Audi Q5 2.0 TDI DPF (105 kW) Quattro
Most will agree that Q5 is a 90 degree angle surrounded by Q7. However, it is impossible to draw parallels in design, since cars do not share it in any way. Q5 is produced on the same conveyor belts as A4. It will be desirable for those who aspire to the off-road state of mind (road appearance, high seating position, traffic control, sense of security, etc.) but want the driving dynamics of conventional low-lying vehicles.
Also outwardly, the Q5 is much more dynamic than the Q7. This feeling is mainly created by the low roofline (although there is a lot of headroom inside) and the front grill with headlights, which, in combination with LED lighting, work quite aggressively.
Let's go back to the main ingredients of this soft SUV. As mentioned, it is powered by a proven engine that every auto mechanic is supposed to be able to disassemble and reassemble, even if we wake him up in the middle of the night. In which, of course, there is nothing wrong.
The only question is whether it fits the needs of what we call a mid-size SUV. In this case, it can easily be said that the engine is rather low-powered. Maybe the numbers already show that this is not so, but this is exactly the same as with statistics: it detects everything, but shows nothing.
The torque at low revs is significantly lower, but the cavalry is enough for decent movement, and there is no fear that they will not be able to keep up with the speed of today's movement. However, if you are counting on towing a trailer, forget about it and run your finger on the price list below.
In order not to get into the "holes" that require special attention, you need to be able to handle the gearbox. It is very accurate and the gear ratios are precisely calculated, only the clutch travel, as usual in this engine-transmission combination, is significantly longer.
No need to waste words on drivetrain design, the Quattro speaks for itself. The most important thing for this class of car is not to feel the operation of four-wheel drive in normal conditions, and when you need it, try your best.
But don't get too carried away and wake up Bear Grylls, as this Audi has some pretty mild off-road capability - mainly due to the road tires, low-slung chassis and sills.
As we're used to at Audi, the look inside is once again pleasing: a judicious choice of materials, quality workmanship and an ergonomically perfect layout. But what Audi would be like without things from the accessories list - we doubt anyone knows. This does not mean that choosing a "toy" - say, an MMI system - is unwise.
It's really a little awkward to work with at first, but later, when they start ticking with the driver, all the data and information will be at your fingertips. The very advanced navigation system with very nicely drawn cartography deserves praise.
The back bench also has plenty of room to take someone on a long journey. At the same time, the trunk not only meets the standard, but also surpasses it in terms of the level of competition. We only advise you not to pay extra for the luggage fastening system. Besides being cumbersome to install, it also takes up a lot of space and can be a hindrance.
The Q5 may have missed the opportunity to have a slightly more custom design and not rely on the bigger sibling in terms of shape. But the point is that it meets the requirements of off-road buyers while also offering the driving performance of a more agile vehicle. But if you can, take a small leap with richer stability - the Q5 is basically made to handle more dynamics.

evaluation
The design of the car is painted on the skin of slightly more powerful engines than the 105-kilowatt turbodiesel. Only in this way the meaning of a dynamic SUV will come to the fore.
We praise and reproach
