It’s here, and reviewers and drivers alike are falling in love. Although similar in styling to the outgoing model, the 2018 Audi Q5 rides on a lightweight new platform that brings more nimble driving characteristics, and a more potent and efficient engine. With standard Quattro with ultra all-wheel drive, leather upholstery, pre sense city and basic safety systems, and up to 60 cu-ft of cargo volume, the Q5 offers boundless value.
Behind the wheel, the Q5 splits the difference between comfortable utility and sportiness, with standard Drive Select for different driving modes. 252 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque get sent to the front wheels in normal driving conditions, but can be routed aft in a pinch if the situation calls for it. Thanks to this system, the Q5 nets up to 27 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in the city while providing prime grip. In addition to a spacious passenger cabin with 60 cu-ft max cargo volume and a 7-inch MMI display, this new crossover also boasts ambient interior lighting, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and a panoramic moon roof that’s optional on the base trim, and standard elsewhere.
With features like Virtual Cockpit and WiFi connectivity available on the base Premium, and a full assortment of Driver Assistance, Warm and Cold weather packages available on the Premium Plus and Prestige, there’s plenty of value.
