The Audi Q5, a compact luxury crossover, was last redesigned in 2018. It moves into 2020 with some light updates. It competes with the BMW X3, INFINITI QX50, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, and Volvo XC60.
The Q5 comes exclusively with Audi’s 45 TFSI engine, which is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine. It’s good for 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to get you to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. The brand’s Quattro all-wheel-drive (AWD) system comes standard, as does a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). Fuel-economy ratings stand at 22 mpg city, 27 highway, and 24 combined with premium fuel. The Q5 offers 25.1 cubic feet of cargo space. With the second-row seats folded, cargo capacity increases to 53.1 cubic feet.
Audi splits the Q5 into Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims. The Premium trim comes standard with 18-inch wheels, Audi’s smartphone interface with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED lighting, and keyless access and entry. The Premium Plus trim adds full LED headlights, a full LCD instrument cluster, and a panoramic sunroof. Finally, the Prestige trim comes with a power-adjustable steering column, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a head-up display (HUD).
Every Q5 comes with forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking. The Premium Plus trim and above come with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and vehicle-exit assist. The available Driver Assistance Package, now offered at the Premium Plus trim, comes with adaptive cruise control, traffic-jam assist, and active lane assist. The Q5 earned mostly Good crash-testing ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2019.
The Audi Q5 holds its own in the luxury segment, with plenty of tech, comfort, and good looks.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2020 Audi Q5 appreciate its luxurious feel, smooth driving experience, and comfortable interior. Many drivers highlighted the great handling and performance, often comparing it favorably to other luxury brands. However, some found the cargo space to be limited and felt that certain features should not be tied to higher trim levels, considering it a drawback for the price."
Great car! The Premium Plus trim line has just about everything you would need and want in a car of this type. I bought it a week ago and still learning to use all the features and electronics. Very comfortable with good visibility. The handling is incredible! It handles like a sport coupe, but has room for 5 and good space in the rear for your stuff. The Sport Mode setting makes it very quick and fun to drive! My last tests will be driving it in the snow and rain.
June 23, 2023This was a gorgeous vehicle and definitely luxurious. Great driving, extremely comfortable. The price of the car was also reasonable for the amount of luxury this car provides. Comparable to Lexus, BMW, Jaguar, etc.
September 30, 2020I love my “ new “ 2020 Audi Q5. My last car was also a Q5 ( 2011). Best drive ever with room for the kids and dog in the back…

October 29, 2023It’s our second car (my husbands) for driving to the train and kids sports- etc! It’s an awesome car- beautiful interior and exterior. Very fun to drive! Perfect second car !
September 8, 2023More than I expected! Drives nice, handles well and has some get up & go!!
September 7, 2023Drives smoother than the BMWs X3 in my opinion, very responsive. Not great space in the cargo area. Plenty of pick-up and even though the styling hasnt changed much in over 10 years it is the vehicle others try to imitate.
February 1, 2021Too small for $$. Requiring Prestige trim to get 360° camera option is a ripoff (best, most hepful feature on our 2017 Q7)
