Audi Q5 SUV 2017 review | Mat Watson Reviews

- Audi was kind enough to fly me to sunny Mexico to review the new Audi Q5, so I can give you guys the load down on the updated SUV! The Q5 acquires striking new looks but have Audi updated the original characteristics that made the Q5 so popular with family buyers? Do rivals such as the Mercedes GLC or the brand new Jaguar F-Pace, outclass the Q5 when it comes to interior and driving style as the previous edition of Audi's Q5 was criticised for its lifeless steering. So, sit back and relax as I give you all my thoughts on the brand new Audi Q5!

The quality in these reviews just keep getting better and better. Praise to Mat for the excelence in communication but also to his Carwow team for the outstading cinematography. Carwow is one year old and is already miles ahead from the competition (RIP Carbuyer).
Aw thanks!
The trip part was the best 😂😂😂
That interior is absolutely stunning! Exterior looks great as well! Audi sure knows how to make a great all around package.
Also, excellent review as always!
Viktor Jakobsson Audi Fanboy? Its an horrible car
it is an amazing car lol you have no taste in class.
So im a fanboy because I appreciate a good car from a premium brand? Sounds about right.
What do you drive?
@@livc444111ok buddy what car do you think is good?
Seriously, your review quality is on a stellar level now.
And all paid by a UK website, noone in the rest of the world cares for ^^
The quality of this montage is in the level of top gear. I watched it on my 32' curved monitor with my eyes popped. Congrats, well done. I just wish you could tell some downsides as well. But I understand, its a commercial, so you can't. :)
+Tadas I said the economy wasn't quite what was claimed, the design is the same as before and it has crap fake exhausts. Also said the Land Rover was better for practicality. Oh and that despite the claim it's sporty it lacks a fun factor. Oh and its expensive and Audi stings you on options. Plus google maps wont work without a data connection. This was NOT a commercial. If it had been Audi would have fired me!
The defense rests
A chemistry degree too? Matt, I thought you were an accountant before you decided to review cars.
®ioT somethings a bit fishy Looool
®ioT he must have really hated being a chemistry teacher or an accountant
Most people with an ACA did a degree beforehand. It's a pretty standard career path to become an accountant.
I just finished my chemistry degree and realised i really wanna do what you do, a motoring journalist, any tips matt?
yeah, don't work for Johnson & Johnson
Haha
love the 0-60. run in this video! thats the only thing i had been missing in your previous video! great Job Mat!
No mentioning the seats don't fold flat, no interior flick test, not interior practicality test, etc... Not a fan of sponsored videos like this.
Ducky0nQuack I think he was pretty fair. New Audis have awesome tech and great build quality but are still just not that exciting - and this is what I got from his review. Personally I'm driving a Passat and I'm not sure zI could ever buy one, since I can see the same damn parts everywhere. I absolutely love the RS6, but you can't escape the feeling you're just sitting in a posher VW.
Pretty sure you'll get the in depth review once a UK car is available.
+Ducky0nQuack I will do the usual review when I get the car in the UK. However, this wasn't some sponsored content. I said the economy wasn't quite what was claimed, the design is the same as before and it has crap fake exhausts. Also said the Land Rover was better for practicality. Oh and that despite the claim it's sporty it lacks a fun factor. Oh and its expensive and Audi stings you on options.
carwow Go Mat, go Mat!!
carwow I appreciate the reply and am looking forward to the usual review.
Love this style of reviewing cars. Pretty original and to the point with a hint of comedy.
like the 0-60 in this video. You should do this for all your reviews please
😂😂😂 my god Matt your reviews are so good! congrats to the team I can see you really had a blast in Mexico
5:40 I wonder why it's still worth mentioning that the adaptive cruise control can steer and keep the distance to the car in front of you automatically. My 2013 Audi A3 can do that as well, and it hasn't been advertised back then....If you DIDNT have to keep your hands on the wheel, maybe that would be something new and worth advertising, but this really is old news
Great review Mat. I had the previous gen model and the clutch needed replacing after 25,000 miles. Audi said it was my driving style but a quick look on the internet and it seemed that lots Q5's needed clutch replacements.
footballgeorgiebest No, It is your driving style. The Q5 is class leader in sales number, so you can imagine that there is a lot of drivers like you are.
I drive Q5 S-tronic, my brother Q5 with manual and his car now has almost 250k kilometers, nothing changed.
WOW Matt has taken it to another level
Another great video, Matt. It's always easy to tell that you are not paid by the manufacturer's as you always highlight the "not so good bits".
Sadly the 0-60 time is with the launch control, that you didnt use properly since you got to turn off the traction control
Audi and WV builds and buy all cheap components all over the world (in poor countries most)and then sell cars expensive as they are build in center of Munich
You just described capitalism and globalization for 95% of all luxury brands. Congratulations. Did you realize that Intel, Nvidia, Apple, Samsung, AMD, etc. all have their chips manufactured in poor countries like Taiwan, China, etc.? Are those all crappy companies too then?
