What's New for 2018

The Q5 has been totally redesigned.

Choosing Your Audi Q5

The new Q5 is fractionally larger in all directions, resulting in more rear leg room and a few extra cubes of cargo space. With the rear seat folded, the Q5 now holds up to 60.1 cubic feet of groceries and gear, a proper showing for a compact crossover.

The carryover turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 252 horsepower and 272 ft-lb of torque. The Q5's standard all-wheel drive system can now transfer up to 100 percent of power to the front or rear wheels. All models use a seven-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles.

As before, the Q5 comes in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims:

Audi Q5

Premium

Priced from $42,475 including $975 destination charge, the Premium comes with leather upholstery, power front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, automatic wipers, a rearview camera, and forward collision warning with auto emergency braking. Audi's MMI infotainment interface features HD radio and full smartphone integration, and works alongside a 10-speaker audio system. LED taillights and running lights are standard, as are roof rails and 18-inch wheels (19-inch available for $800). The $900 Convenience Package tacks on keyless ignition, satellite radio, power-folding side mirrors, and driver memory. The Navigation and Telematics Package provides a full suite of remote serves (known as Audi Connect), Audi's beautiful all-digital instrument cluster, and a navigation function for the infotainments system for $3,000. Individual options include heated front seats ($500) and a panoramic sunroof $1,450).

Audi Q5

Premium Plus

Adds most of the Premium's options as standard, plus blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, LED headlights, and front and rear parking sensors. The Premium Plus starts at $46,475. Optional extras include a $500 Cold Weather Package (heated rear seats and steering wheel) and a $1,450 Warm Weather Package (ventilated front seats and rear sun shades). Navigation remains optional, along with 19- or 20-inch ($1,600) wheels. Finally, Audi offers a Bang & Olufsen surround-sound system for $950.

Audi Q5

Prestige

For $51,1775, the Prestige adds everything available on the two lesser trims trims, except the Cold Weather Package and Warm Weather Package, which remain optional. Other standard equipment includes surround-view cameras, a head-up display, and acoustic front glass. For a sharper ride and smoother handling, the Prestige is available with an adaptive suspension system for $1,000.

CarsDirect Tip

The Premium Plus provides all the customary equipment for this class, liked a panoramic sunroof and blind spot monitoring, while staying well below the $50,000 threshold. That makes it the most sensible choice in our view.

Compact luxury crossover SUVs – the body style of choice for many new vehicle shoppers – present an affordable gateway to a brand. The all-new 2018 Audi Q5 supplies room for five and delivers standard all-wheel drive, excellent ride quality, and leading-edge technologies.

There are three trims available with the 2018 Audi Q5, with prices ranging from reasonable to expensive: Premium, Premium Plus, and Platinum. You’ll find there’s ample room for customization with all three. We chose the Premium Plus with a starting price of $46,475 (prices include the $975 destination charge) as our “best value.”

With this trim, you gain full LED headlights and LED accent lights, heated and power-folding side mirrors, a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade, a hands-free liftgate, front and rear parking assist, and heated front seats. Driver-assist features include rear cross-traffic alert, side assist, and vehicle exit assist.

Handsome looks, comfortable seating for four adults, and customization options make the 2018 Audi Q5 an attractive and modern option in this crowded segment.
