Audi first got its feet wet in the SUV segment in 2005 with the debut of the Q7 at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show that was launched as a 2007 model. Now Audi is rumored to have two more SUVs planed to add to their lineup.
The Q3 Cross Coupe Quattro concept (as pictured) debuted at the 2007 Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year and is expected to arrive in the U.S. in 2009 as a 2010 model. According to Motor Trend this five-door hatch only stands 63-inches tall and will be equipped with a new Audi/VW 2.0-liter TDI motor with 204-horsepower.
Sources have reported that Audi is planning to launch a mini-size SUV just around the time when Volkswagen launches its Tiguan. According to MT the Audi Q5 is expected some time late 2008 and is targeted towards BMW's X3 segment. The A5 will be built on VW's new Marrakech mini SUV platform, the same used on the Concept A in Geneva.
