OK, I was not going to mentioned this but when you said that the NX sells more units than the Q5, I thought that I would say this. We have an NX and we are not impressed after owning several German cars. The only reason why we bougth the NX was due to the proximity of the dealership. A tiguan is much better and I am sure the Q5 is to. The NX rides like a truck did 50 years ago and the design is not practical. The engine however is great but the NX is not even a near luxury vehicle.
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
After thousands of miles driven, mostly surface roads, I can average 22.5 MPG. highway cruising can get you up above 30 MPG. Re: banging knees. On Prestige model, the kneel protection upgrades to leather so it’s a bit softer.
I have a '16 Q5, and I've driven '18. Major step down in interior. Audi service and customer support is abysmal. The interior layout in '18 is major step down. And the electronics interfaces are kludgy at best.
you don't actually talk about your driving experience but the features , packages ,anybody can find that in a website, please just talk about how does it drive to you,
Way too many things missing in the mid line model. I wouldn't be buying an Audi to get the pauper model like I did with my previous Range Rover. Too little for too much. Spending high 50's for the top model puts this out of its segment Im sorry to say. I'm back to the much better Mazda CX-9. May not seem like a comparable vehicle but you get so much more for the money and a great handling vehicle with much more room and much more luxury features for a lot less money.
I looked at the RDX and it is much smaller than the Q5 so it would be more in line with the Q3. The sales on the RDX may be higher than the Q5 however it is not in the same class of SUV's
this car burns 1qt of oil every 500 miles, called audi usa and they know and acknowledge the fact that is defected but they will only cover half of the problem if you willing to fix it. districted manager told me that if it was me I would just continue adding oil. never again Audi
I absolutely hate my 2019 Q5 quattro system. The quattro system fails every time when driving on snow and ice. So I drive it in off-road mode during winter and comfort mode in Summer. These cars are never meant for Canadian road conditions. I'll never buy an Audi again. It isn't a premium car anymore. I wish they go back to the Torsen differential and ditch Haldex. Stay away from quattro system, Canadians. It's not a full time AWD car anymore.
Look, you tell Audi, if they throw out the plastic radiator, I might consider the Q5... Otherwise, I will buy a Lincoln. Audi has about 5 days from now, to reply.....
I honestly would prefer the Mazda CX5 over this. If only the CX5 had a powerful engine option. This car is expensive as does nothing to provoke desire or want. Mazda did it better
Lol, we should be able to radio in for a drone strike to destroy those drivers like the one you described! The roads could always use one less poorly skilled driver.
I am going to stop watching You Tube auto reviews. These are all promotional videos without any truthfulness at all. This review is especially boring and full of crap! No mentioning of how the door cup/map pockets were changed to a point of uselessness. The MMI LCD screen is mounted on the dash not in the dashboard. Sloppy work for a 50,000 dollar car. No mention of this car being built in Mexico... then why is it so damn expensive.
I´ve had a new Q5 for over a month...... so far, very happy with it.......
NIce review but the background music was a bit of torture..no need for it.

Am I missing it or is remote start not an option with the Q5?
Excellent Review and comfortable background music !
Very well detail car test, you explain everything from pricing to the most you can receive with the premium package. Thanks car gurus!

@Titus Gage instablaster =)
$82,878 drive away price in Australia without any options. Optioned up would be close to $100k
Hmmm . move to the US... $48k to $49K off of the $52k MSRP. Mine will be delivered next week
I appreciate the review of this particular Audi, Chris, and your candor. In general, Audi's are a very pleasant driving experience.
David Wolf while I fully agree with your statement I feel like that could be said for much less costly options in This segment
After thousands of miles driven, mostly surface roads, I can average 22.5 MPG. highway cruising can get you up above 30 MPG.
Re: banging knees. On Prestige model, the kneel protection upgrades to leather so it’s a bit softer.
You must have a heavy foot! My Dad's Q5 long-term averages about 25-28 in slower driving, and up to 33 on the highway!
Chris, you test a lot of Audi's :)!
I have a '16 Q5, and I've driven '18. Major step down in interior. Audi service and customer support is abysmal. The interior layout in '18 is major step down. And the electronics interfaces are kludgy at best.
Mark Keenan well you have to justify not getting the new model 😂
You need to buy a Subaru-used
Alway appreciate your reviews!
you don't actually talk about your driving experience but the features , packages ,anybody can find that in a website, please just talk about how does it drive to you,
beautiful and good value too
Great Review Chris.
I love Audi so much💕💕
I have a 2012 looking to get a new one. I’d get a Q3 but they don’t have apple CarPlay. Come on Audi get your shit together!!!!
I watch a lot of review and you sir are the best.
Really like the electronics, handling and engine. But the exterior of this and most other Audi's leaves me cold.
Great great great review......
The Base Model of this and other German Cars is that they come with ZERO options .

The RDX is not much smaller than the Q5. It actually has more cargo room.
The Q3 is tiny by comparison
It’s not smaller. Actually much bigger In leg room and cargo.
Dude, I can't recognize you with that jacket on you
Let me guess....you're a half-empty kind of guy !?
No, you are alone. If you can't see the difference, you may need some serious glasses, or you're legally blind.
Can’t stand the pop up navigation display .
Background music sounds from a 70s porn movie
How would you know that?
It does! Well, so a friend told me

Blake Swan ewww mazda 🤢🤢🤢
CX-5 is getting a belated 2.0T diesel engine but the 2.5T offered outside the NA may not be available to protect the CX-9 sales.
jajajaja you are crazy ............ mazda 🤮 AUDI 👍
Overpriced, almost $50,000 just to get navigation.
Lol, we should be able to radio in for a drone strike to destroy those drivers like the one you described!

Fake exhausts is a deal breaker for me

Looks hideous
hecho in mehico...yikes
S Tea - Yep so much for a German car! Not even made in America... this Audi shit is just cheating gullible and not so gullible American public...
They make them on Mexico to reduce price of shipping yet they are still being sold for the same price as an Audi that was made in Germany :/
Go Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee...get real 4x4 capability with now legacy Daimler engineering attributes.