BestJinjo yes they are!! they go to poor countries not for help them then for use them and get more work/parts for less money
Audi is more luxurious than bmw but less than Merc.
Taiwan isn't really a poor country
And buying a better cpu doesn't mean you'll get dramatic increase in graphic performance. You'll need a good gpu.
The best car in the class. Interior and exterior, they are both stuning.
can you do a review of "the wall" since you're already in Mexico?
hahaha bravo to usa
Love your reviews Matt, but no mention of rivals like Lexus, aside from the obvious German rivals too?
But the light in Mexico is unbelievable! This looks like a movie shot on film!
Compare it to Mercedes glc and the BMW X3
Problem is the X3 is pretty much ancient now. Need to wait for the new gen then we'll have a proper comparison.
Island DouGie x3 is too old, better fpace or macan
Q5 is really best SUV on the market. matt, your reviews are among the best.
I don't like sponsored videos, where's the "5 things that you hate" part?
When an automaker launched a new car and invites you to see it, you can't really say anything you want about it, or they'll get pissed. So, you have to be nice, until you get one at home and can do a proper review.
When we go on launches we can only take one camera crew - when we film in the UK we have to crews to do the extra bits, so we do a different style of review for launches. Once we get a Q5 in the UK we'll do the usual full test.
+Protector of the Republic I said the economy wasn't quite what was claimed, the design is the same as before and it has crap fake exhausts. Also said the Land Rover was better for practicality. Oh and that despite the claim it's sporty it lacks a fun factor. Oh and its expensive and Audi stings you on options. Other than that it's a great car.
Please don't forget another Audi Q5 (Gen 2) vs BMW X3 G01 vs Mercedes GLC once all those cars are available. Clever video Carwow!
Still, pretty tame criticisms, but to be fair a lot more than other reviewers mention, who generally only praise the car in this type of videos. You're better. But let's be honest. You can't be rude about the car in any significant way, even if it were crap, or you won't get invited to the next launch by Audi. Not that an Audi would be crap, but I'm just saying...it's usually not done. I still love you Matt. You're among my top 10 favorite car reviewers.
Carwow great vid will u pleaseeeee do the Renault captur that would be great!! Ps good review as always
Forget the car, this video featured Matt in his underwear. Love it.
And your name is Charles? Good grief.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@africanandproud6792 so what??
@@nigelmtb what have I done now?. You guys though, I can’t even remember what I said or why you are responding with , so what ?🤣🤣🤣
I've been coming back here only for this which gives me an instant 🍆
Love your reviews Mat, one of the best on YT! Informative and amusing. The only thing I could use is one more figure apart from 0-60, consumption etc.... and that is the boot capacity. Keep up the good work, cheerz!
I look forward to Saturday when I get the opportunity to drive the all new Q5 too. Can't wait to test the new air suspension and the next gen. quattro called quattro-ultra. Good Video guys! Greetings from the Lake of Constance, Niko
wow, nice miniature effect at 5:35
Like the sharper evolutionary styling, don't fix what isn't broken in the first place. The interior is where it did need a hefty update and it got it, classy stuff.
haha love the eating random plant scene. great video!
Hahaha 5:30 these review are becoming more interesting the more i watch keep it up Mat. Also wheres my figer test ? are you done harming yourself for viewer enjoyment?
5:33 Mat in his tights whities! This video made me smile!
and makes me 🍆
the dizzy part was really funny :D nice review mate.
Great Video Review of one the best SUV's
only saying positive sides. is it a matt watson style ?
hahaha, the breaking bad example was good!
5:50 OMG 😂
Optional sliding and reclining rear seats. Ridiculous. Our 2004 crv has that stock. Car options are going backwards.
LOl @ the trippy bits ...took me back to the 90`s ;P
You really love reviewing the Q5 matt
The only reason I like watching these car reviews is because of Matt !
I always count on you for reviews...
here 5 years later... it's 14k€. so it's now 1/3 of the original price.
What 14k??? Used Q5 is around 50k here in Finland.
British humor bloody funny mate! Great review also!!
Mat i love all your funny bits in your videos.
The video was at a whole new level
WOW!!
Very scientific equipment you've got there:)))
Loving the content! Is it possible to do a Bentley Bentayga vs Range Rover, and a Bentley mulasanne review.
Loving the reviews keeping it up
love this test driver!! so much beter than The rest of your chanel!!!
It's just annoying that the premium plus doesnt have the updated mmi system
Awesome as always Matt!
sorry Mat, there aren´t cacti everywhere in Mexico. FYI
Matt Mexico it's 15 times larger than England, of course there are zones without cellphone signal... (3:22)
Don't ever break bad, Mat. You're too good at what you do :)
Audi are making the best daily cars, the most practical, best engines, quality, technology is easy to use.
except when they break down, which they do, quite often...
anarxikos50 quite untrue. Dad had an a8 and mom had an s5. Only problem with the a8 in 6 years was the boot motor that failed in the final year he had the car. My mom had zero problem in the passed 3 years. Im not joking, she never went to the garage except for oil change maintenance.
