Audi Q5

"Handles like a sports car."

"Amazing performance with the diesel and excellent efficiency. 5.8 l/100 km on highway trips. S-line suspension is top-notch."

"I have the hybrid model model and like the fuel economy and power added by the electric motor, I find that the transition from electric to gas motor is harsh and very noticeable."

"Love the diesel power and drivability. Dives so nice on all road conditions, from dirt roads to high speed, we love driving it. It's is very comfortable and every thing works great except for wifi. Wifi has been replaced once and is loosing connection again. Have to keep ejecting and reinstalling chip to get it to connect. Really love the wifi when working."

"The SQ5 handles well and accelerates like a sports car. Very solid and feels safe to drive in all weather conditions."

"This is is a fun car to drive - It has a lot of 'pep' and it handles like a dream."

"Drives and handles well. Wish It had a little more power and acceleration getting on the freeway."

"excellnt"

"Diesel gives good gas mileage with good power."

"Wonderful acceleration and handling; a pleasure to drive."

"With the diesel engine, driving and accelerating are effortless. It has amazing power and fuel economy over 32MPG overall. 40MPG highway with all wheel drive. Amazing."

"The diesel engine has great pickup and it handles more like a car. I love the car but am disappointed that its emissions are a fraud."

"3.0 TDI Diesel is amazing"

"Acceleration is incredible. Very fast and capable. Great gas mileage also."

"For a 2 litre engine in a 2 tonne car it works very well. If I bought the same car again I think a slightly tighter handling setup and a bit more power would be good. Note that Audi did sell a Q5, the SQ5, with those attributes but at a fair amount more money. I am not complaining at all."

"Nimble with good acceleration"

"The car is a pleasure to drive, good response. It drives like a car, yet this is an SUV"

"Excellent"

"The torque associated with the diesel engine makes it feel more than a sports car than an SUV. Even with a loaded car, hill climbs feel like interstates."

"Acceleration uneven. Car lurches from stop or low speeds"

"Excellent acceleration -my first diesel and love it.Have driven it from Toronto to California and Florida (twice)and back with full load including bikes on the back and it never missed a beat. Hopefully domestics will offer diesels in their SUVs"

"Very good power. Expect will be lost with emission compliance resolution"

"The combination of the gas and electric motors give excellent acceleration both from a standstill and when passing and best of all we are achieving a combined city and highway average fuel consumption of 8.6 liters per 100 Km.. This average is since we purchased the vehicle in 2014 and over 47,00 KM."

"smooth ride accelerate nicely"

"Audi Q5 diesel is outstanding in performance and handling. Some turbo lag in normal driving but overall best engine I have ever owned. Mileage is outstanding at 800 km per fillip. I have also owned the 4 and 6 cylinder Q5. Nice but not exciting like the diesel.It is all about torque."

"I would buy this car again in a heartbeat- even with all the "VW cheat" drama. The TDI still has amazing get-up-and-go, gets fabulous gas mileage, sticks in the curves like a Quattro should, has not had a single service issue in the 3 years I've owned it, and is just plain fun to drive!"

"Quattro all wheel drive makes the Q5 very confident to drive in all situations and weather. Strong accretion from 2.0T, don't really need the 3.0"

"Great acceleration and very responsive steering."

"Drives like a dream except for the crappy auto start/stop which can jerk so abruptly/hard it hurts my wrist. Accelerates strongly for its size and weight."

"very frisky and corners well"

"Very responsive"

"Good on both."

"On cool/cold mornings, first shift can sometimes be rough"

"Tdi has strong linear power. Doesnt care about load or hills. Great handling if you like a stiffer tighter feel to your driving ecperience. Silly good gas mileage. Average 6.4 summer and 6.8 winter. 80 percent highway."

"This is the best vehicle I have ever owned in terms of acceleration and handling - very quick and responsive, only drawback are the softness of the brakes"

"Great handling and acceleration"

"This is the best driving car that I've ever driven."

"Very good acceleration and handling a notch above just about anything else on the market"

"Braking when stopped"

"Good pickup for SUV. Handles very well also."

"good acceleration with v6 and turbo; quattro gives solid feeling of stability and control"

"Great handling"

"great low rpm torque very satisfying (supercharged) road feel is satisfying quiet smooth acceleration feels almost electric handling is sporty for an suv"

"v6 has great acceleration; handling is good to very good"

"Handles very well for an SUV. Acceleration is smooth."

