Imeng's Automobile – New 2016 Audi Q5 Facelift: Premium Standard, Premium Plus and Prestige – Pricing, Specs and Package Options. Audi Q5 is a more than good-enough crossover which is offering great performance and rational fuel efficiency; security fittings, however, are reasonable to boast on. The new 2016 Audi Q5 is even much improved on both styling and capabilities, richer today’s luxury vehicle features packed in easy-to-do configurations. If you want something more than small family sedan, the new Q5 will be highly recommended to buy. It comes and re-brings the 3 available powertrains for the shake of serving more options; 2 gasoline engines and a diesel-powered TDI.

It’s no more secrets that the Audi Q5 luxury crossover leads the campaign of up-to-date attributes, and the crossover offers abundant of it. In the 2016 Q5 standard, buyers will be blessed with a fresh panoramic sunroof, chic leather wrapped seats and 8-way power front seat as well as 4-way power lumbar setting for driver, and Audi music interface with integrated iPod. Outside, Xenon+ headlamps and LED daylight running lamps are again standardized. Analyzing the engine lines available on the 2016 Audi Q5, we’re surprised seeing impressive figures. A 2.0L 4-cylinder TFSI is rated at 28 mpg/ hwy, 20 mpg/city and 23 mpg/mix, while it can pull out up to 220 horsepower at 4,450 to 6,000 rpm – with 258 lb-ft likely accomplished at 1,500 rpm. Sadly, slower acceleration is estimated in above 7 seconds. Familiar enough to see 130 mph as the maximum speed.

Lastly, you need to test the Q5’s towing capacity which is set in 4,400-lb maximum ability. It’s offered on the Q5 Premium Standard and Premium Plus, nothing to expect fro the top Q5 Prestige. Move to similar but less efficient one, 3.0L 6-cylinder TFSI offers 26/16 hwy/city and 21 mpg in average, a bit lower. Paired with 8-speed automatic and Audi’s quattro 4-wheel drive, the 3.0 Q5 comes stronger with 272-hp, 295 lb-ft, takes about 1 second shorter to catch 60 mph from start, while it’s equally stuck at 130 mph as its peak speed. Available on both 2016 Premium Plus and Prestige.

It’s set up for the most efficient, a 3.0L diesel-based TDI resembles the standard 2.0 gasoline in terms of strength. Engineered in 6-cylinder Turbocharged, AWD unit and 8-speed automatic transmission, the 2016 Q5 TDI offers 428 lb-ft with 240-hp power, 130-mph top track speed and 6.5 sec 0-60 accelerating range. All 2016 Audi Q5 features this diesel except that standard trim. The new 2016 Audi Q5 brings its three model options; a Premium Standard which is suggested to be priced at $41,000 – Premium Plus is $2,000 higher – and the top-line model Q5 Prestige is to start over $10,000 more expensive than the base version.