The only reason he changed from audi to mercedes is because i work for mercedes.
Unless you need the room, the Audi allroad is a superior choice.
4:33 same road? audi A8 video was in UK and this is Mexico . . .
that drug joke is the reason why i love mat review
once again - great review Matt :-)
CarWow went from Slog to a full vibrant LUT😂👍🏼👍🏼
S log 4 lyf. Or so we've been told
Nice review, (and funny)! Have always like the Q5. Now that much better...
made in mexico? does it come with a sombrero or sun shades?
Ha ha ha...
ed tyler of course they are included..!!! And our love too..!!!
"drug drive"? Lol. This was Mat's best review yet. Didn't know he had a chemistry degree, that's pretty cool.
Did you forget your socks Matt 😂
no comment at 1:00....................
How come you never talk about the poor weight balance of the car or chassis design and underbody quattro system layout etc. ?
+Kyle do you think people who buy these cars care? Or are they more interested in comfort, tech and brand?
How about an SQ5 mat?? Haven’t seen a review of that ??!!
oh you're a watson?
i'd try to make a joke about it in every video.
I like your creativity
This is when LED headlights sound like LSD headlights...
Why compare the Q5 with Land Rover Discovery Sport, a car that breaks down anytime? Just check out all the faults on the LR at Honest John.
is this more popular than subaru forrester ?
i'd rather the XC90. Really well done on the video Matt
LogicTech but xc90 is the rival for the q7
Chewbee_S he means he can get the XC90 for the "price" of a Q5
There's a colour grading issue at 1.48. The look cuts out before the edit to the next shot. Great video otherwise!
You never mentioned how big the boot was
+Fernando C big enough. Or 550 litres if you can visualise that
"Can decouple the rear wheels" == they messed up the best feature of the Audi, the permanent all wheel drive torsen quattro and changed it to something vastly inferior for minimal fuel economy gain claims called "uberquattro". What was the last year when Q5 that was built with real torsen permanent quattro?
Looks amazing I think hate the fake exhaust though
tanafc96 to be honest, i think it's a fake exhaust because it's the diesel model.
I'm pretty sure the 2L petrol engine will have real ones. I think it's still better than having nothing.
the new 5 series review please Matt
Lets hope they fixed the mechatronic issues with this one..
Mat, what phone are you using? If you don't mind
IMO, Audi Q5 is the best mid size SUV out there. Amazing tech compare to BMW X3, Mercedes GLC, Porsche Macan. Performance isn't a priority in SUV. 8.1 second to 60mph is fine. You are not taking to track or drag race for cry out loud.
VW T Roc or Mini Countryman S or Q5 or Q3 or X2 or X3?
A lot to like but how does it measure up to the equivalent Macan ? Anything like Macan GTS?
Mat is a god when it comes to car reviews. Also not complaining or opposed to seeing him in his underwear ;)
nice car
Waiting for the xc60.
2018 Q5 vs 2018 allroad, which one would you pick and why? Please and thank you! =)
Matt, what is the app you use as a sound meter and the app for measuring vibrations? Thanks.
so let see if i understand I only have navigation by google maps if i have internet connective ?!! thats why i love my tomtom nav on my fiat tipo 2016 work fine and is slick as well :D
Why don't they use 2.0 240 horsepower diesel engine, that is used on some VW models, such as Tiguan and Passat?
VW has to use that engine because theese cars wont fit the 6 cylinder engines and drive train.
Digi20 I didn't ask why VW should use, I asked why Audi don't use. It's regular 4 cyl engine.
well thats the point, they dont have to use that 4 cyl one because they can fit the more refined 6 cyl ones in.
Digi20 It doesn't make sense. 6 cyl is dead. They use 4 cyl engines in Europe and engines are shrinking every year. I suspect it's about reliability. 240HP output is high a bit. Maybe they don't want to put those engines in premium models to keep them safe for a while. After engine proves itself, they might use it in their premium brands.
Mat Watson, Chemist, at your service.
I remember you once claimed to be an accountant.
I am.
And you have a degree in chemistry as well ??? And a motoring journalist??? Wow you are brilliant Mat
carwow perfect setup for breaking bad then.
Please do a review of any skoda😀
Great review!
what is with taillgate sensor?It doesn't work every time when you want open taillgate without hands.
+carwow , which one do you think is better, the audi q5 or merc glc
matt, you cracked the screen of your phone 😱
wait, you're still taking VW's trip computer seriously? like the the 1.4 TSI Tiguan that was supposed to be making 7lt/100km while the real figure was 13lt/100km ???
