Caught on Camera-Audi's new Q5 during cold weather testing

Audi Q5 is considered as one of the bestselling luxury crossovers in the country and has been giving a real hard time to BMW X3. Now Audi India has plans to give Audi Q5 Crossover a mid life facelift by 2013 and the face-lifted model was seen during its cold weather test run in Nordic. The new Audi Q5 Crossover looks a head-turner and has received the new look on the front. The freshly designed headlamps and a restyled grille steal the show. The bumper has also been given a makeover, however, it is still a bit unclear as to what other changes apart from headlamps, grille and bumper have been given to the new Audi Q5 Crossover.

The rear end of the new Audi Q5 Crossover appeared to be quite similar to the current model. Audi assembles Audi Q5 at its Aurangabad assembly unit via CKD or completely knocked down unit. The current model comes with a 2 litre of TDI diesel engine, which has been priced very competitively to fetch more sales to company. Apart from this, Audi India will also commence the assembling of Audi Q7 in the country in next couple of months by the means of CKD kits. This will hopefully cut down the cost of Audi Q7 by around 20%, which is certainly very impressive. Therefore, be ready to expect a toned down price tag for 2012 Audi Q7 Crossover in next few months.
