In recent years, the crossover trend of Coupe SUV has intensified in the market. That’s right, for traditional auto companies, this type of product is an important part of attracting the attention of young consumers and lowering the average car buying age of brand car buyers. So from a long-term perspective, it is understandable that major auto companies are making efforts in the field of Coupe-type SUVs.
Volkswagen Group’s efforts in the Coupe SUV market are mainly driven by the Chinese market. In recent years, the Volkswagen brand, Audi brand and Skoda brand have all deployed this niche product series in the Chinese market. After Audi launched the Audi Q3 Sportback, the Audi Q5 Sportback has also exposed road test spy photos.
Judging from the exposed photos, the brand-new Audi Q5 Sportback is obviously more conservative than Mercedes-Benz and BMW in terms of the design of the Coupe top. It does not completely continue the design of the large slip-back, but strives to find a balance between the small slip-back and the large slip-back. Therefore, on this test car, the line of the roof is not excessively depressed, and the downward dive after passing the B-pillar has also converged a lot. The line of the entire roof before the C-pillar is more consistent with the ordinary version of the Audi Q5.
Under the effect of this full roof line, the new Audi Q5 Sportback also provides a small roof spoiler to derive the visual length of the roof, and the space in the rear row will not be affected by the Coupe positioning. And somewhat compressed.
As for the rear of the vehicle, just like the Audi A7 Sportback, a ducktail design is used to complete the finish, and the entire rear will not be as tall as the BMW X6. Of course, due to the adoption of the SUV configuration, the new Audi Q5 Sportback will not be as stretched as the Audi A7 Sportback in terms of the overall slenderness of the vehicle. But compared to the Audi Q5, the effect is much better.
This may be the charm of cross-border.
In terms of details such as the front face, the new Audi Q5 Sportback also adopts the new-generation Audi family-style design. Like the Audi A4, the position of the polygonal air intake grille is lowered, and an additional grille is added above it. A small air intake. This point is not the same as the current Audi Q5. It is highly probable that the Audi Q5 with a minor facelift will continue this design.
As for the power and platform, to be honest, there is nothing to look forward to. MLB Evo platform, 2.0T turbocharged engine. In addition, the new car is expected to be officially unveiled next year.
How to put it, it may be that I am old, but I still find it difficult to accept this Coupe crossover-style SUV. Since I like the design of Coupe so much, why not buy a serious sports car? Since you need an SUV with passing performance, why not buy an off-road vehicle? Is it impossible to use such a kind of off-road, and the handling is not good enough?
On this topic, I would like to hear your opinion in the message.
