Heads up Display and the front facing camera are options. It looks like you went for the base package and are not completely happy with your decision. Not having the touch screen is one of the reasons i love my Audi's. The next remake will have the touch screens. All Audis are now moving to a touch screen. IMO they are a distraction and are dangerous as it takes your eyes off the road.

It was a used car, I didn't spec it all out. I have a scroll wheel in my car and I like it in my Q5, I'd probably prefer it over the touch screens. I hate the finger prints too.

I am fine with the Q5 with fake exhaust, because I have a S5 as well, (My Wife has the Q5) those tips get black carbon build up all the time, if they are not chrome, I wont be bother, but I have to clean them every car wash, and its a pain.. The SQ5 exhaust sounds very nice and with them being hidden, you dont have to clean them all the time. I am fine with fake exhaust if it still sound good. Its not expensive to purchase aftermarket tips when you upgrade your exhaust later. 2. HUD wise, its OK, because the VC (Virtual Cockpit) made up for it 100% I hated the Mazda HUD that project on a flimsy plastic. The only thing I say about the VC is its too bright at night. 3. No touch screen. Coming from a S5, I am used to the MMI control, I like the non touch screen setup so that my screen wont cover with finger prints, just like the exhaust tips I have to clean them often (Im OCD like that). I can see people who came from Touch Screen Infotainment will complain with lacking the feature. 4. What was 4? oh Front facing cam.. That feature is pretty much useless unless you love to go off road and Rock Climb (which the Q5 is not made for). if you are worry about hitting the front bumper. The Sonar parking sensor is available for that reason. 5. Funny Gas Paddle feel which is a by product of a DCT. the feeling of the Transmission can varies. But I would not worry about it when the Q5 shifts like a Porsche. Oh I am from Camp Hill PA.. Hello neighbor.

I've always found that buying a vehicle mid-product cycle is frustrating. What I mean is that there will always be newer vehicles which showcase the latest technologies that Audi have developed and you'll be left wondering why it hasn't made it into your vehicle. In your case the new Q5 was released in 2017 and will be updated again later in 2020. The 3D camera system on the e-Tron, Q8 and A8 will eventually trickle down as an option into the Q5 but you would have to wait until the next product cycle. As for the heads-up display you have to realise that premium badge cars are all about upgrades; only the A8 comes with a heads-up display as standard. If you want it you will need to add and pay for it. This is not something that is unique to Audi or even German cars - even a $100k Range Rover Vogue will come without adaptive cruise control or a heads-up display. You might ask why they do this? The answer is simple - they know you will pay! With all that said, if you've got virtual cockpit I don't think a heads-up display is necessary.

Kapish sharma The noise I hear when you first start at under 10 mph I think is the AWD de-coupling and then I don’t think it does anything else unless you need traction for some reason. I think my service guy told me this. It’s a weird feeling, it’s like I feel like I almost need to press a little too hard before it does anything.

Thank you for your video. HUD and front facing camera are a part of Prestige package. You can also get lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and warm weather package that is optional for Prestige and gives you ventilated seats. I hated the fake exhaust tips until I got my Q5. Maybe they don't look the greatest but they are always clean and you will never see exhaust soot on them. I drive a lot and I was getting a lot of soot buildup in my previous cars and sometimes I had to wiped the exhaust off between the car washes so it doesn't bake onto the surface. So I take it as a plus. I agree with your issue/behavior when accelerating. I just got used to it.

I have the prestige package-- comes with heads up display and speed limit sign recognition--- Took ME awhile to figure out I would be going a LIL over speed limit and come to a slower speed limit sign and the car would BRAKE to get to new speed AND change the cruise control speed to match !! On the adaptive cruise too -- IF you come to a sloping turn-- the car will SLOW down!! I assume to make sure you are safely going to make it. Lastly-- I don't mind NOT having touch screen-- EXACTLY why when you said-- I won't touch it to avoid FINGERPRINTS!!

