Compact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Audi Q5 Mk2 (chassis code FY / Type 80A) facelift is a compact crossover in production from 2020. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.

Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, will appreciate the approach and departure angles that the chassis offers. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi Q5 II comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners.

Reviewer score 69% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel gets a minor low-end performance boost, with power and torque now 201bhp and 295lb ft - a 14bhp increase over the outgoing model. The 0-62mph sprint is now roughly half a second quicker, at 7.6sec. Engine-off coasting at any road-legal speed and the ability to activate the start/stop function at speeds below 14mph help raise the claimed combined fuel economy to 44.8mpg.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Decent fuel economy

Cons

Mild-hybrid powertrain

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The first-generation Audi Q5 made its debut in 2008 and was the first mid-size SUV from the German brand. The second generation arrived in 2016, with a facelifted model in 2020 bringing further styling and tech tweaks. It can’t quite match the class leaders for entertaining driving dynamics, but it’s more comfortable than before and boasts enhanced refinement. The standard car is offered with either a 261bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine or a 201bhp diesel unit labelled 40 TDI quattro. Those with deeper pockets can opt for the Q5 TFSI e plug-in hybrid version.

Pros

Cheap to run
Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Lack of standard equipment

The 2021 Audi Q5 45 TFSI starts at $44,395 (including a $1,095 destination charge) for the base Premium model. The Q5 55 plug-in hybrid climbs to $52,995 at the same trim level, an $8,600 price hike. Many small improvements to the Q5's already excellent cabin tech make the complete experience much more enjoyable.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Excellent cabin tech
Excellent infotainment

Cons

Somewhat expensive for a plug-in hybrid

Reviewers from pcmag have found:

The Q5 PHEV delivers excellent fuel economy relative to its siblings. With the battery fully charged, we were able to easily achieve 20 miles of electric-only range. The latest MMI Touch infotainment system ditches Audi's conventional center console controller for a 10.1-inch touch screen that has an easy and intuitive menu.

Pros

Powerful diesel engine
Excellent fuel economy
Comfortable ride

Cons

Slightly heavier than its gas-powered siblings
