The Audi q5 is a 4 door, small size luxury SUV.
The instrument cluster had a glitch that caused it to constantly drain the battery. Once the battery died it blew the radio fuse. This cause a few issues and was costly to fix. Although, the vehicle runs great! The interior is also very good condition.

The Audi q5 is so smooth to drive. It includes many amazing features.
Audi q5 drives very smooth and it is very comfortable. It is certainly a classy car & all the features inside are great. From leather seat warmers to the radio options like Sirius XM it really does have a lot. The moon roof is also great especially for road trips. I travel quite often in my Audi, it is reliable & a comfy drive wherever I go.

Audi q5 - extremely reliable.
In the eight years we have owned this vehicle I can honestly say we have had no major issues. Kept up with regular maintenance and this vehicle has treated us extremely well! Would definitely buy an Audi again. We will drive this vehicle until it does not function anymore.

Audi luxury SUV is a definite upgrade from a Ford Explorer.
Very roomy, great on gas both city and highway. Classy, very nice leather interior and has all the bells and whistles. Runs great, never had any major issues with the vehicle. I bought this vehicle used about 6 months ago and was in excellent condition both inside and outside. Would definitely like to upgrade to a newer model in the next year or so.

Love my Audi q5! Repairs can get expensive.
I love my Audi q5. It has over 100k miles on it and still runs like new. My only problems have been normal wear and tear and the odd sensor issue (sensor broken rather than something actually wrong with the car). Repairs can be expensive just because of the cost of the replacement parts.

2010 Audi Q5- Smooth and Nice
I love my Audi Q5 it is so smooth to drive, the speakers are amazing and it's super cute too! Mine is white so it is hard to keep clean but it's so worth it! The gas mileage is great as well and I only have to get gas every two weeks. The sport mode is so nice to have in a car as it makes the ride even smoother and faster.

Reliable and very progressive with its technology.
Vehicle does great in snowy conditions. Needed a radiator repair at 85k miles. Very reliable but expensive to fix. I would recommend this vehicle if you can afford a new one because they are made well ahead of their time with German engineering. Comfortable ride

Simplicity
I bought a prestige, it was excllent for about a year then everything started breaking ! All electrical . Audi makes one colossal mistake when building these they incorporate all of those bells and whistles into the engine and drivetrain so if you have something totally unneeded that breaks it usually effects your engine performance or your engine simply wont run at all ! If they dedicated the fuses in the rear just to the engine and transmission then labeled each fuse and relay individually instead of using a one size fits all fuse diagram which does not coincide with my vehicle at all then use the two side panels out front for bells and whistles this would be an amazing car ! Kiss keep it simple stupid or in this case kiss keep it separate stupid. The engine and transmission are necessary for a car to be a car keep the stereo navigation body sensors brakes and windshield wipers all separate from the heart and soul of the vehicle and it will run forever which is what sells ! Dependability and quality..

Durable and very low maintenance needed.
This Audi is a great vehicle to drive my children around in. It has been very durable and very low maintenance as well. I have had the car for 5 years and I still like it very much! It is the only Audi I have ever owned and will soon be looking at new vehicles. Audi vehicles will be my first search because of this car.

White 2010 q5 Audi, black interior and runs very smoothly with cold a/c.
Audi is a 2010 model. It is white on the outside and black on the inside. It drive very smooth and the a/c works amazing. It has about 150k miles. I bought it used but it still runs great. It only has had two previous owners and it is in great shape. No damages but a small crack on the windshield.

Reliable family luxury car.
Audi q5 has been a reliable car. Does great on Hwy & city gas mileage. If you keep if with maintenance it runs smooth. Wish it was a little bit wider so it wouldn’t feel to smooshed. Love the type of sunroof it comes with. If you get an Audi just make sure you know or have somewhere where they know about this vehicle when it is having issues.
accountCircle Sandy P
Why wouldn't you want to ride in an Audi?
Alright so first things first my car is a an Audi. It has not really been giving me any problems. I can rely on it. I am also comfortable with it. And y’all know the features. However, I will explain them. It has great seats, and I also love my car color.

My car is all black so it gets a little warm in the summertime.
I love the way this vehicle drives. Reliable car for the most part. Minimal problems for it being a 2010 vehicle. Only issue I've had is an axle rod needing to be replaced and regular maintenance. I would definitely purchase another Audi for my next vehicle and even consider purchasing for my kids because of the safety features!

The 2020 Audi q5-the top third of our luxury compact SUV rankings.
It is a well-performed vehicle. I rarely have to change parts of it. Below are some pros and cons: pros: engaging handling. Smooth ride. Posh, spacious interior. Intuitive infotainment tech. Cons: below-average cargo capacity. More expensive than many of its classmates.
