audi' s new crossover wagon. it will share the same platform with cayenne and toureg. will be availible in 2007 i think

[saadie]

wow .... this looks good ... the front end looks aggrisive .... i hope it beats the cayenne ....

[ikon2003]

Looks a little generic to me personally, though it's hard to say from the photo. It would b nice to see an Audi SUV for comparison, (and then possibly a crazy-souped up one w/ the RS6 engine that would be competition for the Cayenne turbo... wishful thinking.)

Looks like a even taller version of the all-road.

[sndr]

It seems to look a bit like the Cayenne i hope not to much cause it's horrible

[is64fun]

it will have three seats so as big as a volvo or a discovery perhaps.

[komotar]

looks so so

Can' wait for more pics......I'm sure somebody will catch audi people off guard and take some more spy shots...

It's called the Q5

a bigger sportback to me
not a great car(my opinion)

[SPEEDKILLAR]

I'll take the X5 or Cayenne over this, well actually over al current SUV's...

No it will be called the Q7 (some say Q6). You are showing pics of some Q5 impressions, but the spy pic above is one of the Audi Q7. The Q5 (based in the Audi A4) will be a competitor for the X3, but it's not sure this car will be launched, although one testmule has been spotted a while ago. If they are planning on producing this one, you won't see it before 2007 I guess.

The Q7 will be launched late 2005, as a competitor for the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, VW Touareg, Range Rover, Mercedes M-Class, etc. Engines will be: a 3.2 V6, a 4.2 V8, a 3.0 V6 TDI, a 4.0 V8 TDI and maybe a 3.7 V8, a 5.0 V10, and 6.0 W12. The 5.0 V10 will be probably a sportier model, called the SQ7 (Audi registered all names form Q3 to Q8, and SQ3 to SQ8 a few months ago)

The Q7 will look quite a lot like the Pikes Peak concept car.
Some extra pics (don't get fooled by the strange logo or the fake rear lights):

The whole shape of this car is bit of BMW X5 copy,but anyway manufactures copy each other everyday,though its not bad!!!

[raphaelws]

nice!! the rear look like the new A3

[DeMoN]

No way X5 still is better looking. This one though is better than the cayenne!

[noosee]

looks very nice to me

[blinkmeat]

It'll be better than any X5, Cayenne... No.

[Vansquish]

Looks better than the Cayenne, but that's not saying much hehe.... I actually think it's going to be a reasonably attractive vehicle...only problem is that it's still an SUV.

well said

[Pimp Racer]

Cant wait to see this in production looks badass! IMO.

[gobs3z]

Well those tail lights look like crap. I can't comment on the rest of it yet. The VW look for SUV's will always look better than the Audi look for SUV's just because the audi look doesn't fit any kind of truck. At least the new audi look.

[dutchmasterflex]

yuck.. 4.8is X5 please :) actually i'll take the V12 X5 LM

[gottacatchup]

the end has come, I'm probably going to get corrected on this buuuut, I believe that audi was the last major manufacturer selling their cars in the US that didnt have an SUV in its car line. Please Audi dont make it stand against the trendiness and don't make another superluxurysport SUV

[cho_888]

lol yeah i think i would go for a cayenne or an X5 but if i was to buy a porsche i would buy a 911

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

I dont fancy too much with the Q line´s shape im afraid considering the drawing shown earlier, any direct rival such as the X5, the ML, the XC90, the Lexus looks much better IMO....anyway....its too early IMO to get any conclusion till Audi launches officialy it models presentation

[enfermin]

i think its a pretty good answer........

but it looks like a refined all road

[Wutputt]

Extra spypic of the Q7:

[bmwmpower]

Looks bad - front is good ,but back is terible

[ikon2003]

Thanks for the new pics - got a much better idea of it now. I'd have to say the styling is a bit plain on it (and some toureg lines can definitely be seen in it - not a good thing imo). I'd rather have it more unique in styling, and less generic. On a side note, I think the Pikes Peak concept was siiick - that would truly be an incredible SUV.

[Rudla]

Very, very good job.... :shock: :!:

[tata1234]

It looks very nice, but please what are those wheels? 15" maybe.

[homemade wrx]

I like it...I hope it does well
