Bought a Q5 Premium Plus 45 S-Line with the warm weather package three days ago. The Navigation system is great love the display options (Live in Hawaii) My Wife loves her new car. Dig how the rings light up the ground when the driver and passenger door is opened, the glowing rings on the front grill are a nice touch.
The black optic package is a must and completes the look of the car. I'm not a big fan of the design of the interior center console area but it's still functional and the quality of the materials are nice. A tablet display does not make it a show stopper for us...its intuitive enough and the drive is superb for its size.
Oddly all the comments that complain about this car are supported with clearly inferior cars - just drive them for the proof. Anyone would take this Q5 model for its engine and transmission technology, Quattro system, interior driving comfort, ergonomics of all controls, and most solid and lasting quality and comfort.
I have a 2021 q5 prestige and just got a 23’ loaner. I think they did some transmission tuning as the 23 feels snappier to respond, especially in dynamic. This is definitely the most well rounded suv in the segment.
Considered a q5 coming from an a5 but the tablet style console is just a no for me, I thought Audi would have integrated this for 2023. Very dated interior.
Just finished watching your RDX A-Spec review and since I'm torn between the RDX and Q5, I thought I'd check this out! Audi includes many Standard items that are "add-on's" for other makers. HOWEVER, they also have their "parts shortage" disclaimer which means that some of the great features listed as Standard (i.e.: heated/cooled cup holders & wireless charging, tilt/telescopic steering wheel) may not be available and yet. I don't want credits, I want whats listed!🤐 Acura doesn't seem to be having any issues with this. Compared to the other models in this class that I've looked at..the interior looks hard and plastic. Please tell me I'm wrong and that it's really comfortable (anyone!!!) 🙏 Love the stitching in the seats and doors. I like the rear slide/tilt seats but don't like the huge hump. Makes it a 4 seater. Also appreciate the rear climate control but miss the heated/ventilated seat option. The 40/20/40 seat folding option would definitely come in handy! Would like to see an integrated infotainment center. Love your "coupon cubby"! Caught 'spy pix' of the 2024 Q5 and it it appears a center console change is coming. From what I can tell, it looks very similar to the '24 Atlas Sport. If that's the case, bye-bye shifter and hello switches! Two very different models. The RDX is so sporty while the Q5 is rather classic and conservative (interiors). But is it also comfortable?! At this point, I may as well wait to see what 2024 brings! Thank you for another very helpful review!
Whoever is designing the fake exhausts and there are a lot of manufacturers who do this, I’d like to 🥊 them. It’s obvious they don’t read comments on all the car videos because I’ve never read where someone said they liked the fake exhaust. What group of designers got together and thought, “I like the fake exhaust let’s do that“
as someone who owns 3 vehicles w chrome tipped exhausts, I clean and polish them regularly. It doesn’t take much effort. Fake looks cheap and offers 0 aesthetic value…one glance and all you see is black plastic 2in deep. The simple fix to appease lazy drivers who don’t wanna clean chrome tips or lazy designers would be a steel exhaust pipe hidden under the car. Many have that and that looks far better than fake
@@isimonsez cleaning your car so much is such a huge waste of personal time. Consider yourself lucky that your work is non-taxing and simple. Those with demanding careers do not and want not to the time on manual labor that some day laborer could for few $$. The current design is fine.
Excellent review. Just bought this exact same vehicle, 2023 Q5 Premium Plus lack Optic package. We're on Audi number 5, we currently own 3 Audi SUVs, this 2023 Q5, a SQ5 and a 2020 Q7. Our new 2023 Q5 Black with the Optic Package is a bit of a Unicorn though, it has the Audi rings and Q5 badging blacked out and it has the warm weather package with the ventilated front seats which are also wider seats with "seat wings" that hold you in the seat better than the puffier standard leather seats. Just took is on a short 120 mile trip and though it's not a SQ5, the 45 standard power train is plenty powerful for accelerating lane changes and it does a have a slight "growl" when you hit gas, should be pleasing to those who don't need a SQ5 but want some pep.
