Audi released the other half of its Q5 glamour shots over the weekend. We’ve updated the gallery with all of the images we could get our hands on (you can switch to a “high-res” view with the button on the upper right corner - perfect for saving desktops). Audi also tossed in several shots from the Q5’s world introduction at the Beijing Auto Show. We always get a kick out of the designers, engineers, and executives standing around like beaming new parents. From our perspective, the Q5 looks like a typical Audi, the designs of which are beginning to lose their visual punch after having been spread across so many models.

We’re less than 12 hours away from seeing the Audi Q5 officially revealed at the Auto China Show in Beijing, and according to Süddeutsche Zeitung, Audi’s new cute ‘ute will be assembled in Changchun, in northern China. The German rag cited unspecified China-based sources for the information, but Audi isn’t answering any questions ahead of the reveal tomorrow. The Q5 is due to hit dealers in Europe later this summer and sales are expected to begin in the States towards the beginning of next year. It’s likely we’ll hear about Audi’s production plans for the Q5 during tomorrow’s press conference and you can watch the reveal live on Audi’s online media site.
