Audi Q5

"compared to 2015 q5, more power, better acelleration. better mileage"

"The car has good pick up and handling in heavy high speed traffic."

"Very good ride,handling and acceleration. No problem excellent."

"The SUV has more power and better acceleration. It has 3 levels of handling."

"The car handles amazingly."

"It is a 4 cylinder but you are not aware"

"I feel safe and like the way it looks."

"Excellent handling and acceleration especially for a SUV. Controls are easy to master and the car is filled with safety equipment."

"Superb handling and acceleration. Acceleration impressive and the ride is very smooth and quiet. Truly a joy to drive."

"Have an SQ5, which handles wonderfully. Great acceleration, smooth and comfortable ride. HATE the fact that the ignition turns the engine off when the vehicle comes to a stop. Have to turn this off manually every time I start the vehicle."

"The acceleration and engine responsiveness are outstanding! The Audi All-Wheel Drive Quattro innovation is second to none! This, alone, could justify the cost of any Audi. The transition through the gears is so smooth, it feels effortless! My Audi Q5 is rated at 24mpg, I am consistently documenting 32mpg, my last tank was 33mpg! (Disclaimer: I have only used Shell V-Power 93-Octane fuel in this vehicle.) The turn-radius and nimbleness rival most sedans. The All-Wheel Drive System is “Best in Class,‿ and a must for winter weather and road trips."

"Excellent acceleration considering it’s a 4 cylinder. Far better than the Lexus 6cyl RX450 I previously owned."

"Adaptive Cruise Control"

"Smooth acceleration, responsive handling."

"The car has a lag between applying the accelerator pedal and actually accelerating. Very dangerous when pulling out into traffic."

"drives like a sports car"

"The acceleration and handling of this car is amazing, particularly considering the size of the engine."

"My SQ5 has a v6 turbo so the acceleration is very good, 0-60 in 5.1 seconds. The handling is also very good for a SUV."

"Extraordinary handling, acceleration, control of the vehicle, and comfort."

"I love the Quattro system. The car handles well in all types of weather."

"I was concerned about the 2.0 turbo having enough power, but we've been pleasantly surprised by the acceleration. Handling is comfortable but we'd like a bit more steering feedback. Overall, an excellent car to drive."

"Smooth acceleration. Fast and handling is superb."

"Solid! Drives and handles like a sports car. Quit and comfortable"

"Can drive it like a sports car when set to Dynamic."

"Have sporty SQ5 version. Engine accelerates powerfully and cornering is near sports car level. Excellent visibility and ride tuning capability."

"Acceleration, I can’t believe it is only a 2 liter engine. It feels like it is much larger."

"Acceleration is very good - the car is quick and highly maneuverable. Slight tendency to oversteer, but I do like the smaller steering wheel and the all-wheel drive."

"Handling is quite agile, the turbo 4 engine provides all the acceleration I need. The steering is a bit too light (not much built-in caster)."

"Very easy car to drive, feels nimble and quick, yet steady."

"Acceleration"

"acceleration and engine response is best I've had in any car"

"Strong acceleration, excellent stability"

"Vehicle German engineering at its best"

"Ok acceleration, somewhat clumsy handling for an Audi, not as sharp as it should be"

"Love the sleek look of the audi Q5 and the color utopia blue"

"Fun, engaging, feel, & confidence."

"Very good on both. Easy to handle. Small turning radius."

"From a dead stop, it is slow to engage gear to start moving. Similar issue with engaging reverse."

"Great acceleration in every situation. Pedal to the metal really moves the vehicle."

"The acceleration and handling is great. You can drive for long periods of time without getting fatigued."

"As always Audi really made you feel that stability when driving curves and responds with speed, I must impressive you are not aware how fast until you look at the dash."

"Quick acceleration and very confident handling"

"like a sports car"

"Reliable acceleration at all speeds. Well planted handling."

"Fun car to drive"

"In mountain driving, the vehicle handles curves extremely well and up hill acceleration is excellent."

"smoooth shifting acceleration is all I need for my driving"

"Excellent acceleration. Steering is just OK. Need to drive in Dynamic mode for a true Audi feel."

"Excellent handling overall, very responsive steering, excellent acceleration at all speeds, very good and responsive braking. Steering wheel is somewhat oval shaped (not round), which means that the most comfortable grip requires hands to be held at a certain angle - good for serious driving, but not quite as comfortable for just holding the wheel when on an straight and not busy interstate. Overall, driving is excellent!"

