SPIED: The CAMO Comes Off — NEW Spy Shots Of The All-New Audi Q5

If I were to name one automotive brand that is desperately in need of all-new products, Audi would come to mind. Walk into a showroom with the four rings and it is a bit shocking how outdated its vehicles truly are.

While the all-new A4 and all-new Q7 are on the way, neither will arrive stateside until 2016.

Then there is the A6, A7, A8 and Q5. The good news, at least, is that we know an all-new Q5 is undergoing developmental testing as we type.

Spotted for one of the first times, the all-new Q5 is clearly going to be an evolution of the current-gen product. From what I can tell, the only significant change will happen with the Q5's facade. Expect it to look rather Q7-like.

For now we have no idea on how the interior will look but don't expect it to differentiate itself too far from what the all-new A4 and Q7 have established.

why bother with camo? Just show the current model and no one will know the difference.

I really love the look of the 2014-2016 Q5 (I have a 2015), though I'm not a fan of Audi in general, and I'm especially not a fan of where Audi's styling is going (protuberant grill, sharp body creases, straight lines, loads of trapezoids). Also, the innards have changed substantially, and not just the interior styling. It's built on a new platform, which reduces weight by an alleged 200 kg (440 lbs.)

To *my* eyes, the 2017 Q5 (pictured) is what I expected, and not in a good way (see points above)> Also, the overall design looks more like a station wagon than an SUV/crossover.

If you're not familiar with the Q5, then the 2017 model looks identical (as you state), but if you are familiar with today's Q5, then you can readily see the differences. I'm not caring for them. Glad I got mine before the change.

How "all new" can it be? The Macan is essentially a Q5 with 911 caricature styling grafted on.

"Porsche is quick to point out that 75 percent of the Macan's parts are new or revised."
