Overview

What's New

Following last year’s comprehensive update, the Q5 receives minor tweaks for the 2022 model year. There are illuminated aluminum door sills, new wheel designs and Black Optic design packages, while the 55 TFSI e hybrid model gains sports seats and a more powerful battery.

Choosing Your Audi Q5

The Audi Q5 is available in three trims and with two engine types. The most affordable model is the 45 TFSI, costing $45,195 including destination in Premium guise. Premium Plus models start at $50,195, and Prestige can be yours from $55,895.

The awkwardly-named 55 TFSI e Plug-in Hybrid models all command a different price premium over their 45 siblings as you move through the trim levels, costing between $7,550 and $8,800 more.

Engine Choices

The standard Q5 is powered by a two-liter gas engine, generating 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. This is supplied to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, returning an EPA-estimated 23 miles per gallon city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 combined.

Engine TypeHorsepowerTorqueFuel Economy (City/Highway/Combined)
2.0 four-cylinder261 hp273 lb-ft23/28/25 MPG
2.0 hybrid362 hp369 lb-ft61 MPGe (Combined)

The plug-in hybrid unites this engine with an electric motor and a newly-upgraded 17.9 kWh battery, collectively pumping out 362 HP and 369 lb-ft through the same transmission and quattro, all-wheel drive system. There’s an electric-only range of 23 miles, with a combined fuel economy of 61 MPGe.

Passenger and Cargo Capacity

Cargo capacity for the five-seater Q5 stands at 25.8 cu ft with the rear seats in place, and 54 cu ft once they’re dropped. These figures fall slightly in models fitted with sunroofs, to 25.6 and 53.5 respectively.

Safety Features

Whichever Q5 you choose, you’ll have quattro all-wheel drive and cruise control as standard, alongside LED lights with high beam assist. A suite of driver aids includes collision mitigation technology with autonomous braking, active lane assistance, and lane change alerts, plus front and rear acoustic sensors. Premium Plus receives adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assistance and a top-view camera system, but only Prestige models benefit from a head-up display with traffic sign recognition.

Connectivity

Alongside a seven-inch driver information system, the Q5 has a 10.1-inch touchscreen controlling features like Audi’s smartphone interface, which includes support for Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay.

Premium Plus improves on this with Audi’s virtual cockpit plus system, offering a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. You’ll need Prestige trim to enjoy a 3D sound system courtesy of Bang & Olufsen, though it’s an option on Premium Plus.

Audi Q5

Q5 Premium – MSRP From $45,195

The cheapest Q5 is impressively specified, with cruise control and LED headlights alongside an auto-dimming rearview mirror. A power tailgate reveals a cabin with a three-zone climate, LED interior lighting, and walnut wooden inlays, while the leather seats are heated in the front.

The $1,100 Convenience package combines keyless entry and engine start with a heated steering wheel, driver’s seat memory, and auto-dimming power-folding outside mirrors.

Q5 Premium Plus – MSRP From $50,195

Premium Plus models ride on larger 19-inch bi-color wheels, but the main upgrades are found inside a cabin illuminated by a panoramic sunroof. Safety features include a top-view camera system and active lane-keeping, allied to adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assistance. Audi’s stylish virtual cockpit plus system also comes as standard.

Buyers in southern states may wish to spend $1,450 on the Warm Weather pack, which combines ventilated front seats with rear window sunshades, though the $1,500 Navigation pack is arguably better value. A 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D audio system produces 755 watts of sound, and costs $950.

Q5 Prestige – MSRP From $55,895

It’s debatable whether Prestige models justify their price hike over Premium Plus, but they are the only Q5 model to come with navigation as standard. A head-up display with traffic sign recognition also makes the driver’s life easier, while washers on the matrix-style LED headlights are another distinguishing feature. The front seats are ventilated, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system is fitted as standard.

There are no packs available on Prestige models.

CarsDirect Tip

If safety is paramount, Premium Plus models offer the best balance between safety and affordability. However, Premium should be quite satisfactory for most buyers.

Great choice among fierce competition. In the world of luxury compact crossovers, the Audi Q5 is a perpetual standout. Cleanly styled and elegant to the last word, this is a ride that meters out practicality with an outsized dose of refinement. It's the sort of crossover that's as comfortable to drive across the country as it to take across town.

