The 2022 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.
2022 Audi Q5 Review
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
- Sporty S line exterior design is standard
- Plug-in hybrid gets an upgraded 17.9-kWh battery and standard sport seats
- New entry-level 201-hp engine added
- Expanded infotainment features debut
- Part of the second Q5 generation introduced for 2018
Overview

The 2022 Audi Q5 is a nice compact luxury SUV. Equipped with standard all-wheel drive and available with a turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine or a significantly more powerful plug-in hybrid powertrain, the Q5 is decent to drive and appeals to a variety of consumers. It's a step up from the entry-level Q3 but not as expensive or bulky to drive as the larger three-row Q7. Key rivals include the Acura RDX, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC.

For 2022, every new Q5 gets sportier S line styling, while the plug-in hybrid, which carries the alphabet soup designation of 55 TFSI e, gets a more powerful battery that increases electric-only driving range to 23 miles (up from 19 miles in 2021). Plugging in this Q5 to charge frequently can easily reduce your use of gas. There's also a new base engine that Audi calls the 40 TFSI. It's a bit underpowered for a luxury SUV — just 201 horsepower — but it helps make the Q5 more affordable. It's less powerful than last year's base engine, though.
In selected cities, Audi also offers a new Traffic Light Information system for the 2022 Q5. Using vehicle-to-infrastructure technology, it predicts when traffic lights will turn green, helping drivers to spend less time idling in traffic. No matter where you live, the infotainment system gains improved voice control this year.
Overall, we like the Q5. It's roomy, comfortable and built to high quality standards. But it doesn't stand apart from rivals like it once did. To learn more about the Audi Q5, be sure to read our full Expert Rating for more details about this competent but ultimately unremarkable SUV.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Josh Sadlier
Average
7.6
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Audi Q5 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7/10
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 and help give this luxury SUV some rewarding athleticism.

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 and help 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.

Interior
8.5/10
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.

Some of our staffers are nostalgic for the previous-generation Q5's console-mounted control knob, which fell readily to hand.
Technology
8/10
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
8/10
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.
2022 Audi Q5 trim level differences
The 2022 Audi Q5 is a compact luxury SUV with seating for five people. Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels are available. All-wheel drive is standard, and you can select between the standard 40 TFSI, the slightly upgraded 45 TFSI or the available 55 TFSI e plug-in hybrid. Here's what you can expect:
Which Q5 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Whatever powertrain you select, we recommend the Premium Plus trim level. It includes more comfort and convenience items along with a panoramic glass sunroof and additional driver assist systems. It also serves as a pathway to a wider variety of options so that you can better tailor the SUV to your preferences.

2021 Audi Q5 Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)
I was actually looking for a sporty AWD wagon when I decided to test drive a Q5. I loved the way it drove and the technology package included with the trim level. It is a smooth drive with precise driving (for an SUV) and felt powerful when I wanted/needed it. I test drove a Volvo XC60, a Mercedes GLC and a BMW X3 and preferred the drive and cabin on the Audi much more than the others. … After 2000 miles, all is well and it is easily returning 30-31 mpg on the highway trips I have taken. The lane holding and adaptive cruise control is new to me but definitely a ‘must-have’ feature from now on.
Gripes? The fact that there is no oil dipstick freaks me out a bit (too old-school I guess). I think more interior storage would be nice. Everything is a little too small or in an awkward spot.
I will update when I get more mileage.
Second Audi, even better than the first.

2021 Audi Q5 Premium 4dr SUV AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)
I have driven a new 2017 A4 with the new 2 liter engine and had a lot of satisfying experiences since that purchase. The new 2021 Q5 is simply a more refined and even better equipped SUV version of my old car. While not quite as quick, the engine pulls willingly and smoothly for me. It makes me feel very confident merging into traffic. I have come to truly appreciate the Quattro as more … sure footed than 2WD and no wheel spin. The outside of my Audi is gorgeous Navarra Blue with black leather interior. The styling looks more refined now and good from every angle to me. The size feels just right. I don't need a lot of space and don't want the extra size of a larger SUV. The usual Audi interior styling is perfect for me, but I love the new larger touch screen, still getting used to that feature. For navigation along with the virtual cockpit it is the best. Controls are placed where I would expect to find them. I am getting to quickly appreciate the 360 degree view for parking and tight spaces. In a short period of time I have yet to use adaptive cruise control or lane keeping. First impressions of this SUV are all good for me and I am very glad of my purchase. Based on list price and features included it feels significantly better value than BMW X3 or Mercedes GLC. I was able to get a price that made me feel like I wasn't going to get better value for my auto shopping dollar. So I would definitely recommend giving the new Q5 a test drive.
Gateway module issue
1 out of 5 starsConcerned owner, 10/21/2021
2021 Audi Q5 Prestige 4dr SUV AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)
Our new Q5 had the issue that others are citing - the car totally shut down while driving, turned off. After not turning back on for about 45 minutes, the car started again and ran normal - but extremely dangerous. After over 10 days at the Audi dealer - they are replacing the gateway module. this should be a recall issue -but they probably aren’t because of fear of the lack of the … part.
Hoping for a software upgrade for the MMI
2 out of 5 starsJoe Biker, 06/30/2021
2021 Audi Q5 Premium 4dr SUV AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)
This car does not have a spare tire!
I traded in my 2014 Audi Q5 (which I loved) for a 2021 Q5. The 2021 drives as well as the 2014, is as roomy (I am 6'6"), and gets better gas mileage. I like the Adaptive Cruise Controls and the better cameras. However, the new MMI leaves a lot to be desired. They will need to release a software upgrade to address the numerous issue, before I can … recommend this car (to anyone who cares about the MMI). To mention a few of the worst problems: Neither Android or Apple phones (XR, or 12 Pro) will remain connected to the MMI. After they disconnect, they sometimes reconnect on their own, sometimes I can fiddle with the setting to get them to reconnect, sometimes I can unplug and replug the phone (put the Apple's in airplane mode), and sometimes all I can do is stop and restart the car. They have moved the Homelink controls into the touchscreen MMI (which is distracting when I am trying to turn into my driveway... I ended up having to put a garage door opener on the visor). Due to a flaw in their programming, the user profiles ALWAYS move the seat to the wrong position (so we quit using separate profiles). And once, the seats started moving on their own while I was driving down the road (and then a few minutes later, they moved back). There are a lot of other quirky things that I can't get into here, but as I said, I sure hope that they release a software upgrade or this may be my (fourth and) last Audi.
In the MMI: A black screen means disconnect and reconnect your phone. A white screen means that the cameras aren't working, so you must turn off the car and restart it to fix it. A blue screen means that the MMI has crashed; it will not fix itself (even if you turn off the car), you must hold down the thumb wheel for ~20 seconds to reboot the MMI. The blue screen has only happened to me once, the others are common.
