«Today you saw the big hollow hill, the tuft of trees, the brown and the blue, the houses and you said: it is as it is. How it should be. This is enough for you“. Thus, in March 1947, Cesare Pavese he entrusted his deep love for her to the pages of his diary Piedmontese Langhe. It is no coincidence that precisely in the evocative landscape of Santo Stefano Belbo, birthplace of the unforgettable writer, the road test of Audi Q5 Sportback, the new Hybrid Coupe SUV of the house of the Four Rings (from June in Italian dealerships).
On the one hand, the muscle design e the identity Q, expression of the key values of the brand such as versatility, dynamism and technology, on the other the sporting nature, with the large front air intakes on the sides of the nose and the strongly inclined pillars, as shown in tradition. On the other hand the concept Sportback, launched by Audi in 2009, it was born inspired by fastback 1960s: cars with two-volume bodywork, sloping and tapered tail, very sloping rear window e trunk included in the same “volume” as the passenger compartment.
Outside, the rear light clusters with technology OLED (customizable thanks to the three different luminous signatures), inside it affects the generous habitability (shares width and wheelbase with “sister” Q5, the best-selling in the world of the Audi high wheel family). The dashboard is also fully digital, a real virtual cockpit: al display Full HD 12.3-inch is joined by the 10.1-inch secondary touch screen, with an infotainment system with graphics clear and intuitive.
Wide range of ADAS systems: from the Collision avoid assist, which helps the driver to avoid an obstacle, all‘Audi pre sense city, which prevents collusion with other road users by activating acoustic, tactile and visual signals up to automatic braking. Safety, therefore, and a look to the future: the range, in fact, is 100% electrified (7 engines), with i thrusters mild-hybrid at 12 or 48 volts and the versioni plug-in (from 299 and 367 HP) with a 17.9 kWh battery that guarantees a range of up to zero emissions up to 62 kilometers WLTP.
We have tested the most powerful model, between vineyards and hazelnut groves, enjoying the adaptive air suspension (which allow you to vary the height from the ground on five levels) and the onboard technology (to select the most suitable answers for the route). Agile e sparkly (snaps from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.3 seconds), Audi Q5 Sportback performed well on both dirt roads in the countryside than in via towns: facing the difficult hairpin bends of the Piedmont hills, in fact, its mass is almost not felt, surprising for the reactivity.
Muscles, therefore, but also sprints. An author’s duo.
