2017 Audi Q5 Adaptive Air Suspension and Sound System Teased

It used to be the case that if you wanted the best technology possible, you needed to buy the flagship model. However, just like the E-Class comes with everything the S-Class does, so too will the Q5 be the equal of the Q7 in every way... except size.

The first video you can check out below clearly shows Adaptive Air Suspension at work. It's a feature that's very popular on the Q7, and it not only influences the way an SUV handles, but also how well it can cope with off-road situations.

The system we are familiar with has five settings: Dynamic, Auto, Comfort Offroad and Lift. The first is synonymous with Sport and will lower the vehicle. Auto checks your current driving conditions, while Comfort is pretty self-explanatory. Offroad does lift the car, but only Lift takes it to the highest possible setting.

The teaser for the sound system isn't all that telling. What are we supposed to understand from seeing a bunch of head-bobbing rockers?

But we think they want to tease the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system. When it's integrated into the A4, it consists of 19 individual speakers and a 755watt 16channel amplifier. The press release for that feature said it was able to flawlessly reproduce a multitude of music categories, which explains what's happening in the trailer.

Like most luxury speaker systems these days, it's also got a Vehicle Noise Compensation (VNC) technology. You wouldn't want a nearby taxi's engine interfering with your experience.

You can check out all the available image teasers in the adjacent gallery. However, you should know that the Q5 is only a few short days away from being revealed.
