Looks too utilitarian for me at the front. Dont like the tiny A3 door mirrors, or the fact the rear lights look the the Q3 either. It just looks like a re-hashed picture of the Q7 they had in the mag before so will probably be totally different...... hopefully!
If It looks like that I will be jumping ship to the Lexus NX
The pictures showed up last night but without any text, the article states "We're expecting production of the new Q5 to begin in the middle of 2016, with an on-sale date towards the end of that year."
Looks like a reasonably weak effort by Auto Express to fill a page or two. I would imagine the actual version will have more changes, all they have done is stick a new front on the existing car.
Talking abut production mid 2016 with sales later that year,means a new SQ5 could be 3 years away - that sounds perfect to me.
On the fence with this one at the moment. I didn't like the front of the new TT when I first see it but the latest pics of the new TTS is starting to grow on me, so I will reserve judgement until I see some "proper" production photos for Q5.
As it stands I prefer the look of the current range, the rear doesn't look that much different though.
It's strange how out tastes change,wen I 1st saw pics of the x6 ,I thought it looked like a 6 series on steroids ,and didn't like,and then a year l8r bought 1 ,and to date is one of my favourite suv's í ½í¸
Don't believe any of these! Japanesey! A flipped over grill and angular lines. If that drastic a change why keep the side panels the same? Would be angular all around? Have to see!
Car makers have got lazy in new models and are developing rather than bringing in radical redesigns. Guess they may blame a few years of recession as having not made as much money to put into new model development.
I rather like it, but suspect it's a photoshop job on a current Estoril Blue SQ5, give aways are that the grille/headlights aren't very sharp, and the side profile/rear lights look rather like the current car, they've just messed with the rear valance and exhaust area. Autoexpress is the 'Sun' of the automotive press....shiny toilet tissue
