2009 Audi Q5 debuts at Chinese auto show
The entry-level Audi Q5, designed to go against the BMW X3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLK-class, has been unveiled at the Auto China show in Beijing. While it brings nothing new to the compact-CUV segment, initial unconfirmed reports suggest it will be built in China.
While tricking the public with “German” quality is nothing new for Audi, considering the TT is built in Hungary and the A3 in Belgium, Chinese production would be a suicidal leap off the deep end for the growing luxury brand.
For the American market, the only engine for this all-wheel-drive vehicle will include a 265 hp 3.2L V6 with a 6-speed auto.
