    @vervaekej 7 років тому +4

    I got the chance to testdrive a Q5 today (190hp, S-line, air suspension) : it really is a top car, a big step forward after the first generation - even if the exterior makes you doubt that. I will not order the air suspension myself, as I am pretty happy with a stiff s-line setup. And also : I am not sure about the 'technology pack' : the google map viewing is pretty neat, but I don't think it is very practical in day today life ...
    Thks vm for your reviews, enjoying all of them - keep it up !

    Great review as always Thomas.
    Now for everyone complaining about Audi's being built in Mexico. All German car manufacturers are moving to Mexico for cheaper labor. Check this out:
    BMW de Mexico has two production facilities in Lerma, Toluca, Mexico State.[3][4] In one, the company manufactures BMW motorcycles, and in the second, the company manufactures the BMW 3 series,[5] BMW 5 series,[6] BMW 7 series[7] and BMW X5.[8]
    The joint effort between Daimler AG and Nissan Motor Co. to build cars
    over a shared platform is still under review, even when the US$ 1
    billion plant they build together in Aguascalientes, Mexico, is
    scheduled to start rolling out Nissan’s Infiniti luxury models this year
    and Mercedes-Benz compact vehicles will follow in 2018.
    PS If things keep up like this, we all may have to move to Mexico...

  • @hnonline111
    @hnonline111 7 років тому +18

    Why all the negativity in the comments? To me, this car is a great-looking point-to-point transporter for people that like simplicity and do not want their car to go out of style in a couple of years. Hence, evolution, not revolution in design.
    Compare the 911 from 1964 and the 991.2 gen of this year - yes, they look extremely similar, although more than 40 years have passed between them. Q5 is not an icon, I get it, but there are many people that like conservative looks and evolution. Just a thought.

    • @kraenk12
      @kraenk12 7 років тому

      Just like the Q7 it looks strange on photos...I'm sure just like the Q7 it will look great on the road.

    • @hnonline111
      @hnonline111 7 років тому +2

      I have to agree with you here - I do not understand why this is, but all new Audis just look strange on photos. I testdrove the new S5 and looked 100% better in person.

    • @jzy0104

    Hey Thomas, fantastic review as always I must tell you that I really like the fit and finish of the new Audi cars. My 2017 A4 just seems so solid, planted and quiet that every time I step into the car its like the first. IMHO no other manufacturer does it quite so well in this day and age, the conservative styling and evolutionary design also ensures reliability with very minor updates to components from one generation to next.

  • @danI43541
    @danI43541 7 років тому +2

    Hm I really like the new B9-gen Audis! The A4 Avant looks really classy, looking forward to the RS4
    And talking about the diesels... I think it is really hard to "remove" them from the German market.. many manufacturers don't have good petrol options and the second hand premium market if filled with diesels etc .. so it'll take some time.. taking Q5.. why would I get the 252hp, more expensive petrol than the 190/163 diesel.. if they'd offer the 2.0T with 190hp (that they have removed from the A4 lineup, why ever, the 1.4 is meh) and maybe even FWD, manual it would be a really great and cheap and attractive variant..

    I am indifferent about leather seats--I think high grade leatherette is as good and as comfortable if you like the leather feel; cloth is my preference for comfort but it is usually unavailable in higher trims. But hard plastic on my premium SUV where I will probably rest my arm is pretty much a deal killer. I do not know much about the manufacture of cars, but how much more could the an even slightly better material be? (For the record, I drive a GTI, so this car would be out of my range anyway....)

    I feel a bit of a double standard occuring here with this Audi. If it were any other car, the interior would be chastised as plasticky and cheap, yet because "it's an Audi", the press insists it is "minimalist" and "well designed". Hmm.... Nothing against Autogefuhl though, I love this channel.

    Sadly audi wants to make more money building this car in mexico while price for this car is still very high.
    This is not good reputation for audi. Review itself is nice but car doesnt look appealing. Build quality doesnt look good also. Hard plastic for that high trim level?

