2017 Audi Q5 Paris Reveal

The latest Audi Q5 is very important for the company as the previous model was a very strong seller

As ever, Audi's designers have taken an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary approach to the new car's styling

The new Audi Q5 closely resembles a scaled-down Q7 in the way it's been designed

With the familiar chrome-trimmed hexagonal grille and strong LED daytime running light graphics

It'll come with a range of petrol and diesel engines, while front-wheel drive is available as an option for the first time

There aren't an awful lot of curves to be found on the Q5's body - it's all sharp angles and straight lines

All models come with alloy wheels as standard

The new car is up to 90kg lighter than the outgoing Q5, improving performance, handling and fuel economy

While orders for the new car will open in 2017

Not much has changed in terms of design inside, either 

Audi's excellent Virtual Cockpit digital instrument panel will be available as an option

And it'll also be available with the latest version of Audi's MMI infotainment system

Expect the usual high-quality finish inside that Audi has become well known for

As with other Audis, the new Q5's interior design is very clean and minimalist

Rear legroom should be improved over the previous model, thanks to a longer wheelbase

The 40:20:40 split folding rear seat can be slid forward, reclined and folded flat
