In 2020, Audi introduced the mid-range SUV, the Q5 Sportback. Now the German manufacturer has launched the second generation of this model, which brings a more sporty design, better aerodynamics and more space in the cabin.

Compared to its predecessor, the new generation Q5 Sportback has a more dynamic sloping roof line. The singleframe grill is placed a little higher, and below it are large intakes with sensors. The design of the rear part has also been refreshed with a recognizable edge on the trunk lid, a diffuser integrated into the raised bumpers, digital OLED rear lights of the second generation and a new projection light in the spoiler above the rear window. The S model has twin round tailpipes with a brushed design.

The Q5 Sportback is built on the PPC (Premium Platform Combustion) platform it shares with the Q5 and A5 models. European buyers will be able to choose between three engine options. The first option is a 2.0 TFSI engine with 204 hp (150 kW) and 250 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque and FWD. Quattro all-wheel drive is available as an option. The second option is a 2.0 TDI engine with 204 hp (150 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque and quattro all-wheel drive. The most powerful version of the SQ5 is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-L TFSI V6 engine with 367 hp (270 kW) and 405 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via the S tronic 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The new Toyota Celica will be an EV

In 1970, Toyota launched the Celica, which was produced in seven generations until 2006. 18 years later, Toyota is bringing back the Celica, but as an all-electric car.

“We are working on the Celica. There are many people in the company who are eagerly awaiting the Toyota Celica. I wonder if it is okay to say this in public, but we are building a new Toyota Celica,” said Nakajima.

There is not much information about the car’s specifications yet. Some rumors say that the new Toyota Celica could be based on the Toyota FT-Se Concept, which was speculated to become the new electric Toyota MR2.

More information will be released soon.
