Pros
Available plug-in hybrid powertrain
Quiet, comfortable and roomy cabin
Top-notch craftsmanship
Cons
Lacks standout traits in a crowded class
Transmission can be hesitant to downshift when needed
Touchscreen interface is sometimes distracting to use
What's new
Adaptive cruise control now comes standard
Premium Plus trim adds standard Bang & Olufsen audio system
Part of the second Audi Q5 generation introduced for 2018
Overview
You certainly have plenty of choices when it comes to small luxury SUVs. Audi, for its part, hopes you pick the 2023 Q5. Taking its place between the smaller Q3 and three-row Q7, the Q5 offers the expected Audi traits of a quality cabin design, standard all-wheel drive and plenty of technology features. There's even an available plug-in hybrid powertrain that offers strong power plus about 23 miles of all-electric range. It's a pricey model, but available tax credits might help offset the cost. And frequently recharging can really help save on gas.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2023 Audi Q5 Premium 4dr SUV AWD w/40 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.50 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.
Changes for 2023 are minor but useful. Adaptive cruise control now comes standard (and arguably overdue at this price), and the Bang & Olufsen audio upgrade is now included on the Premium Plus trim. Otherwise, there's not much else that helps the Q5 race past other rivals in small luxury SUV rankings such as the Genesis GV70 or Acura RDX. And with the Mercedes-Benz GLC sporting a from-the-ground-up overhaul for 2023, competition is bound to be stiffer than ever. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to learn more about where the Q5 shines and where it comes up short.

edmunds TESTED
The Q5 is a competent luxury SUV but lacks any standout traits that would make it a must-buy. Although Audi's best-seller is roomy, refined and surprisingly nimble, the small luxury SUV class is full of rivals that offer the same qualities but with superior performance and all-around excitement.
How does the Q5 drive? We tested the Q5 in 45 TFSI guise, which means it had the 261-hp engine. Although the Q5 put up competitive numbers at our test track, accelerating to 60 mph in 6 seconds flat, it's hit-or-miss in the real world. Once the turbo's spooled up and you're in the right gear, there's a nice, smooth pull to redline that's worthy of the Audi badge. But the transmission can be slow to engage and sometimes feels indecisive. This is an adequate powertrain, but its reflexes are not sharp. Braking is the opposite — the pedal is firm and there's plenty of brake force as soon as you ask for it.
Push the Q5 toward its limits on a winding road and you'll be rewarded with good grip and impressive poise. Although the Q5's Quattro with Ultra technology all-wheel-drive system defaults to front-wheel drive under normal circumstances, we noted its eagerness to send power rearward during enthusiastic driving. It helps give this luxury SUV some rewarding athleticism.
Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the Q5? Our Q5 Prestige had superbly comfortable front sport seats with heating and ventilation. The cushions are a little too firm to be called plush but would provide welcome support on long drives. The cabin feels well built and is thoroughly insulated from the outside world. In particular, there's almost no detectable wind noise, even at highway speeds.
Ride comfort is satisfactory for the class, especially given the Q5's respectable handling capabilities and our test car's 20-inch wheels. You glide over most surfaces, while major pavement imperfections are met with a refined tautness that filters out harsh feedback.

