On this day in Moscow just fallen snow. 20 inches of wet snow in one day - what better way to test the crossover? But even such as Audi Q5. We've been waiting for him - and, in the sense that the emergence of a more compact model than the Q7, talking almost immediately after the last one, and that "five" met since last summer. And - here it is covered with snow, and under that blanket - dark gray, like forest mouse during the summer. But it is similar to a mouse was, oh no! ... I remember when I was last summer for the first time I saw the Tiguan folksvagenovsky not in the pavilion, and "live" on the street, I was struck by its "compact" form. Well, it would seem, almost 4.5 meters long - and the crossover is more like a potolstevshy Golf. I assure you that with the Q5 This did not happen. On snow-covered pavement was a real beast impetuous. Specifically looked - Q5 only 11 inches longer Tiguan. How did ingoldshtadskim designers to create a full SUV in the crossover? I have no answer to this question. But now, at least, it is understandable why they were in no hurry to take place in the compact SUV class preimum. Notwithstanding litsaKogda I write these lines, Moscow littered with snow, the thermometer stood at around just above zero. And by the evening promises to have a minus 13 (I do not know whether justified prediction), and the whole chilled slurry underfoot turns to ice. What am I doing? And besides that, three years ago, on March 24 in Moscow, was exactly the same weather. And the potholes around the race track on Running impressively transshipped several black Audi Q7, while behind the wheel of one of them sat and ya.Pervoe impression: the car is amazing. And luxury trim, and their dimensions and their habits - both road and off-road. But that's uncomfortable to me it somehow ... That is life my status did not meet the cost of the car under three million rubles, or even with my dimensions seem too spacious salon ... In short, I wanted to Q7 slightly thinner, or something ... And like This is not me alone. And in most Audi is also a great osoznali.Voobsche, with this brand in recent years, there are an amazing metamorphosis. In terms of design it - perhaps the first in the premium class, even in Stuttgart and Munich are not offended. Audi just changed her image parallel to the passage of time: life is changing - and Audi along with it. In the most feminine of its models happy to sit down a guy with manners Schumacher, and vice versa - at the wheel of the same Q7 and the weaker sex feels quite uverenno.Opyat not understand? .. Well, then, shall we say ... Nearly all automakers share their lineup. There is a "car for real men," "women" for "housewives", etc. Audi because its range does not divide, its model - they are for everyone. Who sat behind the wheel - he will be having fun, despite the noisy mob of children behind, the cargo in the trunk or long-legged blonde on the right. Audi Q5 - yet another addition in this series. On its skinSoglasen - too many words for the entry. It's time to plunge into the world of interior Audi - really and truly, I like it! On pressing the key fob orange turn signals blink twice Q5, clicked the locks - Welcome! What can I say? Very nice interior, white and gray. And the color and touch. Pale cream, almost white leather seats ... You know, I would have worked in the publication of a different profile, compared to her ... well, you know, anything. Or with whom. And so I just sat down at her, and bucket seats takes me to not clinging, but strong arms. Slightly higher than necessary, lumbar support - easy keystroke, and he dutifully slips deeper and down. Another press - and raises the seat up me. Another - and the back slope changes. Everything happens so quietly, as if that happens without my involvement. Legs longish? Do not worry, there is a backwater in the front seat, it can be put forward. Well, as it is convenient? Easy! A key, I'm sorry, where? On the steering column Audi has long been no cuts, but frank and nests, as the Mini or French models, either. Ah! Here it is, a thin slit in the lining of the console! Press in the key in it - comes to life instrument panel, the arrows round the scale - and red icicles freeze in position "for six hours." Beautiful ... Another pressing the key (the foot on the brake pedal) - barely audible vzrevyvaet engine, and xenon makes the snow cover the bright blue and sparkling. You can go! Well ... I would not hurry. And so I know I was capable of standing by the hood of the famous TFSI. It "only" 200 hp - But with the volume of two liters. So that throws long and short distances to priberezhem potom.Poka that you just want to osmotretsya.Pribornaya panel Audi - is the height of elegant simplicity. All clear at a subconscious level. Well, if you pressed the wrong button - which appeared on a color LCD image will tell you what to do. Operated by the whole MultiSystem two vernier and a joystick on the tunnel. First of all - set in the cabin climate. Heated seats - a little less, blowing - is average, and a pleasant temperaturku 22. After a couple of minutes in the cabin is quite comfortable, you can remove the gloves and put his hands on the steering wheel. But his leather donut could honestly be a diameter of an inch larger: a feeling that compress your hands something fragile. But it is - a personal opinion, like just such a fellow. In addition, the steering wheel easy to use and "tides" of exactly where nado.K word: under me - "simple» Q5: it has no "cilia" on the headlights, and there is no steering column levers, automatic gearbox. But it is not necessary. The sky above golovoyProdolzhaem inspection. In the passenger seat not less convenient than driving. And the same set of