The New Audi Q5 is an amazing crossover luxury vehicle that is well-rounded and diverse in its use. The vehicle has the sleek appeal of a high-end car without the bulkiness of an SUV.

Standard features are based upon trim level. Standard tires are 18-inch size. Audi claims best-in-class towing capacity, at 4,400 pounds. Standard Q5s feature black body trim, but customers will also be able to select a full body-colour option or even pick a contrasting shade. Alternatively, sporty S Line versions provide a more aggressive look, and an optional off-road package includes beefy under-body protection and bigger alloy wheels.
Available xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps and LED tail lamps provide brilliant lighting, and of course the standard eighteen-inch wheels would have been unheard of in the past, especially not the Q5′s range of handsome alloys. Nineteen- and twenty-inch wheels are also offered. Available features include Audi’s MMI (Multi Media Interface) system, which uses a dashboard screen and control knob to control audio, navigation, suspension, and other functions.
