Cover All Your Bases With the 2018 Audi Q5
Those with the need for a premium crossover utility that puts its best foot forward in every area you require, the popular and all-new 2018 Audi Q5 may seem more than a little enticing. Although it's been redesigned from the ground up, that doesn't mean those familiar with it won't find it unrecognizable. As the most popular global vehicle with four rings, the Q5 still retains its impressive skillset, while bringing greater heaps of intelligence, safety, and value to the equation.
Although the basic shape of the 2018 Q5 remains, Audi's designers have built on the character of the outgoing model by imbuing a more chiseled, athletic stance, and the function to go with it. So while the standard xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights make a prestigious first impression, they enhance your visibility to other drivers. The roof rails and power tailgate support this synergy, and even the 2018 Q5's sporting form has aerodynamic benefits.
But while your 2018 Q5 will certainly earn envious looks in our local parking lots, its interior takes the marriage of prestigious form with function to a higher plane. Leather upholstery-a rare standard amenity even among luxury crossovers-a choice of aluminum or wood inlays, Audi MMI with a click wheel control and integrated rear-view camera on a 7-inch screen, and three-zone climate control await. Along with the Q5's ability to seat five in comfort, or accommodate a maximum 60 cu-ft of cargo room, it's a comfortable place that can be converted to function in a pinch.
Audi has brought plenty of new technology to the 2018 Q5, and that includes what moves it. A new 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four with 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque routes power to all four wheels by way of a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. But the all-wheel drive system is new. Thanks to quattro with ultra-which intelligently saves gas by driving the front wheels in most situations-the 2018 Q5 returns 23 mpg city, and 27 mpg highway.
Want more with your 2018 Q5? There's plenty to take in. Audi Connect brings 4G LTE WiFi to your vehicle, and comes with Virtual Cockpit, which integrates infotainment functionality on a beautiful digital instrument display. Standard on most models is Drive Select's configurable driving modes, with additional comfort and function when equipped with optional suspension. You'll find basic safety features even on a base model, but if you decide to upgrade, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, rear cross traffic alert, and more become available.
To experience the value and convenience the 2018 Q5 has to offer, include it in your short list by scheduling a test drive with our Audi dealership in Kalamazoo, MI as it's convenient. A sales representative can answer any questions, and get you behind the wheel.
