Stand a chance to win a BeoPlay A1 when you test drive the latest Audi Q5

TCY Motors as the sole Audi dealer/importer today invited members of the press and media to a preview of the much awaited new second generation Audi Q5 premium SUV at Little Soho yesterday. I’ve been mentioning of the new Audi Q5 in my social media and previous postings on my blog and I’m pretty sure everyone’s anxious with the latest addition to the Audi family.

Audi’s success story in the mid-sized SUV segment became its first model to sell over a million units in less than six years since its introduction in late 2008. It was Audi’s best selling model globally for 2013 and 2014.

The global success also caught on in Brunei- it was the best selling Audi model locally from 2010 to 2014.

Defined by a clear Q DNA identity shared by its siblings, the emphasis is on power, strength and width of the new Q5. As with its predecessor the strengths of the new Q5 are in the fields of design, driving experience and everyday usability.

One of the features that I like about the Q5

Test-drive participants will enter a lucky draw to win an exclusive Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A1. The public is most welcomed to test drive and check out the new Q5.

Audi virtual cockpit

The Audi virtual cockpit – a TFT display with a 12.3-inch diagonal and 1,440 x 540 pixel resolution. It shows intricately rendered graphics.

The driver can switch between two views by pressing the “View” button on the multifunction steering wheel. In Infotainment mode, a central window dominates the view – it provides a lot of space for the navigation map or lists from the Phone, Radio and Media areas. The tachometer and speedometer are displayed as small round instruments on the right and left. In a second, classic view, they appear about as large as analog instruments, and the middle window is smaller.

The Audi virtual cockpit is operated from the multifunction steering wheel plus. Using switches on the left steering wheel spoke, the driver pages through the menus for the on-board computer, audio system, and – depending on the installed features – for the phone and navigation. Located on the right side of the steering wheel are the volume roller, the voice control button, express phone controls and the skip function for quickly changing the radio station or song.

Audi MMI navigation plus

MMI navigation plus with MMI touch or MMI all-in-touch tops the infotainment line-up. It adds an 8.3-inch monitor with 1,024 x 480 pixel resolution. With the handwriting-recognition technology, the driver may write their entry rather than selecting letters or numbers. This makes it easier map navigation using the touchpad.

Audi smartphone interface

The Audi smartphone interface brings Apple Car Play and Android Auto into the car. When a customer connects an iOS or Android cell phone (iOS 7.1 or higher, Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher) to the USB port, smartphone content such as Navigation, Phone, Music and select third-party apps are made available. They can be conveniently operated by MMI or voice control.

Audi has designed both applications especially for use in the car. The core content here is online music with access to the entire range of music from Google Play Music and iTunes. There are also navigation and notification functions as well as schedule reminders. New third-party apps like Pandora, Spotify and WhatsApp will further expand the range of features.

The all-new Audi Q5 comes equipped with quattro ultra technology. The quattro with ultra technology combines driving dynamics with efficiency and helps to cut consumption by up to 0.3 l/100 km. By switching between four-wheel drive and the more efficient front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive is used whenever the driving situation calls for it. The predictive operating strategy activates within a matter of milliseconds.

Actively controlled torque distribution constantly monitors the drive forces and distributes them between front and rear axle to suit current conditions i.e. whatever the driving situation calls for. Torque vectoring assists when cornering by enhancing traction and dynamics. Targeted braking of the inner wheels increases drive torque at the outer wheels.

With this new technology, Audi has developed an all-wheel drive system optimised for efficiency, which feels just like permanent systems in terms of traction and driving dynamics. With the new ultra technology, it is designed to set the standard in its class for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions – particularly under everyday conditions.

The Audi Q5 has won the 2017 “Golden Steering Wheel” in the “Large SUV” category and it’s an important award for Audi in a competition renowned throughout Europe

The Audi Q5 has won the 2017 “Golden Steering Wheel” in the “Large SUV” category. Prior to the selection, readers of the German automotive trade magazine Auto Bild, its 20 European sister publications and the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag had determined nominations from the new cars presented in 2017. An international panel of experts crowned the winner from these nominations. Peter Mertens, AUDI AG Board Member for Technical Development, accepted the prize for the Audi Q5 on Tuesdayevening in Berlin.

A total of 42 models competed in five categories in this year’s “Golden Steering Wheel” contest. After a Europe-wide reader survey, 20 cars made the final round and were judged by the experts: race drivers, engineers, designers, connectivity specialists, frequent drivers, critics and, not least, the editors-in-chief of all European sister publications of Auto Bild. They tested the finalists and determined which would win the coveted trophy. The Audi Q5 won through against seven other competitors in the “Large SUV” category. “The expertise and broad cross-section of opinions represented by the jury panel, as well as its renown throughout Europe, are what make the prize so coveted within our industry. The 2017 “Golden Steering Wheel” for the new Audi Q5 shows we have produced a worthy successor to the successful first generation of this SUV model line. We are proud of this prize,” said Peter Mertens at the award ceremony at the Axel-Springer-Haus in Berlin.

The new Audi Q5 was launched at the start of the year. The second generation of the best-selling Audi has established several new standards in the B segment of premium SUVs. The best drag coefficient in the competition, consistent lightweight design and modern engines ensure high efficiency, as does the new quattro drive system with ultra technology. In addition, the new Audi Q5 offers a broad portfolio of new driver assist systems, modern infotainment and connectivity equipment, and air suspension with damper control.
