Pretty and so fun to drive...

I drove an A4 many years ago but moved over to Lexus and BMW for the last few years. Thought about getting another BMW X4 but the price increase for 2018 was ridiculous. Before buying my Lexus a few years ago, I looked at the Q5 then. Happily, I decided to consider it again and timing was perfect. The all new 2018 model is beautiful and fun to drive. I prefer driving a crossover/SUV and this one is perfect for me.

Great luxury crossover

Love the exterior and interior styling. The interior is especially minimalistic and elegant. The multimedia system actually makes sense and its Google Earth GPS is better and almost as easy to use as my phone. Car has a lot of hidden features and it's fun discovering a new piece of the puzzle each day. Driving-wise, car feels sturdy but nimble for an SUV. Acceleration is great with 0-60 in less than 6 seconds with traction control off. Driving style can be adjusted to driver's preference in regards to steering, engine and transmission. Plenty of backseat space with adjustable back seats. Trunk is spacious with 3-way folding seats. Visibility is great. MPG is acceptable. No idea in regards to reliability or safety ratings but definitely has a lot of safety features. So far, 2000 miles later, did not detect any reliability issues. Overall, great car but maybe a little overpriced for the category, as a lot of the features are little easter eggs that only car enthusiasts care about.

Great car, I enjoy driving it!

So much fun, only one problem:it is so smooth, you have to watch the speed!!! It is easy to get in and out of the Audi. The start and pick up is tremendous.

Love My New Audi Q5

Great car so far. Completely happy with all the new features. The power and handling is beyond expectations for medium sized SUV. German styling and luxury checked all of my must have boxes. Looking forward to many fun years of driving in this vehicle.

Fun car to drive

'This car is enjoyable to drive and provides the safety measures I was looking for. It's also bigger than my Q3 so it's a more comfortable ride.

Most reliable car

A very comfortable ride with ample leg space. Premium plus trim has almost all convenience, comfort and safety features. Apple and android carplay with lighting cables are really helpful. Engine has lot of power compared to its competitors plus a very good fuel economy.

Future car is here Guys

I was speechless when I saw the virtual cockpit of this Audi Q5. Also, the legroom and the trunk space is increased compared to the old Q5. In terms of Comfort there is no match for this vehicle, they give option to set the comfort level based on the driving environment offroading/comfort/Dynamic etc. This vehicle is loaded with endless features, I am the proud owner of Audi Q5 2018, totally worth it.

The Best Q5 Ever!

Audi 2018 Q5 by far exceeded all my expectations I was looking for in a luxurious SUV! I earlier owned an Audi 2016 Q5 as well. The 2018 is by far the best! It has amazing power and at the same time is earth friendly and uses fuel efficiently! Has the best tech features and has an overall comfortable and luxurious feel. The seats are plush and the steering wheel feels great.