"Superior handling in all weather, fun to drive"

"Best drive feel amongst any car I have driven (BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Lexus, Infiniti)"

"The vehicle is very responsive with plenty of power."

"The Q5 3.0T has excellent pick up and is an extremely smooth ride. One negative complaint is the squeking brakes that the Audi Service states they can't fix on this model. Hard to believe since I have had three oother Audis that did not have squeaking brakes"

"Good acceleration, although less responsive after diesel fix"

"It has the power to accelerate quickly using the turbo when needed"

"Very good acceleration for a diesel. Highway miles per gallon approaches 40."

"Excellent"

"Handles incredibly well. Steering is responsive and tight and the car hugs the road. A true European driving machine."

"Excellent and smooth acceleration, easily handles even toughest corners"

"Happy with acceleration in 2.0 engine with turbo. Use sport mode for acceleration onto highway if a heavy merge. As good as previous 6 cylinder engines I have had. Handling is very good, not vague."

"Great acceleration, fuel economy (TDI) and handling"

"The torque of the 3.0L diesel engine is phenomenal. You never question your ability to accelerate. Car handles like a dream on all road and surface conditions, but a minimum of high performance A/S tires are a must to maximize comfort and drivability of this car."

"Excellent acceleration and handling"

"Ever since the emissions "fix" my Q5 TDI stalls frequently when the start/stop system restarts the car, and the car often lurches between 1600 and 2000 RPM as I accelerate through third gear. Audi doesn't seem to understand the problem and no fix has been suggested."

"see previous"

"Great acceleration for the turbo 4 cyl"

"Outstanding experience. Solidly built and handles in that quality equals a secure driving experience."

"Very nice handling"

"Very good acceleration. Massive amounts of torque. Runs down the road at highway speeds just above idle rpm. Used to run on diesel fumes until the TDI upgrade was done. Unfortunately it is a diesel and therefore and orphan vehicle."

"Acceleration, handling, and ride comfort excellent."

"TDI (diesel) provides excellent economy and performance even after the diesel update."

"Very peppy for 4 cylinder turbo"

"Drives and handles almost like a VW GTi. Drives and handles better than any other SUV I've ever driven.i"

"The drive trane and engine on this vehicle are excellent , the transition through the gears is very smooth and quiet."

"Outstanding comfort, handling and acceleration. Long road trips are very pleasant due to quite cabin and comfortable seats. As an enthusiastic driver, I love the handling. It’s not sports cars quality but close enough. Diesel torque is amazing. It has very good acceleration. Living in a mountainous state, this makes climbing steep hills a breeze."

"no complaints"

"Lots of pep. It's a fun car to drive and really handles the curves."

"Compared to even the Q5 gas powered, the Q5 diesel power has a much smoother and more comfortable and stable ride. Going around curves feels even more secure than the gas model."

"The diesel engine provides amazing torque, acceleration and fuel mileage It handles very well for an SUV."

"Wished rear seats could recline more."

"Passenger side noise over bumps. Dealer did a good job of lessening it."

"very good ride with little noise"

"Somewhat small"

"The Q5 is worth it to me purely from the ergonomics; I can drive it for long periods without feeling cramped and hurting my back. The sport seats are excellent. The car is incredibly quiet, you can hold a normal conversation at highway speeds. The engine is extremely quiet thanks to the now found to be fradulent "acoustic mode" where the injection system squirts a pre-charge of fuel to soften the diesel clatter."

"Seats are too firm for long distance driving. Very secure and comfortable for shorter distances. Electronics and the digital system controls are too busy and very distracting to use when driving."

"The seats could be more comfortable - too hard for long drives. And it could be quieter inside the car."

"Nice drive and ride. Comfortable."

"Very comfortable on long trips, quiet and fun to drive with good fuel economy"

"Never stiff after a long trip"

"The Q5 is a very comfortable vehicle to drive but at the same time handling is firm and confident. The seats are supportive and comfortable over long distances. The noise level in the cabin could be a little more quiet given the price of the vehicle."

"It is the perfect highway cruiser-no complaints."

"quite comfortable for an SUV"

"Everything! This is an unbelievably comfortable SUV. It handles every bit as well as my older BMW 3-series but add comfort and spaciousness. This Q-5 has power and performance but is also quiet and comfortable."

"Very comfortable. Good back support. Best handling car in snow and ice that I have ever owned."

"Ride is on the stiff side. Seat width needs improvement. Too small, especially in the front seats Cabin is quiet"

"Very comfortable and easy to drive"

"I am a relatively big man and the Q5 does not have a lot of leg room for me. My wife loves it and the size fits her to a tee."

