“Sometimes it's really hard being a car spy,” says our man behind these Audi Q5 spy pics. “There were two prototypes of the Q5 out driving late Sunday evening. Accompanying them were approximately 5 security cars controlling the roads up ahead and looking out for photographers. As a result, I didn’t get a front shot. Better luck next time.”
All the time around the world it is freezing cold and snowing somewhere. Therefore our spy guys will be most alert then, hiding behind obscure bushes or levitating inside a garbage bin, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting automakers who are out on an innocent midnight drive. Yeah, sure. Snap! Gotcha!
We know a lot about the Audi Q5 – one below big daddy Q7 – already, we even have a clue as to when it will make its world debut. The one in these pics looks like the diesel version, most likely the 3.0TDI, although I wouldn’t write off the new 750Nm, 4.2 TDI being given its run here as well.

the rear lights seem to match the autobild's spy pics of the car without camo posted recently, so I suppose they were preety true.

bring it to the u.s. with traditional Audi beauty, sportiness, comfort, and quality of recent history, drop the V6 TDI in it and you will have one sold right here for sure

lol @ phobos...And the GLK is a larger version of the c-class..so?.your point is? Following the success of the Q7, why not release a Q5 to appeal to those who wish a smaller SUV? Come on, be realistic, Audi have fantastic designs.Plain, sleek and aggressive. Timeless Design.

besides the Q7 is a lot better looking than the GL-class from which the GLK evolved
