• Audi Bill Buckle to launch Q5 at open weekend
• Two direct injection engines priced below $60,000 rrp
• Brand new 7-speed Stronic transmission makes its debut
The new Audi Q5 will be officially launched on the Northern Beaches at Audi Bill Buckle this weekend.
The new Audi Q5 will be launched on the Northern Beaches in style with a open weekend test drive event. Held at Audi Bill Buckle invited VIP customers will have a chance to preview the car with a private test drive and then relax in Café quattro® - our gourmet expresso and juice bar.
The Audi Q5 is priced from just $59,900 for both the 2.0 TDI quattro® and 2.0 TFSI quattro® models. A powerful V6 3.2 quattro follows at just $69,900 and the mighty 3.0 TDI at a sharp $71,900.
Audi Bill Buckle Dealer Principal, Bill Buckle, says the Q5 is a welcome addition to the range of Audi vehicles.
“The Q5 is competitively priced in an extremely attractive package. Both diesel and petrol engines combine strong performance with good fuel economy,” Mr Buckle said.
Mr Buckle went on to say, “With this fantastic new product release and a friendly sale team delivering a unsurpassed customer experience, there has never been a better time to visit Audi Bill Buckle.”
Four engine variants are available, all with direct injection turbo-charged engines and quattro permanent all-wheel drive. Thanks to its low fuel consumption of 7.0l/100km, the entry level Audi Q5 2.0TDI quattro® is exempt from luxury car tax, unless the vehicle has optional equipment added and the price exceeds $75,000.
All Audi Q5 models are equipped with Audi’s consumption-saving 7-speed S-tronic gearbox. This new transmission means gear changes take only a few hundredths of a second and deliver virtually uninterrupted power flow.
The Audi Q5 is the first model to feature this innovative dual-clutch transmission mounted to a longitudinal engine layout. Matched with Audi’s quattro® permanent all wheel drive system with 40:60 torque split, the Audi Q5 offers optimum traction and superb handling on a variety of road surfaces.
Ideally suited to the Australian lifestyle, the Audi Q5 will follow in the successful footsteps of its larger sibling, the Audi Q7. With the largest loadcarrying capacity in its class at 540 litres, the Q5, although compact, will swallow large quantities of luggage, sporting equipment and even the family pet.
It’s versatile on and off-road capabilities make it ideal for weekends away, as well as day-to-day driving, and its coupe-like design and elegant interior mean the Q5 will look at home in the city, as well as open country roads.