How’s the interior? The Q5's cabin is spacious whether you're sitting in the front or the back seat, and it's easy to enter and exit through the well-shaped door openings. We also like the commanding driving position, which provides excellent outward visibility. One demerit is that the door-mounted armrest can feel too far away to provide the intended support.
The standard 10.1-inch touchscreen looks great, but it's mounted to the top of the dashboard like a tacked-on tablet. There's also no dial or touchpad controller, so you need to poke and swipe, which requires more of a reach the farther back you position the seat. Some of our staffers are nostalgic for the previous-generation Q5's console-mounted control knob, which fell readily to hand.
Technology
8.0/10
How’s the tech? Technology is a strong area for the Q5. The central touchscreen has a high-resolution display and feels responsive, though as noted, you might not love the reach required to get to the screen. The digital instrument panel is similarly crisp and responsive — a seamless pairing with the central screen. The advanced driver aids also performed well. Adaptive cruise control is well calibrated on the freeway, and you can't possibly miss the flashing blind-spot warning lights.
Though Apple CarPlay smartphone integration with wireless connectivity comes standard, we found the wired USB connection to be more consistent. Bluetooth compatibility is good, and our vehicle included a wireless charging station. Don't expect much from the voice activation system, though, as it requires you to adhere to strict prompts.
Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? With 25.8 cubic feet behind the seats, the Q5 has a maximum storage capacity that is almost perfectly average for the class. Other luxury SUVs in this class, including the BMW X3 (28.7 cubes) and Acura RDX (31.1 cubes), do offer more cargo space. There are a few tie-down points inside but no underfloor storage. Storage for small items inside the cabin is likewise competitive but unremarkable. There's an average-size center console box under the armrest, plus a handy square receptacle ahead of the shift lever that holds your phone at an easily viewable angle.
The Q5 boasts a maximum towing capacity of 4,400 pounds, which is strong for the class. Only a few competitors can match it. For parents, the well-positioned car seat anchor and tether points and roomy back seat make life easier.
Fuel Economy
8.0/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Audi Q5 45 TFSI gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in combined driving (23 city/28 highway), a good number for the class. We backed that up on our 115-mile standardized evaluation route by getting 27.9 mpg in real-world driving.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Q5 a good value? Build quality is a hallmark of Audi vehicles, and the Q5 is true to the brand. The interior panels exhibit a tight fit throughout the cabin, and there's an interesting mixture of authentic metals, leathers and woods inside. Some competitors do a better job of wowing you with crystals or flashy styling, but the Q5 brings a lot to the table.
Still, we're conflicted about its pricing. There isn't a whole lot that separates the Q5 from the pack, so you're paying top dollar without getting an exceptional product in return. Audi offers basic and powertrain warranties for only four years/50,000 miles, which isn't helping its case.
Wildcard
6.5/10
The Q5's conservative styling is in keeping with this model's past, but it also sets an underwhelming tone that the driving experience doesn't overcome. At their best, Audis feel like they're on the cutting edge of luxury, technology and performance. This Q5 isn't that kind of Audi; it's a safe play in search of standout strengths.
Which Q5 does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the Premium Plus trim for the comforts and conveniences it adds over the base trim. It costs more, but it offers solid value with features such as a panoramic glass sunroof, premium audio system, extended leather upholstery, and low-speed semi-automated driving system. For drivers with congested commutes, it's worth it. It also opens up other options unavailable for the base trim.
Audi Q5 models
The 2023 Audi Q5 is a five-passenger compact luxury SUV offered in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels. All come with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The standard 40 TFSI engine is rated at 201 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, while the 45 TFSI boosts power to 261 hp and 273 lb-ft.
The 55 TFSI e builds on the standard engine with a 17.9-kWh battery and an electric motor for a combined 362 hp and 369 lb-ft. The 55 TSFI e is plug-in rechargeable and can travel an EPA-estimated 23 miles on all-electric power before switching over to regular hybrid operation.

2023 Audi Q5 Prestige 4dr SUV AWD w/40 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
We now have 17,000 miles on our new Audi. We've done two trips to Florida and back, and averaged anywhere between 27.5 and 29.5mpg over the two trips.
The seats are comfortable, vision is good all around, the media screen is easy to read, heated steering wheel is a real bonus, and the sound system is great. There is plenty of room for 4 people comfortably, and their luggage. The rear … hatch opens with a slight swing of your foot under the rear bumper. The adaptive cruise control is great, once you figure out how to disable the predictive braking. The console storage compartment is is difficult to use, as the charging station platform blocks access to the storage, unless you remove your drinks from the cupholders, and then slide the charging station forward.
Since I do the majority of the driving on this car, I really appreciated the navigation system's traffic updates, as they were almost as accurate as Google maps were, and I didn't have to bother to connect to my phone each time we got in the car. Although the Audi media system can accept multiple phones being connected to it, unless you are the primary phone, it is very difficult to get your phone connected to the system. My wife would have to shut off her phone, then I could connect to the system.
There is one big surprise coming for all new model Audi owners, though: when your free Sirius/XM/Traffic update subscription expires, you lose access to several perks wrapped up in the Connect App. The biggest for me was the inability to have Sirius activate their Traffic update upgrade to my account, due to Audi restricting access to that function. The only way you can return that function to your Audi is to pay a minimum of $365 per year for the Connect app! So now, for traffic, you either pay that ridiculous fee, or resort to using Carplay again.
The parking assist system is so difficult to control that I finally figured out how to inactivate it, as it was constantly giving us alarms in multiple non-parking situations.
My wife still really likes the car(it's hers), as she isn't as worried about the lack of traffic updates as I am. She likes the feel of the seats, likes that it connects to her phone flawlessly, and feels safe driving it. So, unless we have future mechanical issues with it, we will probably stick with it for the next four to five years.
Update at 27,000 miles: The car is in the shop for a number of issues. I noticed that the Audi was taking a long time to warm up when it is cold outside(about twice as many miles driven before warmup than my Subaru). In addition, the temperature fluctuates over 30 degrees or more after it reaches the actual normal operating temperature.
We have had several black MMI screens over the last year, 3 times when the car was started, and twice while driving it. It does reset each time, but is not safe when it does so while driving using Carplay. The last time it shut down while driving, when we re-activated it, the screen looked like it did when we had the free Audi Connect subscription. That lasted until we shut the car off.
Have had numerous issues with the Adaptive Cruise control un-necessarily slowing the car from set speed, sometimes as much as 15 mph below setpoint. If there is a slope down to a bridge on the interstate, the cruise slows us down 5-10 mph, then speeds back up. The ADC also slows the speed down if there is a semi next to us, or a vehicle towing a trailer, even though those vehicles aren't crowding our lane.
The parking assist has started deciding, on it's own again, that we are trying to park when stopped at lights, and now when we are waiting to pull out into the street from business parking lots. We get all the beeps and tones, and the visual indicators that we are too close to other vehicles, even when there is no vehicle beside us.
So far the dealer has had the car for three days, and is still trying to resolve the problems.
We still really like the Audi, great mileage, comfortable ride, good visibility, and plenty of storage space.

