2018 - 2020 Audi Q5 How to Oil Change & Maintenance light reset.
2021 - Now 2nd Gen (80A) Facelift
2018 - 2020 2nd Gen (80A)
Pros
If you want a smaller luxury SUV with excellent overall driving manners, standard all-wheel drive, gee-whiz technology and active safety features like automatic emergency braking, the 2018 Audi Q5 checks every box. The new SQ5 includes all that, and adds a dose of faster to the mix.
Cons
There’s no hybrid or diesel version of the Q5, so luxury fuel sippers will need to look at the Mercedes-Benz GLC for their savings. The Acura RDX and Lexus NX have lower starting prices. The performance-oriented SQ5 model is fun, but nicely equipped models come close to the $70,000 mark.
Interior Comfort
As with other Audis, the new Q5 and SQ5 offer up a 2-row/5-passenger interior at the intersection of contemporary design, cutting-edge technology and premium amenities. It’s sleek yet handsome, and thankfully not overwhelmed with buttons. One of the highlights is the optional Virtual Cockpit, which turns the instrument cluster into a customizable 12.3-inch digital display that can show everything from the expected — speed and mpg — to the gee-whiz, such as realistic Google Maps. At 37.8 inches, rear legroom is good, as is cargo volume of over 60 cubic feet with the 40/20/40-split seats folded. The front seats are supportive, a benefit for longer commutes.
Favorite Features
AUDI PRE SENSE SAFETY SYSTEMS
The 2018 Q5 and SQ5 come standard with both “basic” and “city” versions of this system. The first prepares the vehicle for an impact by closing windows and pre-tensioning safety belts. The second can detect other cars and pedestrians, and apply the brakes at up to 52 mph to mitigate or lessen an impact.
PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM
We’re suckers for a sweet audio system, and the latest Q5 and SQ5 SUVs offers an ear-popping one with its optional Bang & Olufsen setup. With 16 speakers pumping out 755 watts from a variety of sources — including “old-school” compact discs — it’s bound to enhance any drive.
Standard Features
The 2nd-gen Audi Q5 is available in three trims: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. The base Premium model is nicely equipped, even for a luxury-crossover SUV, with standard features like leather interior, tri-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility, power-operated front seats, HomeLink garage-door opener and power tailgate. As mentioned in Favorite Things, the Q5 also includes impressive safety systems. The standard 10-speaker/180-watt audio system has an AM/FM and HD Radio, CD player and USB and SD card inputs, along with Bluetooth connectivity. A 7-inch center infotainment display and rearview camera are also included.
Factory Options
If you can swing it, we recommend the mid-trim Q5 Premium Plus with blind-spot monitoring, hands-free tailgate, heated front seats with driver’s seat memory, full LED lights and panoramic sunroof. This trim opens the door to further options. The top-line Q5 Prestige adds the Virtual Cockpit, navigation system, Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, top-view camera system with parking sensors, head-up display, 8.3-inch center screen, and 20-inch wheels. The Q5 can be upgraded with heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, adaptive damping suspension and a driver-assistance package that bundles adaptive cruise control, active lane-keeping assist, traffic-sign recognition, and automatic high-beam control.
Engine & Transmission
The 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine in the Q5 comes standard with a 7-speed dual-clutch S tronic transmission. That transmission routes power to all four wheels through quattro all-wheel drive, standard equipment on all Q5 models. The sophisticated system enhances fuel efficiency by powering the front wheels when possible, and instantly shift up to 100 percent of the power to the rear wheels as needed, so lightning-fast that you’ll likely never notice it working. The SQ5 packs 102 more horsepower from its turbocharged 354-horsepower V6 engine, which comes connected to a Tiptronic 8-speed automatic transmission.
