5 Things You Didn't Know About the Audi Q5

Whether you're considering getting the Audi Q5 or you already own the car, here's some good news. Audi is doing some exciting stuff these days, so the Audi Q5 is packed with some pretty cool features.

Here are 5 things you didn't know about the Audi Q5.

It's a smooth and quiet ride

The Audi 5 is a compact luxury crossover SUV, and even though it's not a small car, one of its best features is how quiet and smooth it drives. Its 2-liter V-4 engine produces 248 horsepower. The SQ5's sportier update boasts a 3-liter V-6 engine with 349 horsepower.

The Audi Q5 is an all-wheel-drive vehicle with a smooth ride thanks to its strong base suspension. Its cabin is remarkably quiet, and even when riding on highways, you'll quickly notice that the car does not make a lot of noise. The motor is silent, and outside noises are subdued in the cabin.

It's a very refined car

People end up giving up their hot cars for a variety of reasons, with high operating costs at the top of the list. On the other hand, they are usually tired of their loud exhaust, uncomfortable ride, and stripped interior on their daily commute.

While the Q5 isn't particularly exhilarating to drive, it's quieter and more refined than ever before. The fact that this is possible despite 20-inch wheels and diesel engine shows that Audi is capable of producing cars that exceed class expectations.

It has a roomy interior

Audi redesigned the Q5 wheelbase in 2018 to give a roomier interior, increasing the car's value appeal. Even in the back seats, passengers have plenty of legroom. Even taller folks will have plenty of area above their heads. In the Audi Q5, passengers will not feel crowded. Interior controls and compartments were also redesigned to make it easier for the driver to access them. Smartphone charging outlets and storage compartments are located in the back seats.

It has a cool tech pack

The Audi Technology pack comes with the MMI Navigation bundle that includes five free online map updates. Dynamic Route Guidance is a feature of the sat nav program that delivers traffic updates and directs you automatically to the shortest route utilizing TMCpro.

Using the Audi Smartphone Interface and the Audi MMI Connect app, you may stream internet media from your iOS or Android phone to the car.

Audi's Virtual Cockpit may look and sound just like something you'd expect to find on a plane simulator, but it's such an incredible addition to your vehicle that you'll rightfully wonder how you ever got along without it.

The Virtual Cockpit is a 12.3-inch display that replaces your normal analog driver's gauges with a set of digital dials fitted snugly below the steering wheel. It will show your speedometer, 3D navigation software, rev counter, media information, radio, various driver aid systems, and car settings, caller ID, among other things.

There's not a lot of cargo space

The lack of cargo space in the 2019 Audi Q5 is one of its flaws. If you need cargo room in your crossover, this model may not be right for you. The total amount of space available is 26.8 cubic feet. There is 60.4 cubic feet of storage with the back seat folded down. Some of the inner storage space is jumbled up, and some of the sections are small. This could be inconvenient for both the driver and the passengers.
