First Impressions: Quiet Confidence

The Q5 carries Audi's conservative elegance with taut surfaces, a broad single-frame grille and a stance that reads more premium than flashy. At about 4,717 mm long the SUV sits in the compact premium class and looks substantial without being oversized. The current lineup spans plug‑in hybrids, petrol and diesel mild‑hybrids and a sportier SQ5, available in both standard and Sportback silhouettes for buyers who want more character.

Cabin Feel: Premium Without Pretence

Inside the Q5 feels familiar Audi: high-quality materials, tightly assembled panels and comfortable ergonomics that prioritise usability over gimmicks. The driver benefits from clear digital instruments and a logical MMI interface, while optional upgrades add larger touchscreens and a rich audio system for long journeys. A plug‑in hybrid battery of about 20.7 kWh is packaged low in the floor to preserve passenger space and keep the cabin layout unaffected.

Everyday Space: Practical and Uncomplicated

Practicality sits near the top of the list with five genuine seats and a boot around 438 litres, expanding to well over a thousand litres with the rear seats folded for weekend gear. Rear legroom and headroom are generous for the segment, making school runs and motorway miles easy rather than cramped. Payload capability around roughly 500 kg plus useful roof and tow options keep the Q5 versatile for family duties and active lifestyles.

On the Road: Calm, Capable, and Predictable

The chassis balances comfort and control: compliant on rough surfaces yet composed through corners, with Audi's quattro systems available where grip matters most. Powertrains range from mild‑hybrid 2.0 engines at roughly 204 hp to plug‑in setups delivering 299–367 hp, while the SQ5 V6 pushes performance into genuinely sporty territory. That translates to brisk real‑world acceleration—plug‑in versions can reach 0–100 km/h in the mid‑5 to 6 second bracket, while standard petrol and diesel models are more relaxed but still responsive.

@ Audi AG

Running Costs: Electric Convenience and Real-World Use

Efficiency depends on configuration: plug‑in hybrids can show WLTP consumption as low as 2.5–2.6 L/100 km thanks to an electric range of roughly 92–100 km, while MHEV petrol and diesel variants typically sit around 6–7 L/100 km and the SQ5 nearer 8.2–8.3 L/100 km. In everyday use the PHEV is ideal for short commutes on electric power, but longer trips will rely on the combustion engine and raise fuel use. Manufacturer figures are useful planning guides, yet real consumption rises with heavier loads, higher speeds and infrequent charging.

@ Audi AG

Tech & Safety: Mature, Not Gimmicky

Audi's assistance suite is mature rather than headline‑grabbing, offering adaptive cruise, lane keeping and traffic jam assist that perform smoothly at motorway speeds. Infotainment centres on the MMI touchscreen and the Audi virtual cockpit, which present information clearly though menus can feel dense until familiarised. Connectivity is comprehensive with smartphone integration and navigation that benefits from optional real‑time services and over‑the‑air updates where available.

@ Audi AG

Who Should Buy This: A Balanced Premium Choice

The Q5 suits buyers seeking a premium, practical compact SUV with a restrained design and a high‑quality cabin rather than an ostentatious image statement. Plug‑in hybrids will attract urban commuters wanting daily electric driving, MHEV variants suit those prioritising simplicity and economy, and the SQ5 targets drivers after strong performance with usable everyday manners. Overall it is a safe, well‑rounded choice for families and professionals who value refinement, technology and a capable all‑rounder.