"Great acceleration, handling of curves, just an outstanding experience."

"Incrediblly fast acceleration and amazing gas mileage."

"My SQ5 thinks it is a sports car. It handles curves, and has acceleration with the tip of your foot. So fun to drive!"

"Surprisingly strong a celebration from turbo 4 cylinder. Handling is simply outstanding in all situations."

"excellant"

"Outstanding acceleration for a 4 cyl engine. Handles well in all situations with the ability to select from 3 different vehicle handling/ride modes."

"Car drives like an high end car should. Very smooth, quiet, and responsive."

"It is FAST! Acceleration is amazing, and the handling is like a sports car."

"It is an SQ5 and so it is responsive and handles well"

"The Q5 has a great drive train and accelerates well. It's also very nimble compared to my previous vehicle - a Lexus RX 400H."

"Handling is outstanding and acceleration is amazing for a 4 cylinder"

"Acceleration and handling is the best of the SUV's we have owned (Subaru, Envoy, 2 Highlanders). Responsive with good fuel mileage."

"Amazing acceleration"

"This is a SUV that drives like a car. Acceleration and handling are both exceptional."

"For a heavy vehicle (4400 lbs.), this all-wheel-drive vehicle has very good acceleration and handles more like a sedan."

"quick and easy handling"

"Excellent acceleration and handling. Balanced and secured, Quiet ride."

"Good handling. Nice tight ride. Pretty good acceleration (even with a four cylinder engine)."

"Great acceleration for a turbo 4 engine."

"Smooth, vibration frer, high speed driving"

"Quick. Handles well, especially for suv."

"Its 2 inter engine offers more than adequate power to meet my driving needs plus added fuel efficiency over larger, more powerful engines. It handles with excellent stability."

"good acceleration, tight handling"

"Quite and great audio system Great handling and exceleration"

"Powerful with sharp handling. Might have to buy another!"

"Just amazing: a feeling of total control and power on any speed and every corner."

"The adjustable air suspension that permits the vehicle to be raised or lowered transforms the SUV into a sports sedan and vice-versa. Love it!"

"The 2.0 Turbo has plenty of power, transmission shifts smoothly, handling is impressive."

"4 cylinder turbo has excellent acceleration and gas mileage"

"The car is smarter than I am"

"fun to drive, 2.0 has plenty of power and the dct transmission is ver smooth"

"I love driving the AUDI. It is fast, responsive, stops extremely well and accelerates smoothly and quietly. Interior sound level is negligible. It's a blast to drive."

"The acceleration of the Q5 is greater than I expected. In September we will put about 1500 miles on the SUV driving to CA and back to AZ. It will be the first long trip for the SUV. The handling is not as good as the Golf R, but it is adequate for an SUV. I think Audi could have done a better job of integrating 4-wheel drive with the Q5."

"quiet and responsive"

"Acceleration is amazing, especially for a SUV. 0 - 60 in 5.1 seconds. The vehicle feels very stable in corners at speed. I simply love driving this vehicle."

"Exceptional acceleration is a big advantage in driving the high altitude, steep hills on the two lane roads of our rural Colorado. Passing slow moving trucks and RV's is no longer a white-knuckle experience. Handling on twisting mountain roads is exceptional for a compact SUV, and easily adjustable from highway to modest off-road conditions with the Audi variable "Drive Select" options - a very well executed feature."

"GREAT acceleration and handling. Push on the gas, and the turbo really kicks in."

"It is fast off the line"

"The vehicle is rock solid on the road...and at various speeds from 70 to 90 mph. (Out west driving where speeds are posted higher) The ride ,handling, and MPG are all better than my previous SUV. Its these reasons I bought vehicle. Once moving SUV is very quick. Necessary when passing Big Rig Trucks on single lane roads out West. In bad weather also very stable...tho some of that depends on your tires....."

"Outstanding acceleration. Lane departure guidance system reads right side of lane, should read middle: can get pretty violent pull to one side or other depending on lane markings."

"I drive 50+ miles daily in a lot of stop and go traffic. Very glad I opted for the Prestige trim with the advanced driving technology."

"I'm pleased with the acceleration and handling of the Q5. It is larger than my last car, but still has a great feel when driving. Also, the gas mileage is exceptional."

"Overall, extremely satisfying performance for a mid-size SUV: Good acceleration Very good mileage considering power and performance Nimble handling in mountain driving"

"My SQ5 is loaded so I gave dynamic steering, optional adjustable suspension and other features that make the driving experience the equivalent of more expensive Mercedes and other luxury high performance vehicles I’ve driven. I consider it a good “bang for the buck‿ high performance vehicle choice."