elektroregulirovok, no leverage. Glove box - medium size. But there are large pockets in the doors (in the driver's pocket to hide the key opening the hatch opening.) Behind - is also quite spacious. Especially if you move the seat back until it stops. Yes, the rear seats are adjustable, and fold in the ratio 40:60. In the widest part of a cup holder armrest with dual, and if the tilt arm entirely - will dig for long-length sunroof. Of course, for the rear passengers have their own control unit klimatom.V most interior - light. Why? Because over the head - the length panoramic sunroof almost the entire roof. True, I discover it did not - not the summer. But to this subject we will return, when will teplee.Nu and now - in the luggage compartment. Its size is impressive - 540 liters. And if you recline the rear seats (completely flat floor, though it does not, but you can tilt the seat of the trunk of the key), the volume will increase almost three times - up to 1,560 liters. There is a sliding bar for fastening the longitudinal loads. All that is needed to maintain the road - under polom.Nu here, like clear. Now I can go. Well, full quattro! Handle - in position «D». Let's go! Under the wheels - the snow-covered icy ruts of the park surrounding the northern river port. From time to time rear axle slipping in the turns in the track, but immediately stopped by the demolition of electronics, and the trip computer at the moment there is a symbol of "slippery road". There are no "special regimes" do not include. At Audi Q5 - permanent four-wheel-drive quattro with self-locking center differential. I do not think that we should very much detail on the principle of his actions - we have described many times. Let me just say that in the normal torque is distributed between front and rear axles on a 40:60, but if necessary on the front axle can be transmitted up to 65% of the time, and at the rear - up to 85%. Driving over bumps - no problem, there is almost no breakdowns, even at speed. Here the secret is simple - no "Macpherson." Five-link front suspension is installed with wishbones at the top and bottom, and tubular stabilizer. Behind mnogorychazhnaya.Nu also that same time the new lands? Overcoming easily half a meter to the side of the parapet nametennogo snow, gather in a snowy field. I know that under a layer of snow dvadtsatisantimetrovym - paved. Otherwise, it probably would not risk going to such a test. Still, four-wheel drive - all wheel drive, but as you know, the farther to the virgin - the longer run the tractor, and Q5 is not counting on the status of the conqueror notebook dirt. And the tires - "Asphalt." But so far - no problems: crossover with confidence, "rows" tires, moving along a country road. Depth gauge - almost on the rapids, which is very bad if, for example, will have to drive up on the road to the uncleared suburban home, or, conversely, to escape from the hacienda to the highway after a snowfall. And now it's time for the asphalt. Make way! On the Leningrad highway, I think, at any time is tight traffic. And not a hint of a desire to give up, propustit.Nu nothing, nothing ... This is formed between the machine feet clearance at 60, the gas in the half - and full speed ahead, and without any delay! Someone in a yellow Peugeot 308, had tried to "cut", but then refused to self-destructive desires. And rightly sdelal.Voobsche, walking around the city - it's not for the faint of heart. But I was lucky: the flow never slowed down. Well, let's see ... in Q5 automatic transmission - the new 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch, and an electrohydraulic drive. This means that the automatic transmission - analog folksvagenovskoy intellectual DSG. Accordingly, no shocks or jerks when switching proishodit.Q5 no - a born "slalom". I do not respect such a manner of driving in difficult urban conditions, but then what is said, and conditions permit, and the need was. So, drive! The road is covered with a brown manure, flying from the wheels on every side, the asphalt has already formed well. Gas, steering wheel slightly to the right - and a crossover squeezed into the gap between the bus and "Gazelle", breaking free in the right lane. But a hundred yards in front - the side of the truck. Brake, steering wheel slightly to the left, in the space between two passenger car, pedal to the floor - and the open spaces of the left ryada.Davno experienced such pleasure from driving in the city! In the cabin - just smooth rumble TFSI and the purest music from the loudspeakers outside the cabin - chilled day in February. In Q5 - Excellent aerodynamics, the drag coefficient of 0.33. The designers have thought over fairing mirrors - they, like the side windows, little sprinkles dirt (by the way - the area of ??the mirrors is sufficient for optimal review). But the rear "caretaker" should operate in continuous mode: the glass cover of a second brown nalet.Dazhe not know what to call this rapid journey through the city ... Competitors I was a little bit. In one funny moment resisted the owner of an old "basin" fifth model with sports muffler, but soon gave way to all the same: two powerful xenon light stream persuaded him to take a right. ... Instead of an epilogue. As usual, we always point out the competition, which will have to fight "newbie". You can also mention the BMW X3, and a new Mercedes-Benz GLK, Infiniti EX and. But the special harakter.Nu Q5, and as to its value - 1.63 million rubles - and then it is competitive even in current difficult times. In the words of Chairman Rupert Stadler Audi AG - those who can afford a premium car from Audi, the crisis has not yet kasaetsya.I that I would like to ask ... What's next? Q3? It would be interesting.