2023 Audi Q5 Premium Plus S line 4dr SUV AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)
Just days after purchasing my new Q5, the belt started whining at cold start for 10 min. Dealer found faulty alternator. Days after fixed noise back and dealer found faulty belt tensioner. Days after fix brake pedal feels loose. Dealer found faulty brake booster and replaced. Returned and brake pedal is now hard to press at start. Dealer claims normal and will get better. 1 week and no … change in the stiffness, also auto stop/start is not working anymore. Dealer claims it’s normal because it’s cold outside. Not amusing. After insisting to check they find brake booster and other brake components need to be replaced again. Auto stop/start working again “for now”, 25 days without my new car feels like I made a mistake buying this Q5 and now considering options. Audi quality has plummeted.

Born Lucky, not Audi lucky, 06/10/2022
2022 Audi Q5 Premium S line 4dr SUV AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)
I was ecstatic when I got my new 2022 Audi Q5 last fall. All in all (extended warranty, etc), I paid $60,000 for this car. There were a few little quirks initially, but nothing that I couldn't handle or work through as a new owner. April 13, 2022 and a tick, tick, tick and then the engine light appeared. I took the car to the Minneapolis Audi dealership and they told me the car … needed a new engine. Today, June 10th I got a call from Chrissy who told me the engine was in and it looks like I'll get the car back next week. Sadly, the dealership has treated me like every other customer who comes in for an oil change. No updates unless I call them, no relaxing of the loaner rules and bad luck with the loaners themselves. I really don't want the car back and can't believe I paid $60k for something I have no doubt will continue to give me issues and a dealership I will have to go to for service that will only be looking out for their bottom line.

2022 Audi Q5 Premium Plus S line 4dr SUV AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)
Bought our 2022 Audi Q5 S line 45 TFSI quattro in May of 22. Nice vehicle with a great ride. So much technology that it gets confusing if you are not a young techie. The problem we have is with the series of black buttons below the silver buttons for the AC control screen. The buttons are black with white labeling. Being that the buttons are under the silver buttons, the are not legible … during the day in the bright daylight. Buttons should have been a different color. The buttons are for parking aid, ESC, start/stop function, plus others. Poor design by Audi. Also found that the tool kit was missing the tweezers tool to get the covers off the lug bolts and the wheel locks were not included. Small things but someone did not check if these things supplied before the car went out to the customer,
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 Audi Q5, so we've included reviews for other years of the Q5 since its last redesign.
There are few vehicles that combine the versatility of an SUV with so much genuine fun-to-drive feel as the Macan. It's exactly what we would expect from a Porsche. If there is one drawback to the Macan, it's that high starting price. The base Macan is thousands more than a midlevel Q5, and options can send that price skyward quickly. Nor is it as roomy as the Q5.
The BMW X3 is a strong player in this segment, and it recently received a refresh that granted it even more technology features. It's a solid option in a crowded class, and it differentiates itself from the Q5 by being a little sportier and enjoyable to drive. BMW no longer offers a plug-in hybrid version of the X3, however. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the X3.
The GV70 is one of the newest small luxury SUVs to come out, and it will immediately grab you with its sleek looks, plethora of features and reasonable starting price. Its top-spec model features a gutsy engine and handling traits that rival the best of the segment. If there is one thing Audi has over the GV70, it's greater brand recognition, but that doesn't mean the GV70 lacks any of the Audi's excellence.
Uses sensors at the front of the car to warn you about an imminent front collision and can automatically apply the brakes.
Side Assist
Alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot.
Traffic Jam Assist
Pairs adaptive cruise control and lane-centering assistance to reduce driver effort (and stress) in heavy traffic.

2023 Audi Q5 First Impressions
by the Edmunds Experts
•2/17/2022
What is the 2023 Audi Q5?
The 2023 Audi Q5 is a compact luxury SUV first launched in 2009 and redesigned in 2018. All-wheel drive comes standard, as does a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The available plug-in hybrid powertrain offers significantly more power and is available on all three trims (Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige), but it doesn't come cheap.
The 2022 model faced fewer rivals in the luxury compact SUV space (Mercedes-Benz and BMW exited the market), but it didn't exactly blow us away. Its increased battery size for 2022 gave it an all-electric range of 23 miles, up from 19 miles for 2021. But it came up short against front-runners including the Edmunds Top Rated Luxury SUV, the Genesis GV70 (new for 2022), and the Acura RDX (redesigned in 2019).
Spy photos on the internet seem to point to an exterior styling update for the 2023 Q5, which could help it reclaim the bold design advantage Audi brought to the compact SUV space when the Q5 debuted. But otherwise, we expect the 2023 Audi Q5 to be largely the same as the 2022 model.
Edmunds says
The Audi Q5 is a competent luxury compact SUV that's overshadowed by a number of rivals. It looks like it might get a refreshed look for 2023, so check back with Edmunds for updates as we get more information.
