The 2009 Audi Q5 will be available with a 270-hp 3.2-liter V6 and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The AWD system splits torque 40/60 front/rear, and has the ability to shift as much as 65 percent to the front and 85 percent to the rear as driving conditions warrant. Standard on Q5 are 18-inch wheels; 20-inch wheels are available. Available safety features should include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, curtain side airbags, and rear side airbags. Available features include Audi's MMI (Multi Media Interface) system, which uses a dashboard screen and control knob to control audio, navigation, suspension, and many other functions. Other available features include three-zone climate control, a navigation system with real-time traffic information, keyless entry and starting, rearview camera, power tailgate, and a wireless cell phone link. The Q5 should go on sale in the first quarter of 2009. We have not yet tested the 2009 Audi Q5.
