With its handsome styling, advanced amenities, and plush yet practical accommodations, the Audi Q5 is a compelling entry in the premium compact crossover class. It offers roomy seating, flexible cargo capacity, and engaging driving dynamics in a city-friendly form factor. It also boasts the added utility of one of the segment's highest max tow ratings. The Audi Q5 represents an appealing selection for discerning drivers seeking a versatile and luxurious daily driver without imposing space requirements. And shoppers from Richmond to Frankfort can find it here at Audi of Lexington.

Performance

The Audi Q5 45 TFSI powerplant draws internal motivation from a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine making 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch keeps power in the optimal rev range with quick and smooth gear shifts. And Audi's advanced quattro® all-wheel-drive system provides sure-footed confidence in all seasons.

Are you seeking something more energetic and efficient to power your Georgetown commute? The 55 TFSI e plug-in hybrid pairs the turbo-four with an electric motor and 17.9-kWh battery, producing 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque and achieving an EPA-estimated 23 miles of electric-only range.

Accommodations and Practicality

The Audi Q5's classy and capacious cabin provides a pleasant place to pass the miles, with ample passenger accommodations, attractive styling details, and intuitive controls. The seats offer a superb blend of comfort and support for long-distance travels. And numerous experience-enhancing amenities are standard equipment, like three-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, leather upholstery, and a power liftgate.

Behind the rear seats, the Audi Q5 reserves 26 cubic feet to carry your groceries or luggage. If you need more capacity to transport your Nicholasville errands or adventures, you can easily fold the second-row seatbacks to access nearly 55 cubic feet of cargo space. And for equipment that won't fit inside, the Q5 comes standard with aluminum roof rails and a max towing capacity of 4,400 pounds when properly equipped.

Technology

The Q5's standard 10.1-inch MMI® touch display provides quick and intuitive access to your contacts, messages, favorite playlists, and Audi connect® intelligent navigation. Or you can use wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for cable-free connectivity via your phone's familiar interface. The available 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit bolsters the Q5's driver-focused experience with a customizable, high-res digital instrument cluster.

Safety

The Audi Q5 augments your attentive driving with a full complement of advanced driver aids as standard equipment. So, no matter your chosen tier, you'll receive confidence-enhancing features like:

• Audi side assist (blind-spot monitoring)
• Pre sense® city (collision warning and mitigation)
• Lane departure warning
• Parking system plus (front and rear acoustic sensors)
• High-beam assist

Audi Q5 Variants

Audi offers several variations based on the Q5's winning formula. The Q5 Sportback offers the same luxury, versatility, and drivability with a sportier coupe-like form factor and a standard S line appearance package. Meanwhile, the Audi Sport GmbH-produced SQ5 and SQ5 Sportback deliver a high-performance experience with adaptive suspension and a potent 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 making 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

How Does the Q5 Rate Against The Audi Lineup?

The Audi Q5 falls into the compact class of the Audi crossover roster. That places it right in the middle of the pack in terms of size. The subcompact Audi Q3 is quite comparable in terms of ability and technology. You will find it can go toe-to-toe in many categories. The main difference falls in its size. Though still spacious enough for five people to enjoy the ride, it provides less passenger volume. Another place it differs from the larger Q5 is its 228-horsepower four-cylinder engine as its only option under the hood.

On the other side of the scale is the midsize Audi Q7. It carries a similarly charged 248 horsepower base four-cylinder as the Q5. Where it separates itself is its dual-screen MMI infotainment touchscreen setup. It is larger than the compact Q5 and seats up to seven passengers.
