The model

Read full review

The Audi Q5 is a fine choice if you're after big, posh SUV but you don't need seven seats; it's smarter inside than a BMW X3 and better to drive than a XC60. Go for entry-level Sport trim or pay extra for air suspension is you want a comfortable ride.

The trim

See full equipment

Edition 1 trim adds 20in wheels, bespoke styling touches and Nappa leather seats. Cheaper S line makes more sense, though.

The engine

See full engine specs

Assuming you’re willing to consider a diesel these days, the 40 TDI is a brilliant engine; it's effortlessly strong from low revs and the acceleration arrives smoothly and progressively as the revs rise.
