Drives and handles great, poor features

I like this vehicle but I would not recommend it. I like it for the way it drives and handles, that's it. The Q5 drives great, very smooth and mobile, some turbo lag but good power. The issue is the outdated tech and hard to use features for simple things. Firstly, you have to get a premium plus model because it comes standard with push start, lower models do not. This amazes me since even non luxury cars have push button as standard (Nissan). Also, you have to make sure the Q5 you want to buy comes with technology package otherwise you won't get Bluetooth. Good luck trying to turn on and off the front and rear wipers. Because of the setup you keep turning one off while turning the other on. You have to try to find a happy medium to control the wipers. It should not be that difficult. Next the MMI is a pain to do everything. There are no shortcut buttons even though there are so many buttons in front of you. The presets is a scroll to find rather than just a quick push of a button. To hang up the phone is a pain in the A** when on bluetooth, there is no easy quick way to just end the call. For instance on my BMW and Mercedes I can hit a button on the steering wheel to answer or end calls, not so on the Audi you can answer by pushing the MMI center button but have to go seek to end the call. Finally what I find most annoying is the gas remaining indicator, if your gas light comes on the car does not tell you how many miles left to empty, for that you will have to restart the engine and look closely for a quick flash telling you how many miles till empty, if you blink you miss it. Oh! I almost forgot, a 2016 Audi Q5 Premium Plus does not tell you which tire is low, low tire pressure is all you get. Can you believe that?

This crossover is terrific. Design, ride, engine(3.0), cabin, acceleration...you name it and wow. Meets and exceeds our expectations. Technology is good but not up to some of its competitors in all aspects. Back up camera view is blue and orange....Not the best for visibility for the driver. No collision avoidance...should be standard. Coming in 2017? Blind spot alert is very visible, a plus. Instruments well laid out. Controls intuitive...no more smudges on the screen. Sound system(B&O) aka as concert hall, very rich. Seat pre sets: steering wheel not included, a big oversight by Audi. Wipers and lights wonderful. Cabin noise could be less. Wife is 5'2" so access is easy compared to other suv's.

I have had the pleasure of driving a well built, great performing luxury SUV, the 3.0T equipped, 2016 Audi Q5. I have chosen the S-Line model, which has some of the nicest body lines that compliment the Black Optics over Ibis white color scheme. Equipped with the Tech package and 21" wheels, the Q5 is pure enjoyment! The black leather interior is practical, functional and very comfortable. I do have the Sport Interior, which gives you the flat bottom steering wheel and firmer sport seats with thigh supports. The Bang and Olefsen stereo is a superb sounding, enriching pleasure every time I play it a little on the loud side. With a well laid out display, the MMI response could be more responsive, but it is not burdensome. Satisfaction and contentment are equally matched with adrenaline and excitement whenever you need the supercharged V6 engine to come to life. Excellent throttle response leads to spirited acceleration, seat planting torque and miles of smiles as you allow this performance SUV to stretch it's legs. Audi has put forth a nicely balanced, visually and sensory pleasing vehicle at a very affordable price. I highly recommend this drivetrain package over the 2.0T level, as you get a firmer suspension, larger brakes, dual outlet exhaust and a horsepower/torque range that will put enjoyment at your finger tips!

I love the body style. Interior is somewhat lacking compared to the Mercedes GLC but still nice. Ride and handling is what you would expect from German engineering, flawless. I would definitely recommend this SUV.

I named mine Danica

My wife and I nicknamed out 2016 Q5 “Danica”, because like its namesake, Danica Patrick, it is tough as nails and fast as hell, but it always looks beautiful and classy. Many things about our Q5 TDI are surprising - mostly good and a few not so good. It has great acceleration and sports sedan-like handling, unbelievable efficiency for its size, and top-of-the line build quality. It also has surprising poor technology for the model year, and unusable voice recognition. The over sized outside mirrors give a panoramic view rearward, but create a very large blind spot that can be disconcerting, to say the least. Overall I’d say it was the best vehicle in its class in 2016, the last model year that the Diesel engine was offered. The 3.0 liter diesel is perfectly suited to this car, and it’s a pity that engine had to be scrapped in subsequent years. UPDATE: I own a 2016 Q5 TDI after my first 2014 model was totaled in a flood. I was pleased and delighted to find a replacement. Where do I begin? The turbo diesel is simply the best possible engine for this SUV, by far. It is extremely quick, and combined with the sports car like suspension it’s a bona fide sporting rival to the 2017 Audi S3 that I also own - but with much more room and utility. The one drawback - as others have mentioned - is the surprising lack of technology in a car of this generation, at this price point. I literally have to plug a phone charger into the cigarette lighter to charge a phone. That’s ridiculous. But that omission pales in comparison to the car’s merits: high quality interior, top notch construction, remarkable fuel efficiency, and sports sedan-like handling. This vehicle has it all. My Audi dealer sends repeated offers to buy this car back from me in exchange for a newer model, but since the diesel is irreplaceable, and it’s the best engine ever offered in the Q5, I will never trade it for a newer Q5.
