In the span of just a decade, the Audi Q5 has gone from an unassuming little crossover SUV to Audi's sales leader. In fact, so successful was the original design that Audi has overhauled the Q5 only once in its lifetime. The newest version, introduced in 2018, has continued the Q5's upward trajectory and remains one of our favorites in a competitive segment.
We like the compact dimensions of the Q5 and the ease with which passengers can get in and out of it, even in tight parking spots. And with its quality materials and clean design, the interior continues to impress us as well. Other advantages include advanced but easy-to-use technology features and smooth road manners.
But other manufacturers are honing their small luxury crossovers. BMW's X3 and Mercedes-Benz's GLC, for example, offer similar levels of refinement yet more cargo space. The Q5 also comes up short on power upgrades — a four-cylinder engine is the only thing offered — though Audi would likely note that you can get the related SQ5 if you want more performance. Overall, the popular Q5 strikes a pleasing and satisfying balance of luxury and comfort.
