AUDI Q5 2.0 Turbo FSI Quattro Reviews

          The Audi Q5 suspension provides a feeling of solid control. Even on tight curves and cloverleaf freeway ramps we can maintain speeds enough to trigger just a spurt of adrenalin without excessive lean. With fully independent front five-link geometry and rear trapezoidal-link and steel coil springs all around, the talented Audi engineers have tuned it just about right for a balance of performance, handling and comfort. Folks who regularly ply rough, pitted roads might find it a bit stiff but the nearly 8 inches of ground clearance will serve them well on those roads. Even with all-wheel drive it’s not meant to be an off-roader (no skid plates, for instance) but will serve well on snow, mud and other bad roads

      

        Now, back to the car at hand, the fun, attractive, upscale Audi Q5 compact crossover first introduced as a 2009 model using a new platform called MLP, for Modular Longitudinal Platform. The 5-passenger Q5 slots between the larger, 3-row seat Q7 and the soon-to-be-introduced Q3, which will be based on the Volkswagon Tiguan. (Tiguan, by the way, has been substantially updated and will be the basis of our upcoming road trip story exploring Lake Tahoe. Watch for that one in October.)