"Good acceleration and braking. Handling not quite as smooth as a non-SUV."

"Easy to drive"

"Fantastic drive and handling, very comfortable."

"Fast and tight. Able to set different driving modes and you can tell the difference."

"Very quick in accelaration, handles very well on the curves and down hill speed control using the cruise control."

"Acceleration is very good and on a long trip 7.2 litres per 100 km is satisfying. Handles very well and is very comfortable with air suspension"

"Excellent control. I love the handling. Great acceleration. Just love the feel of the car."

"A wolf in sheep's clothing yet wonderful to drive around town."

"The acceleration can be a real problem in the Audi Q5. When you are moving at slow speed and need to accelerate quickly to pull into traffic there is a significant lag before the turbo kicks in. It actually feels like the car chokes and slows down before it then kicks you into your seat with almost too much acceleration. I think the car is too heavy for the 2.0T engine."

"A SUV that drives as well as my BMW. Beautiful driving experience...enjoying and loving this vehicle."

"This SUV handles and feels like a sports car. It has more than enough power."

"I like the ability tomshift drom individual to atandard. It is great offroad at my place in the country"

"Quick accretion at hiwy speeds helps when passing other cars at high speeds."

"Effortless, extremely smooth riding and quick acceleration."

"Very crisp and responsive steering, acceleration, and brakes."

"It's smooth and a perfect combination"

"Sharp responsive handling"

"Excellent acceleration and handling!"

"Its just a great vehicle. Very comfortable and very quiet."

"Quality engineering. Quiet, smooth riding and handling"

"Cooled seats could only be ordered with sport seats. The bolsters on the seats make them difficult to get in and out of."

"Quiet ride, excellent handling. Ability to adjust driving characteristics (steering feel, handling, ride firmness). Seats have side bolsters which provide a secure feel."

"It is a remarkably comfortable, quiet and stable vehicle to drive."

"Quiet, solid and smooth"

"Front seats are great, but back seats have limited adjustments"

"The seats are firm, but comfortable like a good firm mattress that reduces fatigue on long drives. I find I can drive 6 hours straight and not feel as much ‘road numbness’ I have felt with other cars. They also are heated as well as cooled which is a very nice feature on really hot days, or if your in clothing that you don’t want to sweat in."

"Very quiet smooth ride. Very good acceleration.Very comfortable for long driving.Seats comfortable. My only problem is I’m short and it is a bit too high for me reaching the ground. I have a hard time getting off. Car too high for me. I will get a Q3 next time."

"Comparing this from the 2016 model is a BIG difference. Outside noise almost gone and the seats are just perfect now even for bigger persons."

"Excellent seat comfort, ride and quietness"

"Quiet, comfortable ride."

"Comfortable and quiet with smooth ride"

"Despite being an excellent handling SUV the Q% is super comfortable and quiet on a long road trip."

"Seats are not very comfortable."

"Seat firmness and design fit my body perfectly. Good support during cornering."

"Road noise could be less"

"The warm weather package includes their standard sports seat which is firmer with high bolsters. I find it a bit too firm for comfort and harder to get in and out of car due to the higher bolster."

"Very quiet car and extremely comfortable, especially on long trips."

"1.excellent form-fitting seats w/multiple adjustments and thigh extender 2. Ride is firm but comfortable - has adaptable suspension and is easily changed to fit situation. 3. interior noise level very low for an SUV,"

"seat comfort and ride are good, compared to Subaru Outback."

"The seats are not cooled they’re only ventilated. I did not know this until after purchase. I find in ludicrous that. A $60,000 car does not have cooled seats. I have not driven the Q5 on a couple desert trips because of the lack of cooled seats."

"Smooth ride and excellent seats"

"Wide comfortable seats with adjustable thigh support. Vehicle is very quiet"

"Best seats low noise"

"The Audi Q5 would have a nearly perfect ride, if their seats were even close to the comfort of the Lincoln MKC/MLX. Never before have I purchased after-market seat cushions to provide additional padding and support. The Audi sedans have more of a cockpit structure to the seats, in which you are padded and nestled. Sadly, the Q5 lacks this."

"noise is not noticeable and ride is much better than A6 (does not have low profile tires)."

"This comment is for the Prestige trim. The ride is exceptionally quiet due to acoustic glass in the front passenger windows."