How has you experience with the Audi brand in general? Mechanical/electrical issues? Want I buy in but cautious of “issues”. Hold on to my vehicles a long time and meticulously maintain all my vehicles. Curious.
Love the Q5, but that VW-grade interior has gotta go. The Mazda CX-5 seems to have a better interior than this, and that says nothing of the Volvo, MB, and BMW competition. Its time for a fresh and new direction here.
@@BFCINTL i did, I’ve drove 2022 cx5 for half year and test drive 2022 Q5 4 times recently. About interior, cx5 is really better than q5, the design, area covered by Leather, even the resolution of screen.
@@BFCINTL I actually have, which is why I am able to make that assessment. The Audi isn't a penalty box, but its interior is in need of updating in design and materials. A GV70's interior has far better execution in design and materials than this for the same money for instance.
I test-drove a Q5 today and noticed that the seatbelt panel was quite wide, obstructing my view - making me lean quite a bit forward to look at on-coming traffic as I turned onto a road. I'm 6"1 but I'm wondering if others were annoyed by this?
A wonderful vehicle but the aesthetics are getting tired. The infotainment is also in need of a complete overhaul. The tacked on screen is hard to reach and less than comfortable to use when driving, made far worse by the strange decision to get rid of the physical control from the center console.
@@isimonsez it is hard to reach. Specifically when driving. It’s actually not intuitive at all and the idrive in bmw or the previous generation Audi allowed you to control with knob which is way more driver friendly while driving.
I didn’t see the mild hybrid setup on Audi’s website - just their plug-in hybrid. I think you may be mistaken. The 40 and 45 engines are NOT hybrids. They’re standard gas 4 cyl turbos.
Your confusion is understandable since it is kind of convoluted. But, the thing is, mild hybrids don't count as actual hybrids because they cannot ever run exclusively on electric power. So both the TFSI 40 and 45 are regular 4-cylinders but they have 48v batteries to help the engine start and stop more aggressively/smoothly. Hope this helps clear things up.
Still using the tablet in 2023. Wow. That's unfortunate. It's a completely dated interior at the point. I drive a 2020 A6 and although I don't really like the car,it at least has a slightly updated interior. I was really hoping for a change with the 2023 Q5.
Nice vehicle no doubt, Audi u have to open the center console\armrest lid & leave it up to sit ur drink down, wow that's a jacked up system there definitely!
For me the central console is an issue. Audi just patched it on the rush from rotary/writing button to today useless holes. Hopefully this will be re-designed next year as compared with X3 is far less usefull and ergonomic
@@snowboarderskier5888I live in the Bay Area too I see a genesis here and there. Obviously you will see more audi because it has existed for longer and the exterior are so similar it’s hard to tell between old and new Audis.
It's a solid choice in the Sportback version. I am upset that the little grey box behind the gear shift does not have a cover, as shown in promo photos. It's always the little things.
Nice car. I considered the Q5 Premium Plus but bought a BMW X3 instead. I like the Q5, especially the body style, but the car doesn't have a lot of panache.
@carconfections Great stuff guyz. Since you mentioned Audi Q5 will be redesigned (mainly from interior) from 2024 in this video. Could you please confirm if it is from Audi official or you are anticipating?
Thanks! We are anticipating a redesign based on the spy shots of a new model driving around and the number of years it's been on sale (since 2018). But nothing official yet
Thank you for the reply. I am planning to buy this or BMW X3, not sure if its worth waiting another year 🫣. Already waited for almost 2 years since the pandemic started😌. Since my friends told no point in buying new car and keeping in garage 😊
Because Kia and Hyundai are Korean companies, who is one of the largest semiconductor producer in the world. They have better access to the chips, but even they aren't immune. Hyundai for example has gotten rid of their Highway Drive Assist II system temporarily in their Genesis vehicles because of the shortage.
