powerful Q5, it will set you back about HK$569,000 for the standard specifications along with tax and warranty.

If you find HK$570,000 a little too much, you might want to consider the weaker 2.0 TSFI model. This model, at HK$484,000, will be cheaper, though only by a tad bit. Instead of the V6 engine, you’ll get a 211hp, 4-cylinder engine with 1,984cc of maximum displacement. If you don’t care about showing off the engine, then this model might just be a better buy for you, saving you about 85 thousand dollars.

The Audi Q5 compact crossover SUV will be very similar to the full-sized Audi Q7. It will enter the market competing with similar vehicles from other manufacturers, such as the BMW X3, Mercedes GLX, and the Infinity EX.
