Still happy with my 2015 Audi q5 tdi after 5.5 years.
I love my Audi q5 tdi. It handles extremely well in rain, sleet and snow which is very important to me living in New England. I have owned the vehicle for 5.5 years and have not had any issues, other than routine maintenance and the work required due to the VW diesel settlement with the government (which was covered by manufacturer). I commute an hour each way and love the seats - I find them more supportive than other SUVs in this class and the seat heaters are more powerful than my husband’s Volvo. The only complaint that I have is the navigation system is a bit finicky so I find myself using my phone instead of the navigation system for directions and road trips.

Audi q5 luxury German car review.
This Audi I have had for over 5 years!, is one of the best purchases that I have ever made. It comes with the assisted cruise control with is my favorite feature and the luxury in this car is still very good. 10/10 buy it especially because now a 2015 model is probably not very expensive.

The Audi q5 is a great family car!
I love my Audi q5. It is very comfortable and reliable. I also love the look of the car. It also comes with a great service plan and the staff are always so friendly and helpful. The only thing I am not pleased with is the navigation system. I find it very difficult to use.

I love this car, it is a member of our family!
It is so reliable, comfortable, and so user friendly. It has great features, plenty of legroom and the trunk space is just right. I feel very safe in this vehicle. My whole family agree with me that is the best car I have ever owned. I would highly recommend it highly to anyone.

I wouldn't give my Audi up.
Lately I have been noticing my check engine light flickering a lot which is honestly my only concern so far. If I do not give my car any problems then it will not give me any problems. My new car has everything that I needed in my old car. It rides steady and has pretty good features. I wouldn't trade my car.

Great car for individual or family. Comfortable for those who like to drive.
Smooth ride, comfortable. Easy to drive. Nice size and look. Good for entire family and plenty of storage. Getting it fixed is expensive. Maintenance is expensive. Service at dealer is very comfortable and personal. I would buy this car again but sedan next time.

Sporty Black 2015 Audi Q5
This is the most comfortable and best driving car I have ever had. It is sporty in style and look. Lots of extras. I love it!

A stylish, speedy family car.
Perfect family car and fits car seats well. It's great on gas and a speedy driver. Myself and the kids love the panoramic sunroof. A cool feature is that the back seats can pull forward or back giving more space. Also, the two sits in front extend out for more space for your legs which is great on long trips.

Audi 2015 q5, a fun car to drive.
My Audi is five years old at this point, but it still definitely holds up. The control panel is easy to use and is safe for on-the-road use. It is not very eco-efficient, however. It has a very good acceleration rate and is overall a very fun car to drive.
accountCircle Hank F
The front lights are very bright for some reason.
When driving in this car it is truly great. The seats are very comfortable and you will have a great time. However, the controls are sometimes a bit shaky. Also, the breaks are a bit annoying to control. Lastly, the top window can shake a bit. The back seats are a bit cramped if the front seats are moved all the way back.
accountCircle Tom E
That the brand is very solid for the most part but is more about doing everything well enough instead of doing one thing really well.
I like Audi's creature comforts but do not like their braking system as it is far too loose. Although the car performs fairly well, I would like a faster and smaller car.

Awesome SUV - easy to drive.
The most comfortable car I have ever driven. It is a real joy to drive. I also find operating it is very intuitive and does not require a lot of effort to be a great driver in this SUV. The radio and all controls are self explanatory and easy to use while driving. We have had zero issues or problem with the car. I love it.
accountCircle Colter A on March 20, 2021
Top notch sound system and excellent back up camera.
This car is fantastic for driving in Los Angeles because having a large vehicle that pedestrians and other aggressive drivers are afraid of helps you maneuver around a perpetually gridlocked city in which people drive like certified maniacs all of the time. The gas mileage is surprisingly great for an SUV and it is durable. I have drive it across the country several times and it is spacious enough for me, my wife and my dog to sleep in it if we needed to. I wish I had another one just like it.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Tessa D.

One of the major pros of the Audi Q5 is the fact that it is an SUV. This allows for a taller ride that seats 5 individuals. The car is spacious both for passengers and with regard to trunk space. Another major pro of the Audi Q5 is the fact that it has 4WD. This is important for driving in the winter and with various weather conditions. Finally, another pro of the Audi Q5 is the fact that Audi is a luxury brand and the Q5 is a luxury vehicle.

likeFilled Karen S.

It is a Great drive. It is a car that feels very luxurious. It handles well in bad weather. The car is a good size for our family. We find it very comfortable for the long car trips we take once a month.

likeFilled Laurie B.

Great drive and comfortable, good size, great look. Expensive servicing and has become very common on the road. Would like more color options and inside features. Jumpy acceleration but goods pick up.

likeFilled Tamia D.

Very spacious, smooth drive, power steering wheel, 4 wheel drive, durable seats, sunglasses holder, easily adjustable mirrors, easily adjustable seats, Bluetooth connection, a lot of cargo space, durable roof rack.

likeFilled Greg M.

The interior is top notch, luxury feel. The ride is pleasant and no hassles so far. I am getting good gas mileage and never have to worry about the weather. AWD is key for four seasons. I would buy again and you can trust Audi.

likeFilled Steven S.

The reliability, I have had no major issue from this vehicle. It is a tdi, with diesel a little more than gasoline, I think everything balance out because I get 600+ miles per tank full. It has all of the features I need ( navigation, Bluetooth, USB ports, radio, moonroof, heated seats, and it still look nice.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Tessa D.

Some of the major cons of the 2015 Audi Q5 are with regard to certain winter capabilities that are unavailable in the car. First, compared to newer models, the steering wheel is not heated, which can be annoying during winter months. Second, there is no remote start. Other car brands are able to start the car from a different area and allow the car to run and warm up without having to physically wait in the car. This is a convenient feature for winter months, but is unavailable in Audi cars, including the 2015 Q5.

dislikeFilled Karen S.

The car is expensive to repair. It is also expensive to keep the maintenance up as scheduled. It does not have the same safety features as our Subaru either. Occasionally, we would like to have more trunk or space. Although, that need is not often enough to justify going to the next mode.

dislikeFilled Laurie B.

See the below our previous. Is it a common car on the street now. It is jumping with acceleration. It would be nice if I came in more colors on the inside and outside. Very expensive to fix or to service.

dislikeFilled Tamia D.

Since the car is quite large it uses a good amount of gas, and since it is a luxury car you usually need to go to a specific dealer for it which can get pretty expensive and kind of a hassle. The GPS in the car also is not the best but it does come in handy.

dislikeFilled Greg M.

Tires can be expensive. I do not have all the latest safety tech. Audi can be expensive if you need to have work done on your car. If all wheel drive, not 4x4, you need to know when you have snow which can lead to sliding if it is to high.

dislikeFilled Steven S.

Navigating the navigation system with the turn knob takes a lot longer than necessary. USB ports are in the arm rest, would be better on the dash. Rear door access door is to low for people over 6 feet I keep bumping my head. Spare tire, could be easier to store when deflated it does not fit back into storage compartment.
