LOS CABOS, Mexico – The tip of the Baja peninsula may seem an odd place to host the global introduction of the second generation of the Audi Q5. But the new 2018 Q5 is built not all that far from this virtually deserted if grandly named state of Baja California Sur. On a map, it’s just a few inches over the surf, in San José Chiapa. Audi’s sparklin

Audi has just unveiled the all-new second generation Q5 compact SUV. The new SUV gets a bold new nose, with short overhangs, angular headlights, and Audi's new grille. Moving down the side, the crease running over the wheels and along the doors is more pronounced, and flares over the rear wheels. The hood has new creases, and at the back is a chrom

The 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback will look to introduce a little bit of fun and playfulness into the Audi crossover lineup when it goes on sale in Canada next year. The 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback isn't much different than the regular version of the crossover on which it's based, except for the rearward-sloping, coupe-like roofline, which helps give the

The 2021 Audi Q5 lineup has been refreshed with sharper looks and the addition of a mild hybrid system. The mild hybrid system is the big highlight with this refresh, as it augments the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 12-volt electric system, giving it a 13-horsepower boost. The Q5 now outputs a combined 261 horsepower and 2

2014 Volvo XC60 T6 AWD Platinum vs 2014 Audi Q5 TDI Technik.  Review by Jacob Black, photos by Jeff Wilson and Jacob Black The sheer amount of variation among SUVs is proof positive that the genre is here to stay. Small, medium, large; sport, luxury, super-sport; diesel, gasoline, hybrid – where once there was just SUV, now there a

MUNICH – The forest-green Audi A8L luxury sedan is loafing along an unrestricted stretch of the Autobahn just south of Munich at about 140 km/h when suddenly, before me, there is not a speck of traffic – an unusual opportunity these days. So down goes the hammer, and within seconds a seemingly endless wave of torque has me cresting what I thought w

Audi says 9,700 examples of its A4 sedan , A5 coupe and Q5 crossover models sold in 2008 and 2009 have airbag control modules with faulty power supply components . In these cars, that component could corrode, causing a lack of electrical conductivity and a nonfunctional airbag control unit. That would trigger an airbag warning light, and T

Shopping for an SUV? You and everyone else, it seems. But if you’ve got a bit more budget to play with and can serve your wants as much as your needs, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by your options. Two-row SUVs run the gamut of size, performance, electrification options, and comfort and convenience features, especially in the higher price brac

German weekly news paper Bild am Sonntag is reporting that the California Air Resources Board (CARB), a department of that state's environmental protection agency, has discovered a new emissions test cheat in Audi cars. This is a different workaround than the Volkswagen diesel cheat, and was reportedly used in both gasoline and diesel-powered ve

The 2015 BMW X3 28d is the latest luxury SUV/crossover to offer a diesel engine as well as a choice of gasoline engines, joining the Audi Q5 TDI and Mercedes-Benz GLK 250 Bluetec in the compact luxury SUV segment. BMW’s combination of a small 2.0L turbocharged diesel mated to a standard eight-speed automatic transmission allows it to achieve the

NIAGARA, Ontario – The 2019 Infiniti QX50 is probably one of the most impressive makeover stories in recent memory. That’s a big statement when you consider the sheer volume of new crossovers flooding the market. Indeed, Infiniti claims it marks the most important vehicle launch in the history of their brand, with the expectation of it quickly be

Is it possible that fairy tales really can come true? ...has BMW crafted a golden egg? If there’s anyone who could pull it off, it’s the Germans. After all, fairy tales are more ingrained in German culture than any other. And where the luxury compact SUV market is concerned, BMW is looking for a big one with the launch of its third

Ivalo, Finland – They call it White Hell. We’re riding in a tour bus about 300 km north of the Arctic Circle, and if we were to match up Ivalo’s latitude (68.65 degrees N) with a location in Canada, it would be somewhere near Gjoa Haven, Nunavut. I’ve only been further north once in my life, and when I think of such remote locations in Canada, i

Audi Q8 Sport concept As Audi looks set to expand its range of RS-badged high-performance SUVs and crossovers, Ford is mulling the application of its own RS badge to a crossover or two. The Ford news comes from the UK's Car Dealer Magazine, which spoke to Dave Pericak, global boss of the brand's performance division. Obviously a wise man, he
