Audi gets deeper into SUV game



Audi is to get further into the SUV business with the production of a Q5 in 2008, and the company is also considering production on an entry-level model dubbed the Q3 (an idea of which is pictured above).

Head of concept development Ulrich Hackenberg has confirmed the Q5, which will be based on the A4 architecture and will target the BMW X3 as its prime competitor.

A Q3 will likely be a companion to a Golf-based SUV planned by parent company VW for debut next year.