Of course, the Audi Q5 is not alone in pairing a refined experience with crossover pragmatism. Competitors charge at the Audi from every corner: the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC offer alternative takes on the German ethos; Lexus offers its own compelling NX; even Cadillac and Lincoln are in the game with their XT5 and Corsair, respectively.

Despite such a worthy field of adversaries, the Q5 still manages to stand out. After some time behind the wheel, we found lots to like about this versatile, relatively affordable luxury crossover.

Powertrains: Sweet, spicy, and hot. The Audi Q5 is offered in three primary flavors: the base 45 TSFI, the hybridized 55 TSFI-e, and the high-performance SQ5.

Most buyers will initially gravitate to the 45 TSFI for its appealing price, and we're happy to say that some time behind the wheel won't leave you pining for the optional powertrains. You can expect 261 horsepower from the base 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which mates up to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. It's a rather odd transmission choice for something not intended to be sporty, and we did experience some shifts that weren't quite seamless. That's probably the weakest link in this otherwise competent setup.

Moving into the plug-in hybrid, the 55 TFSI-e adds a battery and electric motor to the base setup; the additional hardware boosts power to 362 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. These are pretty impressive numbers that align a so-equipped Q5 with the likes of the BMW X3 M40i and Mercedes GLC 43 AMG. Unfortunately, the range of this plug-in hybrid is limited: you'll go just 19 miles before the gas engine kicks in.

And our favorite? The pricey but fast SQ5, which boasts a hot-rodded 3.0-liter V-6 wearing a pair of turbos atop its intake. It actually makes less power than the hybrid – output is 349 horsepower – but it lacks the significant extra weight of the battery pack and electric motor. The lighter package scoots to 60 mph in under five seconds.

Being an Audi, all trims come with Quattro all-wheel drive regardless of price. Hefty controls and unflappable driving experience are also part of the deal. Handling is best on the SQ5, naturally, and decent on the lower-trim models, though the German competitors are livelier in the corners.

Comfy, roomy digs. The Q5's cabin is classic Audi, a thoughtful melding of subdued style and top-notch materials. The appointments will convince you that any premium commanded by this crossover relative to the mainstream brands is well worth it. Don't believe us? Go sit in a showroom model and flick the signal indicator or toggle the window switch. Audi sweated the small stuff, and it shows.

It's also a comfortable runabout. The front seats are most heavily bolstered on the SQ5, but lower-spec models will still provide that lateral and spinal support for everyday driving. Plenty of cushion is provided by the seat bottoms and the leather upholstery has a supple, premium feel commensurate with the rest of the vehicle.


Audi Q5

In the back, passengers can expect 38 inches of legroom, which is about right for this segment. We also noted the rear bench was more supportive than most back seats in this class, something you'll very much appreciate if you find yourself sitting second-class on a longer road trip.

Cargo space outback stands at 27 cubic feet with the seats up and 60 cubes in total. We've seen more room in other crossovers - the Cadillac XT5 and BMW X3 both hold more – but by no means is the Q5 lagging the segment. Our only qualm? The seats don't fold entirely flat. This doesn't impede usability but it can be a little annoying if you like playing Tetris with your cargo.

Tech and safety. Audi's two strong suits are safety and technology, and both are proudly on display here. We'll start with the in-car tech, which kicks things off with a pleasingly large 10.1-inch touchscreen. Most luxury crossovers are still trending in the 8.0-inch realm, so seeing Audi include the larger screen as standard equipment earns it some brownie points. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are among its key features.

If you're looking for more to play with, the Q5 also offers an optional 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster. Spoiler: this is one of the best digital dashes out there. Crisp graphics and a seamless interface make it pretty to look at and easy to use. We recommend splurging for it, even though it requires moving up to the mid-tier Premium Plus.

That's our recommended trim, not only because it unlocks that lovely cluster but also because it comes with a surround-view camera, adaptive cruise control, and active lane control. Sticking with the base model limits the active-safety kit to blind-spot monitors and parking sensors – hardly noteworthy stuff in this era.

Final word. Audi has their car-building chops down to a science: subtly stylish exteriors wrapped around finely crafted and tech-forward cabins. Compared to the more sporting BMW X3 and the glossy Mercedes GLC, it comes off as the just-right approach to German luxury.

That enables the Audi to stand out – a tough thing to do in a crowded market with this many options. If you want to quietly enjoy the latest tech in a comfortable, well-built crossover, the Q5 might be just the ticket.
