2017 Audi Q5

The Q5 proceeds to share a basic platform with the A5 coupe/convertible. Like those models, it features relatively sporty treating along with a convenient rail, tho’ the platform’s driving dynamics are dulled somewhat by the Q5’s higher height and larger size. On the other forearm, the Q5 does provide an elevated view of the road ahead along with slew of cargo space: 29.1 cubic feet with the rear seats up and 57.Three with them folded.

Despite being a car-based crossover, Audi says the Q5 still acquits itself well off-road. Its climbing capability of thirty one degrees of incline is respectable, while its overhang angle is twenty five degrees thanks to a brief front overhang. The ramp breakover angle, determined by the wheelbase, is 17.Five degrees. Ground clearance is a healthy 7.87 inches, with a fording depth of up to Nineteen.Sixty-nine inches when driving through water. Despite all that, the Q5 should not be mistaken as a hard-core off-road vehicle.

The Q5’s cabin is tastefully trimmed in high-quality materials and can be outfitted with the most latest version of Audi’s MMI infotainment system. Also available is Audi Connect, which brings in-car internet connectivity and industry-first Google Earth integration – finish with panoramic views and high-resolution 3D satellite and aerial imagery.

The Q5 can be had with three different powertrains, each of which shift through an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels via Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system.

The entry-level engine is a turbocharged Two.0-liter four-cylinder that makes two hundred twenty horsepower and two hundred fifty eight lb-ft of torque while returning twenty mpg in the city and twenty eight mpg on the highway.

Those looking for a bit more power can spec a Trio.0-liter supercharged V6, which substitutes the old Trio.2-liter unit and produces two hundred seventy two horsepower and two hundred ninety five lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is rated at Legal/26 mpg.

The diesel-burning TDI engine has been dropped from the Q5 lineup in the wake of Audi’s emissions cover-up, so efficiency-minded buyers are left with the Q5 hybrid. The drivetrain teams the standard Q5’s turbocharged Two.0-liter four-cylinder with an electrical motor to produce two hundred forty five horsepower and three hundred forty five lb-ft of torque. Mileage checks in at 24/30 mpg.

The standard Q5 is suggested in three trim levels called Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige, respectively. The Q5 Hybrid is only suggested with the Prestige trim.

Only suggested with the Two.0-liter TFSI engine, the Premium trim level brings xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, LED tail lamps, power-adjustable heated door mirrors, fog lights on both finishes, aluminum roof rails, a power tailgate, heated windshield washer nozzles, leather upholstery, eight-way adjustable front seats, a ten-speaker sound system, a black and white driver information system integrated into the instrument cluster, Bluetooth connectivity, a HomeLink transceiver, rain-sensing wipers and a SD card slot with a 32GB capacity.

Premium buyers can order a panoramic sunroof, Audi’s MMI navigation, heated front seats and rear side airbags at an extra cost.

Premium Plus is available with the Two.0-liter TFSI, and the Three.0-liter TFSI. It builds on Premium with a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, a memory function for the driver’s seat as well as keyless entry and begin. Six-cylinder Premium Plus models up the ante with headlight washers, a S Line appearance package and a three-spoke steering wheel.
