What does it cost?
For The Audi Q5 is an impressive car, with generous passenger space and a large boot. It’s well equipped and the dash is clear and easy to use.
Against It's not cheap to buy compared with rivals, and the ride on some versions is overly firm.
What Car? says
The Audi Q5 is one of the best cars in its class, thanks to its space and quality. If only the ride comfort were a little better.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Audi Q5 competes against some very desirable machinery and its price tag pits it against some larger 4x4s that are more capable off-road. However, the lure of the Audi badge means plenty of buyers will be tempted, and the Q5’s charms are worth considering.
Above all, it has a cabin with masses of space front and rear, and a large boot. It looks pretty swish, too, even if we’re not quite as impressed by the cabin materials as we are with most other Audis.
Acceptable CO2 emissions and fuel economy lead to reasonable running costs that will appeal to private and business drivers. We’d recommend one of the frugal 2.0-litre turbodiesels, and we’d steer clear of versions with big wheels, which give an even more punishing ride.
