2011 Audi Q5 Sport Utility Crossover

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

Showing off Audi's popular quattro all-wheel drive system in a well-priced premium crossover vehicle, the Audi Q5 is rich for the brand's styling identity as well as luxury appointments. For 2011, the Audi Q5 adds a new turbocharged, 2-liter base engine. Good for an accessible 211 horsepower, the smaller turbocharged powerplant is mated with a 6-speed manual transmission and boasts fuel economy of 20 city or 27 highway per gallon of fuel. For greater performance, the 3.2 liter V-6 returns with 270 horsepower connected to a 8-speed automatic transmission. Offering in Premium and Premium Plus trims, the 2011 Audi Q5 with the turbocharged 2-liter engine, a Premium Plus and Prestige trim level is available with the 3.2 liter powerplant. Inside of an interior which features leather, brushed aluminum and a beautiful choice of genuine wood inlays, 12-way front seats and a 3-zone automatic climate control system introduces the luxury of the 2011 Audi Q5 immediately. Equipment that can be added to the 2011 Audi Q5 includes Audi's parking system plus, xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights and the MMI navigation plus with 3-D capabilities.

Benefits of Driving a 2011 Audi Q5 Sport Utility Crossover

With the addition of the new 2.0 TFSI engine and 8-speed automatic, the 2011 Audi Q5 performs similarly to its V6-equipped counterpart while being much more fuel-efficient--now with an EPA highway rating of 27 mpg. The Q5 has the longest wheelbase in its class and that gives it an especially smooth, settled ride. With the V6, the Q5 has the highest towing capacity in its class. The Q5's rear-biased quattro all-wheel drive system brings more driving enjoyment than is typical for enthusiasts and those who might rather be driving a sport sedan, while the interior has just as much versatility and flexibility as other utility vehicles in this class.

What's new for 2011?

For 2011, the Audi Q5 gets two new models featuring a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine; this new engine has a higher peak torque rating than the existing V6, while simultaneously being much more fuel-efficient. This engine comes connected to a new 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.

Model Review

The 2011 Audi Q5 is now offered with two different engines. A 211-horsepower, 2.0-liter TFSI turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is new for this year. It joins the existing 270-hp, 3.2-liter V6 in the lineup. With the new 4-cylinder engine comes an 8-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 remains paired with a 6-speed automatic. Both engines have Tiptronic manual control, as well as the quattro all-wheel drive system, which sends about 60 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels under most driving conditions; on slippery surfaces or for better stability, the system will reapportion torque as needed.

Safety Ratings What do the Safety Ratings mean? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests: Driver Crash Grade: Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury. Passenger Crash Grade: Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger. Rollover Resistance: Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover. Side Impact Crash Test - Front: Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury. Side Impact Crash Test - Rear: Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.

2011 Audi Q5 Sport Utility Crossover

Original Warranty Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months

Audi Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Certified Pre-Owned Warranty To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points. Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer. Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include: Age/Mileage Eligibility To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers. Lease Term Certified Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less. Point Inspection These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details. Return/Exchange Program Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car. Roadside Assistance Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty. Special Financing Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers. Transferable Warranty When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect. Warranty Deductible This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
The Audi Certified pre-owned Limited Warranty is extremely comprehensive and covers up to six years from new vehicle in-service date or 100,000 total vehicle miles, whichever occurs first.* *See dealer for details