"The sense of comfort and security relative to handling and the tight fit. This car reeks of quality inside and out."

"see previious"

"Seats provide excellent support and are easy to adjust. Ride is comfortable and car like."

"The seats in this car are extremely firm - They hurt our butts - Also the head rest is so high it is made for very tall people - I'm 5' 1" and my head hits the space between the seat and the head rest. Very annoying."

"I love this car its quiet, ride is wonderful."

"The car is very quiet and smooth on the highway and the ergonomics of the seats are good for a tall person like me. I can't drive Japanese cars because they are designed by and for shorter people."

"Legs fall asleep during longer drives, need ability to adjust very front of seat cushion up and down."

"Extremely comfortable seats, controls are within easy reach. Visibility is good."

"excellent seat design re size, adjustment, heat, finish fride is on firm side but excellent handling at speed cabin is quiet engine very quiet and smooth transmission is extremely smooth , shifts almost undetectable"

"Great comfort"

"For an SUV, excellent combination of ride, performance and comfort. Better than the BMW X3 and the Lexus RX350 we test drove"

"Very comfortable seats , multiple adjustments with electric controls. Ride is smooth with very little road noise Had an issue with noise (rattle) from moonroof but dealer fixed it under warranty."

"Very adjustable, firm seats"

"Brakes are lousy - noisy and not very good stopping performance. Even worse after dealer replacement of pads. Dealer service was weak - Danbury (Weeks) Audi. Rattling and noise from sunroof. Exhaust noise and rattling under and muffler."

"Ride is quiet and handling is responsive."

"Comfortable and quiet ride"

"Quiet. Smooth ride. Responsive stiff solid feel both steering and tight handling."

"The seats are more comfortable than any other car I;ve been in. I am 6'5" so most cars are too short and I have seat and roof problems. But the Audi has enough head room even with sun roof, and enough leg room, and I don't have to put the seat so far down to fit that I can no longer lean my elbow on the window sill."

"Leather seats are very comfortable and the seat position is high enough to achieve maximum vision around the entire car."

"no complaints about the way this car feels -- seats are very comfortable, esp. on long drives."

"Quiet - low road noise. Ride is very smooth and car responds well. Only complaint is the delay when stepping on accelerator before car starts to accelerate."

"Very comfortable and adjustable front seats. Quiet ride with sporty handling."

"Very quiet ride"

"The seats are very comfortable. However, the noise level when driving on freeways at over 55 mph is excessive ."

"For extended road trips, these "German" seats don't wear you out! Road noise is minimal, but depends in large part to type of tires. Ride feels like you are in control."

"The custom upholstery and the driving experience are really geat"

"Negotiated a good purchase price. Not happy with the diesel issue, and the electronics are simply not user friendly."

"Very quiet on highway,very comfortable seats for long trips. Very responsive acceleration without engine/transmission noise. Amazingly fast stops! Interior fit and finish exceptional. Learning curve for controls incl. MMI but user friendly. Amazing heat at -30 degrees (Celius),consistent temperature through entire car - no cold spots. A lot of fun to drive very good handling characteristics."

"Comfort of the seats, ability to see all areas, heated seats. Sorry I didn't pay for the next step up so I could have navigation, back-up camera, and side visibility"

"I was betrayed! I have the 3 litre TDI engine with the cheating software on it. And the car cost $72k with taxes and all, more than I spent on my first house. For a lie."

"Expensive to buy but cheap to run. Not sure what resale will be like with diesel scandal"

"TDI vehicles - angry about emission issues"

"It is pretty much a Porsche Cayenne at a $20K discount. It even has the same paddle-shifters if you want to drive it in manual mode."

"The 3.0L diesel engine is superb! The overall average of 30mpg since ownership and 35mpg hwy is more than I expected and has more than repaid my premium for the diesel engine."

"My Audi has been very reliable. It is built ell and still looks good"

"Terrible MMI control system, also these idiots do not have a dip stick to check engine oil level. Our car had a major oil leak/failure."

"The best I can say about the Audi Q5 is the quality of this vehicle. It is solid. Other than regular maintenance, I have not had any issues, either minor or major, mechanically."

"This car is the worst dealer/car maker support of any car i have ever purchased. i will never buy another audi. Zero value for the cost of this car."

"Good value for the cost at time of purchase. Under-rated SUV in my opinion."
