Cars I 71


AUDI Q5 PRICE: from US$42,500 No, you’re not imagining things – this really is the new Audi Q5. While it may not look much different, the German firm’s new mid-range off-roader gets a sharper front end and more dominant grille, and has grown longer and taller, too.


Despite those extra dimensions, though, the new Q5 has


been walking past plenty of cake shops, losing 90kg over its predecessor. It will initially offer a choice between just one 2.0-litre turbo-diesel and one turbo-petrol engine, both with four-wheel drive. A larger diesel will follow, as will a sportier SQ5 model. Complete with the latest driving safety tech and Audi’s usual superb interiors and build quality, this new Q5 should be better than ever.


MINI COUNTRYMAN PRICE: from US$29,000 Big, it seems, is the new small – welcome to the largest Mini ever. BMW’s new Mini Countryman is longer and wider than before, as it grows to meet the new breed of crossovers and 4x4s. It has also grown in price, with a starting figure north of US$29,000, which is no small change. For the first time, the


Countryman will get a plug-in hybrid version, while that plus- sized exterior thankfully means more space on the inside. Add an electric tailgate, a larger boot and clever touches such as a fold-out cover to protect the bumper from clambering dogs, and it’s sure to be a hit. With its continued low ground clearance, though, don’t expect the same 4x4 ability as some rivals.n
