Irish rugby ace Garry Ringrose takes centre stage at Audi Centre Sandyford

Audi Centre Sandyford Ambassador Garry Ringrose unlocks the new Audi Q5 SE TFSI e quattro in his longstanding drive for excellence

Irish rugby player Garry Ringrose has put his best foot forward in an exciting new partnership with the Audi Centre in Sandyford, Co Dublin.

The Irish and Leinster rugby star – renowned for his quick-thinking, adaptability and resilience on and off the pitch – has just picked up the keys to unlock the premium luxury of an all-new, Audi Q5 SE TFSI e quattro which features plenty of sporty elements and a confident charisma.

Packed with powerful technology and fun to drive with generous space, Garry will be showcasing his new Audi Q5 SE TFSI e quattro journey for the rest of the year, promising to turn heads as he takes to the streets in Audi’s latest launch.

The pick-up location for the start of Ringrose’s newest journey could not be better. The Audi Centre in Sandyford has recently been named Audi Dealer of the Year for 2025 in an awards programme which recognises top performances within the Audi dealer network in Ireland.

Opened as part of a multimillion-euro investment in 2017, the centre, on Bracken Road, is also the brand’s largest and among the most impressive outlets in Ireland, providing customers with an outstanding range of new and used vehicles and aftersales support.

Audi Centre Ambassador Garry Ringrose said:

“Performance matters, which is why I’m delighted to be welcomed as ambassador for the Audi Centre in Sandyford.  It’s important to me that the car I drive helps me to be at my best – and Audi has never let me down.

The new Audi Q5 SE TFSI e quattro is a showstopper. Sleek, stylish, and strong with an aero-friendly body, it delivers a powerful, smooth drive that puts you at ease.

I’m planning plenty of road trips across Ireland this year and I’m thrilled that the Audi Centre is helping me to make more memories along the way.”

 

The state-of-the-art centre in Sandyford is home to Audi’s largest display of new and approved used Audi models and incorporates the most advanced service facility in Ireland.

Leon McSherry, Audi Centre head of business said:

“Ringrose's consistent performances and ability to make an impact on the pitch continues to keep him at the top of his game. Well known for delivering a striking impression, we’re thrilled that the new Audi Q5 SE TFSI e quattro will play a big feature in his busy lifestyle both on and off the pitch. 

For almost 10 years, Garry has championed the Audi brand which is a testament to this luxury marque’s resilience, versatility and success and we couldn’t be more delighted to be backing him on his next exciting journey.”

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. On September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) was replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regard as well. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp or https://www.audi.ie/ie/web/en/models/layer/wltp-lp/layer/nefz-wltp.html

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such times as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle. Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the guide “Information on the fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and electricity consumption of new cars”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Strasse 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany (www.dat.de).
