Audi Q5L spotted in China

The Ingolstadt based German car manufacturer, Audi, was seen testing the longer version of their crossover, the Q5. The test mule spied in China is speculated to be dubbed as the Audi Q5L.

In spite of wearing a camouflage, the test mule revealed an elongated rear door. The length of this rear door is evidently longer than the one on the standard variant. The upcoming Audi Q5L is also expected to have a longer wheel base than the current standard car on sale which has a wheel base of 2820mm. The stretched wheel base will result in a roomier cabin with more legroom for the occupants of the rear seat.

Apart from the elongated wheel base, the Q5L is expected to stay identical to the standard Q5 with similar styling on the front as well as the rear. The source of power for the stretched crossover is expected to be the same with a 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 252bhp and a 2.0-litre diesel motor producing up to 174bhp.

The Q5L is expected to launch after the facelift Audi Q5 hits the market. Post its launch the car will rival against the Mercedes GLC, BMW X3 and the Range Rover Evoque.