Wish you mentioned how the poorly the car coasts when lifting foot off accelerator. To me a notable difference as compared to 2021 and earlier. Apparently to increase efficiency and fuel economy they have incorporated a mild hybrid braking(48v battery) that is annoyingly intrusive. Wish I had my 2018 back.
I'm not a fan of this whole center console looking like a freaking tablet glued to the dash. Lazy and not sleek at all. Obtrustive. Why is this popular now? Acura, Lexus, Audi they all do it now.
Wait the wireless charging pad is INSIDE the armrest? That is the dumbest design decision I've ever seen. And those cupholders make it look like Audi hates their customers.
This is the never mind SUV. I'll take a Kia Sportage hybrid. I really wish you would compare these to other vehicles of their class when you do these single reviews. I'm not learning really anything about how they compare to other vehicles, as to how great they are compared to the last generation or whatever
@@trletts price range yes, but how mercdes has designed the glb is that it is more configured and more spacious the the glc kinda like the q5 that why I would I think it is fair to do such comparison
Hi Enrique, thanks for your quote/heads up about mess after 120k miles. I still drive (and love) my 11 years old Q5 Quattro reaching about 80k this week. So far engine has been solid. Happy with Q5 built quality, driving pleasure and smoothness. Miss fire was happend once in 40k miles but the technician fixed the things easily. Other than that - what I consider major replacements - were air mass flow (AMF) sensor and AC fan assy. Just last week I replaced noisy front wheel bearings. All in all, annual maintenance cost is @avg of $900 ($10k in total). Would you please be more specific about your experience with Q5 beyond 120k issues ? Thanks in advance.
@@ssudarso Lots of things to be aware of: Timing belts at suggested mileage 70k-80k. My Audi has experienced oil leaks: oil housing, valve cover, oil pan (before 150k). Typical stuff: water pump, spark plug/wires/, alignments, battery, etc, After 140k: Fuel: PCV Valve, MAF sensor, Oxygen sensor, throttle cleaning, rear fuel pump, front high pressure pump with cam follower. Surprises: motor mounts, new shocks. The new one for me now at 163,000 is lower turbo hose making car smoke and a lot of fuel consumption. Fuel injectors seem good. Turbo seems good but probably going bad too. Because of all these issues I'm sure they are damaging my muffler and catalytic converter. Also experiencing lack of alerts so relays or some sensors might be bad. Have experienced limp mode and other 4WD issues. My car is clean and maintained well but has had all these issues I haven't seen in my family's Toyotas at this mileage. I would say do not keep Audi's past 130k as all the issues will come at you at once. And at 135k it's still running well enough to transfer to another owner willing to take on those repairs. I don't drive crazy so I haven't had issues with wheel bearings but on my Jetta one wheel came off on the freeway. (80K mileage).
We just leased a 2023, it has not been a great car so far, not happy with the service and the issues and now one of the parking assist sensors went out and not under warranty, a $700 plus repair because it has a nick in it the size of a pinhead. The car is 3 weeks old. besides this its already been in the shop for other issues and was there for 3 days, this happened after the first week. our 4th Audi and we also had 3 VW's from the VW/Audi group so really dissapointed they are not taking care of us. Time to move on to other brands
this is a crossover you don't want to drive in Canada because of extreme winter conditions. I absolutely hate my 2019 Q5 quattro system. The quattro system fails every time when driving on snow and ice. So I drive it in off-road mode during winter and comfort mode in Summer. These cars are never meant for Canadian road conditions. I'll never buy an Audi again. It isn't a premium car anymore. I wish they go back to the Torsen differential and ditch Haldex. Stay away from quattro system, Canadians. It's not a full time AWD car anymore.
This car is great value for a luxury car, but the interior needs a refresh it is starting to look dated and boring.
Agreed.
When Kia has you beat, you're in trouble 😆
Benz GLC: what u mean?
You are the type that likes the A6 all touch interior which is rated the worst designed interior in the world.
