SUV, 2018 Audi Q5 was the most efficient in the segment.
The upper segment of compact luxury crossovers are pretty saturated. And in order to successfully compete, every manufacturer seeks out the opportunity to make your car better than others.
Because it depends on the end result of sales. What’s different from his rivals for the 2018 Audi Q5?
Most “sick” question any car — fuel consumption. Recently, the U.S. Agency for environmental protection (EPA) recognized the German SUV produced in Mexico, the most economical. According to estimates of EPA, it consumes of 9.41 liters of fuel per 100 km.
Its closest competitors, in terms of fuel consumption are BMW X3 xDrive28i AWD Lexus NX 200t and the Mercedes-Benz 4Matic GLC300 consuming 9.8 l/100 km. the Trick Audi is the new version of the 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged TFSI engine coupled with a seven-speed automatic S Tronic transmission with double clutch. Power to 252 HP and torque of 370 Nm, enough to accelerate the car from standstill to “hundreds” of 5.9 seconds — 1.1 seconds faster than the first generation Q5.
Another “trick” lies in the full-drive system, the Quattro final iteration. It is designed not only to enhance off-road capability and fuel economy on public roads as well as improving drivability.
Electronic-controlled multi-plate clutch and adjustable differential rear axle allow optimally distribute torque and within 250 milliseconds to change the settings that are changed at the request of the driver or due to road conditions. The sensor system monitors the load on each wheel to detect slip, the cornering speed and the engine torque. The data processed by a computer that simulates the situation of every 10 milliseconds, assessing where to direct more torque that occurs within 500 milliseconds.
A new generation of full-drive system is also available in 2017 A4 Allroad, where it was presented for the first time on the model 2017, A4 with manual transmission and 2018 A5 Coupe also with a manual transmission.