    😂 "Animal skin" 8:34

    • @autogefuehl
      @autogefuehl  7 років тому +3

      Thank you for taking interest in this very important topic!
      At Autogefühl, we have already received several thousands (!) comments, messages and mails that more and more people want to combine enjoying their car with reducing the environmental impact at the same time. We strongly believe that sustainable luxury is possible or at least we should do everything to support that. Those many thousand people confirming this trend, motivate us to give you the most authentic information and background on the product parts. It is not about what you bought in the past, but what you decide in the future and what you decide and influence as a customer. So we want you to have all information that you need for a decision you later enjoy and like best yourself.
      Check out our special video addressing car CEOs as a first summary and also see conditions of animal skin production:
      ua-cam.com/video/LNSUzZXzpdc/v-deo.html
      List of practical reasons against animal skin seats:
      1. animal skin seats are often an expensive option, by going for base trim level seats you can save a lot of money and get a better price-performance-deal (often the manufacturers claim that animal leather is top of luxury because they can earn the best money with it)
      2. animal skin seats get hot in summer and you stick to the seat
      3. they are cold in winter
      4. on cloth or microfibre surfaces, you basically don’t need seat heating nor cooling
      5. animal skin seats wear out very fast and look like granny’s old sofa
      6. if you want leather look (because visually it sure can look very nice!) or need seats that can be wiped clean easier, the leatherette (faux leather) surfaces are meanwhile highly evolved and it is possible that it feels even softer and better than anything else (See our Tesla Model X review ua-cam.com/video/y2wNGFKa4M0/v-deo.html) So Tesla shows that the discussion, whether you need animal skin is basically done.
      7. More manufacturer names for their good alternatives: Mercedes MBTex/Artico for leatherette, Dinamica for microfibre. BMW Sensatec, Toyota Sof-Tex, Lexus Nu-Luxe (all faux leather)
      To the environmental reasons:
      1. The way the cows are held are catastrophic (see videos below)
      2. The factory farming industry can be accounted for 50 % of climate emissions and thus is the number one reason for climate change and environmental destruction. It is the number one reason for deforestation, two thirds of all agricultural land on earth is used for animal food crops. If you would feed humans directly by using the land, you could produce much more food for everyone. See this interesting essay for more on climate emissions background: www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf
      3. So it is not only cows that are suffering, but also the environment and to a big part also humans. Think of slavery-like working conditions in slaughterhouses (there are plenty of documentaries about this) or think of chemically altered drinking water in animal skin production villages as also seen in the video footage.
      4. The discussion, for which body part the cow is killed first, is very patronizing. But if you really think it would be important why someone gets killed: There are many productions where the cow is killed for the skin first, sometimes even while still being (part-)alive, the skin is the most profitable single part of the body.
      5. So even if a cow gets theoretically killed for meat first, you give additional money to an industry that relies on killing, pollutes the environment and harms people with chemicals. Let's say you are standing at the meat counter. And you ask for the leg of the cow. The butcher tells you: "You can eat that without worrying, the cow was slaughtered for the neck first". The next customer demands the neck. The butcher tells him: "It's not your fault, the cow was slaughtered for the belly". A the next customer demands the hide, what answer does he get? You see, that argument of "byproduct" comes from the meat and leather industry to cover up that you contribute to killing no matter which part of the body you buy.
      6. To the often said argument, animal skin would just be a byproduct, please google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. A good overview on all those issues can also be found here: adaptt.org/
      More special video episodes:
      1. A initial special video from Autogefühl considering the use of leather can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/8f91KgbVbJQ/v-deo.html
      2. And another one right here: ua-cam.com/video/tMNgcLE0LDU/v-deo.html
      3. Furthermore, you’ll find the footage of leather production also here, where people are walking in chemicals etc. and animals have to watch their friends being slaughtered in front of their eyes: ua-cam.com/video/JipYvuDsI6s/v-deo.html
      timecode starting 27:46
      4. This is another video which very well summarizes the torture of leather production, shots taken at big farms which directly produce for the automotive industry: ua-cam.com/video/OgHs239bAnE/v-deo.html
      5. Please note that those videos are made by well-known journalists and cameramen who were not influenced by any animal welfare organisation, they supply their footage to the animal rights groups of course. I partly know the creators of the video footage personally and they are all authentic. You don’t have to search long to find cruel production environments anyway.
      Manufacturers reactions:
      We started the very first inquiry years ago, with the result that car manufacturers do not reveal their sources of animal skin AT ALL. If it all would be clean and happening without harm, why don’t they show it to us whereas they are showing us every other detail of their products? They have good reason not to, because there is no such thing as a clean animal skin production without harming cows, humans and the environment. The only thing a manufacturer can do is increase their effort for a better future, and we are helping with in-depth talks and interviews by presenting the increasing customer demand for sustainable luxury.
      So meanwhile, we more often also get feedback that a lot of manufacturers are working on leather-free interiors and are aware of the situation. However, much has to be done still and the Autogefuehl community is massively helping in boosting the positive change!
      Help to raise awareness on this subject. Thanks!

    @etc-and-more 7 років тому

    Ever hear the expression "over the top"? Well, this design is definitely "under the top". Way too boring in style and that diesel engine sounds like one of those old European taxi cabs, I will anxiously await your SQ5 review to see if they "spiced" it up a little.
    Also, what is with Audi and leather? Here in the US I cannot buy an Audi unless it has leather.
    Mercedes' mb-tex, BMW's sensatex are extremely well wearing and fantasic to sit on. Does Audi have something similar in the European market that they are holding back from North America?

    • @autogefuehl
      @autogefuehl  7 років тому +3

      No they dont. You can get fabric seats for some of the models with the very base trim, but that's about it. Indeed they somehow seem to have a fetish for animal skin

      broadwayblue222 nope, go watch reviews of it, its as comfy as the Q5 if not more, both SUVs are not meant to be sporty because why would a family man want a sporty driving in a family SUV so he will lose comfort i just don't understand the F pace, why would i want a SUV that is sporty when it loses comfort, its a F**** SUV they are made to be comfortable, spacious, safe and practical.

      xc60 is a bit more expensive than q5 (though not as much as a range rover), less tech than q5, heavier, etc, its not a bad car but not as good as q5. your comment about people not wanting family sporty cars makes no sense, the market has been showing otherwise for years

    Thomas, I see what you mean about the animal skins. I can imagine ancient people using animal skin to clothe themselves etc. However we are not ancient people. With all the technology available to modern day man, we are able to manufacture animal skin substitutes, so we don't have to sit on a dead cow when we get into our vehicle.
