Better looks, more features and improved all-wheel drive technology Audi has just launched its second generation Q5 medium sized SUV along with the hot version SQ5. Four of the top 6 best selling Audis in Australia are SUVs. So clearly this is an important car for them. New looks, and they say more features and new technology to make the all-wheel drive work better. Sounds good so we drove the news models from Melbourne to Adelaide typically on secondary roads to see if they lived up to expectations. The range comes with three engines. 2 litre diesel. 140kW and 400 Nm. Strong off the line with low down torque. On the open road it is adequate without running like a stallion. 2 litre turbo petrol engine with more power 185 kW and nearly as much torque 370Nm. It runs more freely giving more confidence when overtaking for example. Both two litre engines come with 7 speed tiptronic dual clutch transmission. The diesel is rated at 5.3 l/100km The Petrol gets 7.3 l/100km in the laboratory tests. Hot SQ 5, unlike the previous model does not have a high-performance diesel engine. This one is a turbocharged petrol with 260 kW and 500 Nm. It still goes very well helped by an eight speed tiptronic automatic gear box with sports mode. It ran with wind in its hair. Audi gave a bit of a wink when asked if the hot diesel might come in the near future. Which is either good news or I can't read nonverbal signals. The high horse power is great if you can show it which is not often. Fuel consumption is rated at 8.7 l/100km combined cycle. All models are very sure footed on the open road at touring speeds. Vehicle noise is really quite minimal and there is a general ambiance of well-constructed luxury. In recent years engines have been getting more powerful but vehicles have also been putting on weight with extra features and more electronics. But with lighter metals and better packaging the Q5s are lighter with the diesel engine model losing 90kgs. It all helps with driving performance and fuel economy. They have a new development in the all-wheel drive system which means that you only get all wheel drive when you need it so most of your driving is in the more economical two-wheel drive. We will do a separate video on this impressive bit of technology. On the outside it looks better, more purposeful and masculine. The old model looked functional but by modern standards a bit bland. The new vehicle is 34mm longer, the same width, 6mm taller and a 12 mm longer wheel base. Inside has usable space except for the rear passengers when you have a big person in the front. That is a common feature with this style of vehicle. Some good driver safety assistance with adaptivecruisecontrol, distancewarning, hilldescent, parkassist,cross trafficassist at the rear and exitwarning so when you go to get out you don't door another car or worse a cyclist. The interior has functional simplicity but not adventurous styling. There is a good eight point three -inch Multi-Media Interface screen and Audi's fantastic digital dash board. The information is crystal clear and easy to read. The side storage areas in the doors are easy to get to but not well designed for holding bottles and the cup holders, back near the arm rest, are cumbersome to use. Theseatshavebeenredesignedfromthegroundup and felt good even on a long drive. There's 550litres luggage capacity that's up a smidgin, 10litres, for the previous model. Flatten the second row of seats and you get 1550 litres of space. Apartitionnetandluggagecompartmentcoverarestandard, with fourlashingpoints. Moving up the models or picking some options can add features to your vehicle. It is good that most of the safety features are included in all models. There is an adaptive air suspension with up to 220mm of ground clearance. The ride felt softer on the road.

AM Radio was king in the car for nearly 50 years. But since the 70s, its evolution has been fast and furious. First FM was all the rage followed by music on 8 Track and Cassette tapes. It wasn’t long before CDs started flooding the front seat and now, well you know, anything goes. Today’s Multi Media Interface can offer the driver everything from Satellite Radio Services to Navigation to even the Internet without breaking a sweat, but that’s just the tip of the chip. On Autoline This Week, John McElroy talks with three experts in audio electronics to hear first hand about the latest and greatest that they’re offering the consumer. Joining John are Marios Zenios, the head of Chrysler’s Uconnect Systems, Mike Hichme, GM’s Infotainment Design Manager and Allen Kudla from Panasonic Automotive.