"It is not as comfortable as the A6 I wanted to bye, but the color combination I wanted could not be located in the A6. The A6 has more comfortable seating & a smoother ride. The A6 & the Q5 are equally quiet."

"Seats are very comfortable, ride is quite good and the cabin is well-insulated from outside noise."

"seats get uncomfortable after 60 minutes when the seats feel hard."

"Hard vinyl, cheap seats for luxury car. Ride to hard and noisy suspension."

"Seats are not as comfortable as other seats. Entry and exit for seats is difficult. I have the hot weather package and seats."

"not enough thigh support bolsters too high tilt wheel doesn't adjust low enough"

"Seats are very comfortable, extemely quiet interior, driving experience is very enjoyable and provides a sense of security."

"The seats comfort is great like floating in air."

"same as BMW"

"The interior is very well-done: stylish, upscale, understated. Love it."

"Very quiet on the freeway and comfortable for an SUV that handles this well."

"Like riding in a luxury sedan, very comfortable seats, quiet cabin."

"I am 6 foot and about 265 lbs. The seats are very supportive and comfortable, especially on long trips. The car is very quiet and the ride is the best."

"extremely comfortable"

"Leather seating surfaces could be softer. Some wind noise compared with Lexus LS. Panoramic sunroof nice. Rearview mirror is dark. Flexible center console storage."

"Seats, mirrors and steering column do not automatically adjust to their latest settings when you exit and reenter the vehicle. My 2015 Lexus RX350 had this convenience."

"Comfortable seats, minimal road noise. Handling is a little bumpy - esp. felt in the passenger seat."

"I have never ridden in a vehicle more comfortable that our SQ5. It is quiet, handles like a sports car and with this you can listen with the incredible sound system. Love it!"

"The seats are uncomfortable. The raised sides make it difficult to get in and out of the vehicle as you cannot just slide in and out. Also, the seats cause pressure on thighs. There seems to be too much wind noise and it is not as quiet as I would like. It seems to jerk too much when accelerating from stop."

"The seats are hard; on a long drive one has to move around to ease discomfort. I expected seats with more cushion. The noise level is very quiet, conversation is easy. The ride is great with road hugging stability."

"Quiet, smooth ride, com fortable"

"Very quiet vehicle. Seats are very comfortable and front and back are heated. Rides like a car, very comfortable."

"Very quiet, comfortable seating and excellence ride"

"Very quite and comfortable highway ride."

"I love the new contolers and technologyn. It is a big step up, from2015. I dont like the smaller compartmwnt beteen the two,front seats. It is too small"

"It is so quiet that I can play delicate classical music with soft interludes and hear all of it. Much more comfortable ride and seat than any car I have had before."

"I have the Prestige model which has extra sound proofing to reduce road noise level. The ride is good and the seats are comfortable except the seats are a bit short in support of the leg thighs."

"The seats are comfortable and fully adjustable. The ride is firm, but not too annoying. The 62K-mile-rated tires are very noisy; I prefer to drive year-round on SNOW tires."

"The seats are cross stitched napa leather which are very soft and comfortable. The road noise is hardly noticeable. The ride is a little stiff because of the sports package, but rides very nicely on the highway."

"Front seats are very supportive and comfortable, with high-grade leather. The vehicle is very quiet in the Comfort drive seating. The ride is comparable to any luxury sedan."

"Really comfortable."

"Great car for road trips. Comfortable, quiet, and excellent features in-car to make the trip pleasant."

"comfortable car for its size"

"Ride seems too rough on bumpy roads"

"It is a very comfortable ride. Very quiet and smooth. Vehicle is very responsive. Sests are comfortable."

"very quiet and responsive"

"Love the seats"

"Smooth ride with extremely comfortable seats that are easy to adjust."

"The car is very quiet. I like these seats better than the seats that I had in the 2014 Q5 model."

"comfortable seats, very quiet, smooth ride"

"The interior is extremely quiet."

"The seats are terrible for a car that cost $50,000 and is touted as wonderfully engineered. They look to be the same seats I had in a 2003 Volks. Passat I owned. They are simply too small. The width and length need to be wider and longer respectively. As for noise, vehicle is very quiet on road..Probably due to double pane glass in front windows.(Prestige model) In about 4 1/2 months of owning,I have driven about 11,000 miles...a good test I think."

"Seats are excellent, seating position just about perfect, the ride is very smooth and refined, absorbing bumps very well. Inside it is very quiet, with little road or wind noise."

"Very refined car. Considering th excellent handling, the ride is very good. Very quiet and comfortable. Easy entry, especially compared to the A6 I previously drove."

