The third-generation Audi Q5, based on a new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), improves driving dynamics and incorporates advanced technology. Since its US debut in 2009, the Q5 has become essential for Audi amid declining sedan popularity. While many automakers are pushing for electric vehicles, Audi is focusing on combustion engines due to current market demands. The Q5 will initially have two powertrain options, starting at $52,299, featuring a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, with the performance-oriented SQ5 also set for release, catering to US tastes.
Just a few years ago, the world's big car brands were telling us that soon everyone would be driving electric cars... Things haven't quite panned out the way people thought.
For Audi and the other premium brands within the Volkswagen Group empire, that's a new platform called PPC, or Premium Platform Combustion.
The model has been Audi's bread and butter here since the model went on sale in the US in 2009, as tastes changed and sedans fell out of favor.
What you wouldn't have known from that piece is how it drives, particularly on US roads. The answer is: surprisingly well.
