2013 Audi Q5
Leading the way in design, technology and fuel efficiency, the 2013 Audi Q5 is a versatile and powerful vehicle. Strong and efficient engines, like the returning 2.0T, the new 3.0T, and the brand's first ever production hybrid, are coupled with the quattro permanent all-wheel drive to create superior technology for driving in any weather. The 2013 Audi Q5 is a dynamic sports sedan with greater functionality and versatile interior space. 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 efficient, 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. The new Q5 hybrid quattro, the first hybrid model from Audi, is designed as a highly efficient parallel hybrid that uses a 266 volt, 72-cell lithium ion battery. Power is supplied by a 2.0 TFSI with 211 horsepower and 258.15 lb-ft of torque as well as an electric motor with a peak output of 54 horsepower and peak torque of 154.89 lb-ft. Together, the two power sources generate a system power of 245 horsepower and a system torque of 354.03 lb-ft. The Q5 hybrid accelerates from 0 - 62 mph in just 7.1 seconds, while its combined fuel consumption is 26 mpg. The driver can switch between the three driving modes with the touch of a button and with the Tiptronic paddle shift lever. The EV characteristic map prioritizes the electric drive, while the D-mode efficiently controls both the internal combustion engine and electric motor. The S-mode and the manual shift gate of the Tiptronic are configured for a sporty style of driving. Within these constraints, the hybrid control module chooses the best operating mode at any given time. The Audi Q5 hybrid quattro can be driven with just the TFSI, just the electric drive or in hybrid mode. It also can recover energy during deceleration, or it can boost output for powerful acceleration when both drives work together. Importantly, the Q5 hybrid has quattro all-wheel drive. All engines are mated to the highly convenient eight-speed Tiptronic transmission and the confidence-inspiring Audi quattro all-wheel drive system. 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 offers 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 modified 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 refinement and functionality. The center console has high-gloss black inlays. All steering wheel designs, including a flat bottom S line® steering wheel, have been updated.The user controls also have been simplified. The central media component, Audi MMI Navigation plus, nowhas 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 offers 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 offers 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 confidence 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.