"Very smooth ride, great acceleration and has great climate control"

"It is a luxury car ride, quiet and cond comfortable on most road surfaces."

"Front driver’s seat is very narrow and digs into the underside of your leg while driving. Myself and my husband have both experienced this and neither of us have had this problem in any previously owned vehicles"

"Quiet ride. Lots of adjustment options for seat"

"Very quiet. Very comfortable ride."

"Very quiet, the ride is excellent and the seats are very comfortable."

"This is the most comfortable, quietest SUV ever. the ride quality, handling and power are all amazing."

"Excellent comfort, quality leather, quiet ride, 30 mpg on he highway, very quiet inside."

"Great SUV with a perfect balance of size, performance and quality."

"The ride is on the hard side and the sport seats are to firm"

"smooth ride very quiet"

"Ride"

"ease of entry/exit; comfort of both front and rear seats; very quiet vehicle operation."

"The vehicle has "Comfort" mode with gives me the best balance I want in terms of performance and comfort."

"the sport seats make entry to vehicle difficult"

"last vehicle had severe road noise. because I use hearing aids, the ride was not enjoyably. Could hardly hear conversations or music. Long distance rides are less fatiguing."

"The cabin is very quiet and the ride is exceptionally smooth. This is an awesome car."

"Interior is excellent, cabin is ultra quiet, the stop start system is seamless and the vehicle itself is a work of art."

"Extremely quiet interior. Front seats could use more thigh support but otherwise are comfortable."

"Beware of the particular new luxury car family owned dealership in Ct. that I purchased my Q 5 from. Their marketing says "Driven by Trust". I'm convinced that the "new" car I paid almost $50,000 for just three weeks ago does NOT qualify as "new". I have documented about six reasons I believe the car should not qualify as "new"! I've had one meeting with them and will be having more. I would be very willing to talk (phone or in person) with a CR Survey employee regarding my purchase experience since I bought the car ..6/29/2018. A couple good points but more very serious bad points. Carl Welshman 860-933-2810 Danielson, Connecticut resident."

"Fantastic deal at dealer- COSTCO 1400.00 under invoice, plus 500.00 off first responder discount on a car that already is competitively priced"

"It's a joy to drive once you get used to all the alert sounds and understand what they mean. I believe I received a good value but I wish the owners manual were easier to understand as well as the navigation system. I know I got a lot for my money but still can't figure out how to use some functions"

"Value for the money reliability"

"High quality, but you pay for it."

"Amazing vehicle. Excellent gas mileage for a SUV."

"Vehicles interior and exterior are beautiful, quality crafted … very solidly constructed. Very well thought out, blinds on the rear windows, huge sunroof with a controllable canopy. The vehicles performance and handling are exceptional. Basically, in an electronic safety bubble, side assist, autobraking front and rear to avoid collisions, adaptive cruise control, hands free calling, messaging. Too many features to list … my personal favorites are the Google maps and heads up display, especially when using navigation feature."

"Received an excellent price for the vehicle."

"The quality, comfort, reliability, functionality, and good looks of the Q5 really cannot be beat at this price point."

"We previously drove Mercedes SUVs for over a decade, but we switched to Audi this year. The Audi was a more solid vehicle, had better styling, and was much more exciting to drive, all for a significantly lower lease cost than the Mercedes."

"We drive over the Cascades in the winter and appreciate the comfort, handling and safety the Audi offers."

"Based on competing models, Audi Is the best value in terms of quality, features, styling, etc"

"Based on what I read in Audi literature and discussions with sales, I thought the MMI was giving me google maps and navigation. It turns out that the google maps are only google earth renderings—the regular maps you navigate from aren’t google. Most disturbing though is that the traffic is t google either—it’s some relic traffic from years ago and, in practice, it’s terrible. After using it for two weeks and getting into multiple traffic jams google and Apple maps spotted, I abandoned it altogether. That great map in the drivers console is useless. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have bought the car."

"Best price point with standard features that you pay extra for in the same segment"

"Great solid feel and excellent safety technology. There are less expensive alternatives that are almost as good"

"I don't think the vehicle is worth the price we paid- just plain overpriced! I also don't think their customer service area amenities are in a par with other luxury cars of the same class."

"Great vehicle with lots of features."

"2o18 audi q5 prestige with driver assist pkg, warm weather and cold weather pkg, stop and go traffic pkg"

"At the price point there isn't a better suv available."

"expensive, but compared to similar class of vehicles it was a better value all around"
