Audi Q5 Prices

PaulieC

read in the Times today that the new Audi Q5 2.0 TDI will start at 38k when launched. Price seems very low to me (almost obtainable ). Any reason to suppose this price is wrong??

cant be right. its more expensive to buy a Kia then. :pac:

RedorDead

Its wrong - thats the German price that was in all the reviews last week.

I'd say it'll be close to 60k for entry level.. out of my range! Scooby D for me.

voxpop

a bit off topic - but I read that the 2.0TDI in this give 170bhp. Anyone know if most of that is generated by a huge turbo and so loads of turbo lag or have VW engines come on that much in recent years?

30k in uk - so expect closer to 60 here - looks good but will probably be disappointing to drive

I'd buy a Kuga if they'd make a bloody auto one!

Ahh cool - anyone seen one in the metal?

Cyrus

surely very similar to any of the rest them only fitted with a woefully underpowered engine

its 170bhp, you are mixing engines up

steve-hosting36

The 2.0TDI is 170bhp, the 2.0 TSFI is 211bhp.

These are also Audi's new 'efficient' diesels, with a carbon output of less than most standard 4 door saloons.

Cyrus

no they arent, like i said you have mixed the power output of two engine up. And where did you get that last bit, from the audi website

the TFSI is a petrol engine, seen in the golf gti, audi tt etc.

anyone else think its odd audi putting these engine in the q7, id understand if they made a smaller jeep and put them in it

i mean i cant see (altho im sure it will happen now ) bmw putting the 2.0d in the x5

steve-hosting36

Sorry, I stand corrected.

This is the Q5 tho, not the Q7 - the Q7 is about 2.2 tons and the Q5 is about 1.7.

Cyrus

ah! now i stand corrected, sorry

i thought they were putting these engine in the q7, doh!

q5 is an bmw x3 type job then i presume

steve-hosting36

Exactly - it's just been released in Ireland
