Audi is also making a new compact SUV to take its place below the Q7 in the company’s model range. Dubbed Q5, it is sitting on a platform featuring elements from the next A4 and A6. In order to be able to use also the important V 8 power plants which are essential for the US market, the engines in this SUV will be mounted lengthwise, not transversely. The Q 5 is expected to debut at the beginning of 2008.
