#18 of 84 Q5 Estimated Pricing? by drbischo Jan 14, 2009 (2:30 pm)
Has anyone heard any price ranges for the Audi Q5? If its based on the B8 A4 platform like stated above, then it has to be more than the Audi A4 Pricing for 2009 which is: $40,750 - $48,800. Right??

#21 of 84 Test Drive - at last!! by ArmonkMusic Feb 03, 2009 (11:53 am)
My dealer had a couple of (fully loaded) Q5's for staff training today only; I was able to get a decent (30min) test drive. What a gorgeous vehicle!! Looks far better than the pics (which are already great) and drives like a dream. It's actually pretty roomy inside (loads more than the Tiguan) - plenty of shoulder room and the trunk's pretty good too. I'm now working through brochure (also picked up today) and waiting for pricing. Apparently pricing was set but then Mercedes released pricing for the GLK which prompted an Audi rethink (downwards, I assume).

I was able to test drive the Q5 today the wife loved it. better then the Mercedes GLK BMW X3 and Lexus RX350. Th bottom line is if you want a hood ornament that looks good in the driveway buy the Mercedes GLK. If you want great electronics get the RX350. If you want something to DRIVE get the Q5 blows away the aging X3 Replies to this message: edmundstephen (Feb 17, 2009 7:54 pm) rjlaero (Feb 18, 2009 10:55 am) e46m3 (Apr 20, 2009 3:08 pm) qball1 (Feb 26, 2009 5:11 pm)
#26 of 84 Test Drive by edmundstephen Feb 17, 2009 (7:54 pm)
Replying to: daleb2 (Feb 14, 2009 5:42 pm) I happened to call the dealership the day they received their first test cars. My impressions: - great driving dynamic, though not as car-like as the X3 - smaller cargo area than I had thought - looks good - wish i could get it without the panoramic sunroof (sunshade is semi-transparent! strange and ill-advised in hot climates) - wife approved, favorite CUV she's driven - stock radio kind of weak, but bang&olufsen only available on uber expensive Prestige package Now we need to check out the GLK as our local Audi dealership won't give us any deals on pricing until end of March.

Replying to: edmundstephen (Feb 17, 2009 7:54 pm) you can - the panoramic sunroof can be a deleted option on both the premium plus and prestige models. There is no roof on the premium model.
