Audi Q5 Offers Luxury Performance Wrapped In Extensive Safety Suite

New Cars

The 2023 Audi Q5 delivers exceptional driving performance, upscale interior and impressive suite of accident avoidance systems.

Audi offers its luxury Q5 in three trim levels – Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. Adaptive Cruise control is standard on all models. The Premium Plus trim also includes a Bang & Olufsen audio system with immersive sound technology.

Engineers have equipped Q55 Prestige variants with the Sport Plus Package with OLED taillights. Quantum Gray has also replaced the traditional Chronos Gray on the color roster.

Under the Hood

Base engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with available 201-hp on the Q5 40 and paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Quattro all-wheel drive is standard across the entire Q5 lineup.

Q5 40 delivers an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The Q5 45 model is rated 23 mpg for urban drivers and 28 mpg on the freeway.

Comfort and Convenience

All Q5 variants include a 10.1-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, two USB ports, HD radio and a 10-speaker stereo.

Standard leather upholstery provides comfort for five passengers. Front seats are well-cushioned and provide sufficient legroom for tall drivers. Al surround view camera makes cruising narrow roads and parking in tight spots easier.

Cargo space is 25.8 cubic feet behind rear seats and 54 cubic feet with the back seats folded.

Available upgrades include a navigation system, driver's seat memory, Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless device charging, satellite radio and a panoramic sunroof.

Safety

Standard on the 2023 Audi Q5 lineup is a comprehensive suite of safety technologies.

Features include:

Pre Sense Basic: Uses sensors to detect potential hazards, such as a sudden change in speed or direction of another vehicle. It tightens seatbelts and closes the windows when potential danger is detected.
Pre-Sense City: Integrates a front-mounted radar sensor to monitor collisions with vehicles or pedestrians. If an accident is imminent, Pre Sense City applies brakes to prevent or mitigate the crash.
Sideguard Head-Protection Airbags: Airbags are deployed from side pillars in side impact accidents. They protect front occupants from head injuries.
Parking System Plus: Triggered ultrasonic sensors recognize objects behind and by the car's sides when parking. It also helps drivers park appropriately in a parallel position.
Side Assist: Utilizes radar to pinpoint vehicles obstructed from the Q5's view. If a vehicle is detected in a blind spot, a warning light illuminates the corresponding side mirror.
