Electric-only range and CO2 emissions have come down for both versions of the car, making them more competitive offerings on benefit-in-kind tax than they used to be. The 50 TFSIe plug-in hybrid is a particularly smooth operator, with its electric motor and 2.0-litre turbo petrol four-pot combining to produce just shy of 300bhp, while the 55 TFSIe ups that to pretty close to 400. The big-selling 40 TDI diesel version got a 14bhp power boost as part of that revision, and it remains a refined, comfortable, assertive-performing and easy-driving family car. The Q5 received a pretty wide-reaching facelift for 2020, with efficiency-boosted mild-hybrid engines going in under the bonnet, some new digital technology going into the cabin and wider a trapezoidal grille going onto the front end. And if you prefer your SUVs with a little more style and less utility, there's now a swoopy-roofed Sportback version as well. This shortcoming hasn’t prevented the Q5 from emulating the sales success of its predecessor, though, which was a car that became the best-seller in its segment in nearly every country in which it was offered.Īlthough a pricey option with a long options list, the Q5 is quiet, practical and desirable, with outstanding driving refinement and material finish.

It's hard to pick faults with such a classy and consummate all-rounder as the Audi Q5, although slightly anodyne handling is what will prevent it from really appealing to keener drivers. Many models are now available as tax-friendly plug-in hybrids, too, as manufacturers scramble to grab a bigger slice of the increasingly emissions-conscious fleet market.
