Chassis

The Audi Q5 has the qualities of a sport utility vehicle thanks to an entirely new chassis. The front five-link suspension provides the necessary rigidity and precision when cornering and is soft and comfortable when driving in a straight line. Many components are made of aluminium. Tubular stabilizer saves weight. In addition to excellent driving performance, the rear independent multi-link suspension has small spatial dimensions. It also contains light and solid metals for weight reduction. As an option, the Q5 allows you to install a stiffer sports suspension with a 25 mm lower ground clearance. The electromechanical power steering saves up to 0.3 litres of fuel per 100 km compared to the conventional one and changes the gear ratio depending on the speed.

Safety

The systems implemented in the Audi Q5 increase driving safety. Audi Drive Select allows you to select from three preset driving modes for different conditions quickly. The permanent all-wheel drive system distributes torque in a ratio of 40:60 between the front and rear axles, providing stability on slippery roads. The Q5 is equipped with Hill Descent Assist as standard. And all this – in addition to a full range of restraint and active safety systems.
