It really looks the same as the outgoing model. I reckon they could have called it the Audi Q5 2016.5
 
Sometimes if something ain't broke, it doesn't need fixing. In this case, the A5s styling didn't require a revolutionationary design change. They cleaned up the lines a bit, which IMHO, has made a huge difference in keeping it modern. Think it looks great.
 
Here's how much the new Audi Q5 will cost in SA...

The second-generation Audi Q5 was revealed in Paris in September last year, and is now set to launch in South Africa. We’ve managed to learn pricing for the local range, which comprises seven derivatives at launch.

Going up against the likes of the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Jaguar F-Pace, the local Q5 line-up will feature three engines and three trim levels. Six of the seven variants feature a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission as standard (the SQ5 gets an eight-speed torque converter), while all seven come with quattro all-wheel drive.

The range kicks off with the 2,0TDI quattro derivative, which is powered by the Volkswagen Group’s 2,0-litre turbodiesel four-cylinder engine. In this application, the oil-burner churns out 140 kW and 400 N.m, allowing a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 7,9 seconds and a claimed average fuel consumption of 4,9 L/100 km.

The 2,0TFSI quattro, meanwhile, uses the German brand’s 2,0-litre turbocharged petrol four-pot, which sends 185 kW and 370 N.m to all four corners. Audi claims a 6,3-second sprint to three figures for this powertrain, along with a combined fuel economy of 6,8 L/100 km.

Both engines can furthermore be had in “sport” and “S line sports” specification, which adds styling tweaks and a smattering of extra standard equipment (such as larger alloys and LED headlamps). Full specifications will be available at launch.

The flagship SQ5, meanwhile, makes use of a 3,0-litre turbocharged V6 petrol engine, churning out 260 kW and 500 N.m. This translates to a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 5,4 seconds.
