Volkswagen Group MLB platform
Audi's MLP (Modular Longitudinal Platform) technology will form the basis of not only the 2009 A4 and A5, but the also soon-to-be-revealed Q5 crossover SUV, next-generation A6, the upcoming A7 and even the next A8. MLP allows Audi to place the engine and transmission further back behind the axle and helps stretch the wheelbase without lengthing the car's exterior dimensions. Less front overhang means the 2009 A4 will be less front-heavy than its predecessor, a problem which has dogged most Audis for some time.
