Audi Q5

Advertisement

Where the Audi A7 will go heads on with the BMW X5, Audi also has a BMW X3 competitor designed the A5.

The Audi Q5 will be more of a crossover SUV like the Mitsubishi Airtrek and the Subaru Forester based on a car platform rather than built grounds-up from an SUV platform like the Q7/Touareg/Cayenne platform.

The Q5 will be based on an Audi A4 platform and will be powered by Audi’s 2.0 T FSI, 2.0 TDI and 3.2-litre V6 units.

The Audi Q5 is due for showrooms in 2007.

    PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz skipped the Cabinet meeting yesterday where she was expected to explain further to ministers the controversy over the allocation of Approved Permits for car imports.

    The International Trade and Industry Minister was supposed to attend the meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, as the Prime Minister was on leave and had gone to Los Angeles to see his wife.

    It is understood that Najib had instructed the 61-year-old politician to attend the meeting where she was also expected to brief the Cabinet on the National Car Policy, besides the AP issue.

    THIS IS CALLED “RUNNING AWAY”. CHEAP CHEAP…. SHOULD ASK HER TO RESIGN…. ANYWAY, SHE PROBABLY RICH ENOUGH TO SIT AT HOME FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS AND NOT TO WORRY ON PERSONAL FINANCIAL.

    PENANG: Vegetables will cost more following the recent rise in fuel prices, but consumers have been assured that the increase will only be between 3% and 5%.

    Federation of Vegetable Sellers Associations adviser Datuk Yeoh Chip Tong said this was because fuel costs influenced the price of vegetables, as diesel was used to power farm machines and used by lorries to transport goods.

    “At most, the recent increase in fuel prices will only push up prices by between 3% and 5%,” said Yeoh, who is also Penang Vegetable Wholesalers Association chairman.

    IT HAD HAPPEN AS I EXPECTED….. AND I EXPECT EMPLOYER STILL DO NOT INCREASE OUR SALARY TOO…. SAYING BAD BUSINESS.

    The Audi Q5 seems to be the new version of the 5-years old Allroad.
