It is called the Audi Q5 . Q7’s little brother , and at a first glance it looks great. It was designed to fight the BMW X3 and Land Rover Freelander 2 and it seems they have something to worry about , the audi quattro four-wheel-drive system is something they do now have

Audi Q5 measures 4,63 metres, it is longer than the 2 but in the boot area the Audi Q5 is between his rivals , it has a 540-litre boot smaller than the Freelander2(755l) but bigger than the BMW X3(480l) also it can triple if the rear seats are folded. Boot space increases to 1,560l

Audi says that the car is very safe to drive , also the driver can tune the suspension on the go
