The new Sounds Q5 is certainly an of the car more terrifies dell' year. The segment of the middle SUV, after the success of the BMW X3 (that for a lot of time has found totally free of to supply a nearly lacking product alternatives, Toyota RAV4 to part) late convinced the main competitors to undertake the challenge of the distribution, which ended to crowd the Lounge of Geneva of the run March: here we were able to see in preview the Volvo XC60, it Koleos and a version semidefinitiva of the Mercedes GLK (still you do not show in list). In definitive, with the recent one "hiring" of the Volkswagen Tiguan, of the Peugeot 4007 (and of the cousins Citroen C-Crosser and Mitsubishi Outlander) and with it already toughened presence of the Korean (Kia Sorento, Holy Hyundai Fe and Ssangyong Actyon), the category enjoys of an extraordinary vitality.

L' sounds Q5 will be a SUV of middle dimensions, but from the aesthetic characterization rather sporty, with motive omaggianti the style of the prototype Cross Four, that of it spaciously anticipated the contents. I am now months that the prototypes dell' Sounds Q5 come spied on all over the world and the rendering, d' other song, waste themselves. But the official presentation to the public one did not arrive at the just stadium of maturing, preferring to remain - with a sort of detached snobbishness - hidden under a veil of tissue paper (now the shapes abundantly were anticipated from photograph spies on and imaginative anticipations very adhering to its definitive shapes) teasing even more curiosity and awaited of how much already not pits in a position of to do.

But also to the first Lounge European dell' year was lacking, besides the already "matured" BMW X3, a' other reginetta that constituted a point of reference, expression of the features of image, endowment, comfort and prestige of a classic belonging to vehicle to the segment Premium: a small Sounds Q7, well.

It will be based on the platform dell' Sounds A4, will have a length equal to about 4 meters and 70 and will share much componentistica with the other cars, SUV particularly, belonging to the Group Volkswagen-Sounds. The Q5 will be equipped with engines arranged lengthwise (to accommodate, in top to the range, also a likely motorization 8 cylinders to V of beyond 4 liters of rolled) and characterized from a raised "rate" of technology: direct injection of gasoline and diesel (TFSI and TDI) to guarantee powers raised, low consumptions and emissions. It talks about 4 cylinders I Get upset 2 liters (elected more picked like engine dell' year) like before choice of motorization, passing for 2 liters TDI from 140 or 170 Hp, for 6 cylinders from 3.2 liters, until, like aforesaid, to the grandiose one V8 destined also to the American market. But not only. The presentation of the Q5, in fact, arrives strategically guessed: 19 April, in fact, it is inaugurated the Lounge dell' Car of Beijing, very important for the brand German. The China, does not go forgotten, recently surpassed the Great Britain like more important market for Sounds outside from the territory German.

Services, therefore, but also the proverbial comfort and and high level of habitability (increased from an impeccable endowment and of a secondary list really rich of opportunity) that marks a product of the House of four rings. For the Q5, besides, the all-wheel drive four, I change to 6 gears and the new transmission semi-automatic DSG to double friction, that in the new version 2008, has the new configuration to seven gears.

The slow Sounds of broadening of the range with features potentially "off-road" stop not at the new one Q5: in the drawer c' is also the A4 Allroad and now for some time talks about SUV even more "mini" : the references, particularly, go to possible Sounds Q3 and Sounds Q1.
