In the luxury brand of medium-sized SUVs, Audi Q5L is a very competitive one, it sold a total of 22029 units in January-February 2022, second only to Mercedes-Benz GLC and BMW X3, the car's "every move" naturally implicates the hearts of consumers, some people feel that its interior design is not good, missing the luxury sense that luxury brands should have, some people feel that its 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is not OK, there is no Mercedes-Benz 9AT gearbox and BMW's 8AT gearbox "advanced", Some people also think that its quattro four-wheel drive system is not good, and replacing the Tolson full-time four-wheel drive system with a multi-piece clutch-type time-based four-wheel drive system is "simple"... In the midst of skepticism, sales of the Audi Q5L have not subsided, and it is still one of the mainstream luxury mid-size SUVs.
A few days ago, foreign media exposed the new audi Q5 new car hypothetical map, compared with the current model, the appearance design of the new car has changed too much, basically can not find the "shadow" of the model. It is reported that this car will be based on the new Audi A4 MLB Evo platform, with a new exterior design, interior design and electrification level, and will be officially unveiled in 2023.
In the exterior part, the front face of the new car is flatter, the front grille size does not look as large as the current model, and the inside of the grille and the inside of the air intakes on both sides are black honeycomb-like trims, which enhances the sense of movement of the front face.
The side part of the car, and the current model is not the same at all, the biggest change is the way of handling the corner of the rear window, a bit like the Volkswagen Tanyue, it looks more fashionable, and the sports atmosphere is attenuated. The blackened trim strips on the upper part of the windows connect the tail window frame for better integrity. In the rear part, the car uses through-type taillights, headlights and taillights of the interior lights with lighting effect I believe Audi will not let us down, after all, it has the title of "light factory". The current model (dynamic type) adopts a bilateral exhaust decoration of four out, and the new car is a bilateral exhaust layout of two out, and the exhaust pipe position is low, which may be "true exhaust".
Audi Q5 e-tron
The interior part, the hypothetical picture has not been exposed, we expect that the new car will use a similar design language to the Audi Q5 e-tron, the interior design of the current model has been applied for many years, if the replacement model does not use a new interior design, it will be somewhat unspeakable. Although the Audi Q5 e-tron does not use the "triple screen" design on the Audi A6L and Audi A7L, its interior technology atmosphere is not bad, and the new Audi Q5 is still easy to get the favor of consumers if it also adopts this design scheme.
The exposure of the new generation of Audi Q5 may be the last generation of fuel version of Audi Q5, after the launch of this generation of models, to its continued "struggle" of 5 years, it should usher in the full electrification of the Audi brand, which will be the era of new energy vehicles, and where should the fuel version of Audi Q5 go? There is a high probability that it will stop production and "make way" for pure electric SUVs of the same level and grade.
In terms of power, the car will share the powertrain with the new generation Audi A4, and it is expected to be a powertrain of 2.0T+7DSG, and equipped with quattro four-wheel drive system. It is also not excluded that hybrid models based on 2.0T engines (possibly 48V light hybrid systems) or plug-in hybrid models will be introduced. Of course, the imaginary diagram is not necessarily very accurate, and it may also be quite different from the real car. So, what do you think about the new generation of Audi Q5?
