We all are getting impatient about the long prevailing silence of Audi regarding the Audi Q5 SUV, which is supposedly being built on the inspiration from the Audi A5. While we all are busy scratching our heads, Audi may well be inline to answer the long pending query as it is unveiling a small crossover/SUV concept, SO7 at the Shanghai Auto Show which begins today .
Don’t take the above notion for certainty as it is only a perception, but we do know that the S07 will be powered by a TDI Engine and equipped with the Quattro platform.
Knowing that the TDI engine also powers the A5s 187 and 236hp variants and the fact that the Q5 will draw inspiration from the A5, coupled with the info that SO7 comes with a similar beast under the lid, SO7 might well be the forerunner for the Q5.
If it is the much-awaited forerunner, Mercedes-Benz GLK and the BMW X3 should pull up their socks for some hard competition, as we all know how good Audi has been in the recent past. Everything said and done, we only have to wait for one day more as the veil of the SO7 will be taken off tomorrow and I know what will be the first thing to check out when I get back to work tomorrow , what about the rest of you !