I do love the nimble handling and quick acceleration, but what I hate is the lack of useable storage (tiny glove box and console storage and no sunglasses hideaway). Even worse is the tray that either covers your drink holders or your console storage. It’s always in the way of something. And I hate that you have to take apart the whole back of the car and reprogram the computer to install a trailer hitch. No more $300 hitch install at the local UHaul for your bike rack. And the price gouging for service. $950 for a 40,000 mile checkup that is basically just oil, brake fluid, and ATF fluid changes?! I’ll be going back to Toyota or Acura for my next car.

Gas pedal kicks every time ca 10mph its normal. Some system activation. I hate trunk cover sliding mechanism and scratched around it. When the trunk is full it is really hard to close and hide what is inside. Try it at night... Why all of the US Q5s has got fake headlights washers? European has got washer system there... Interior storage is the problem too. Wireless charging plate is in terrible location you have to choose cap holder or access to the armrest storage. What else... Oh, the front license plate bracket for US rattles! All of the Q5 2018 - has got it! How is it possible that audi NA missed that?! I asked dealer to fix it and its ok now. One more thing is headlights status icon missing on digital cluster. A4 has it. It should be upgrated. I have to double check the lights when its raining. And... When you press MENU it goes to drive select, why? We have other buttons for it... Prestige is superb, but has got some issues as well. For example Line keeping assist is a nightmare. I love that car is in a middle of the lane, but have alarms and notification every 2 minutes. Sometimes even faster. On the highway its alerts passengers! In prestige I wish to have matrix lights and cool/warm front cup holders. And of course headlights washer system! I have to upgrade these one day:) The last thing is you can't close tailgate from inside or remote, why?! In other SUVs its possible... BTW, standard wheel alignment for Q5 with LKA and ACC is $600-$700 and is should be done every year... I also wanted to purchase cargo safety net or divider to seperate and secure during some transportation of bigger loads but... Guess what... Is it not available! So why there are holes for it in the headliner?

Is that what you are talking about? I was going to take it to the dealer, but if it is a normal feeling, I won't bother. Also, I like the map display in the virtual cockpit as well but I have to re-input it every time I turn the car on. Is there a way to have that display be the default so I don't need to change it every time? I also have to push that red engine button every time I start the car so my car won't "shut off" at every red light. Not crazy about that either. So many things to get used to!!!

Here u go. My gripes about my 2019 Audi Q5. 1) The climate control. Fan setting 3 and 4 is just too much of a leap in blower strength. And the cooling just doesnt feel that refreshing. And thats saying something since we live in a cooler climate of Canada. Hard to explain why. Maybe the vent positions? The Audi compressor? 2) The auto engine shut off. There is just too much of a delay when trying to get the car back going up to speed at a red light. 3) The automatic emergency back up brake sensor. It constantly misreads garbage cans and activates the emergency brakes when backing up. Sometimes even when there is nothing even around! The sound it makes is horrible noise when it does activate. 3) NOT ENOUGH STORAGE SPACE in the front. 4) the cupholders arent big enough. and rear seat cupholders are tiny and are so overly complicated as well. 5) no way for shorter people close the rear lift gate. my kids and shorter adults arent able to close it because the ONLY way to close it is by pressing a button high above on the rear door. that is one engineering flaw if you ask me. 6) Android MMI Interface. I dont know if this is an Audi issue. Android issue. or My phone. Its just awful.

1. I honestly don't use the blower at level 3 or 4 very much, so I can't speak to that. 2. I don't mind the stop/start tech, but my wife hates it. I did drive a newer 2020 Q3 and the engine came back to live SO much faster than in this car, so I think the technology has improved since this car was built in 2017. 3. It would be nice to have a net on the right side of the center stack for more storage, but it hasn't been an issue for me. 4. I agree with you about the cup holders, I wish they were bigger. 5. I also agree with the liftgate. My wife is 5'5, so she's been ok, but I could see how that would be annoying. 6. I'm an Apple guy, can't speak to Android. Sorry to hear that it sucks!

Fun review. As title states, “Things I Hate…), is personal, so not everyone will agree. I did read an article which spoke about the exhaust and it was one of the designers answering. He stated, the Q5 was focussed on European “female” purchase and focus group complained about dirt, exhaust on their dresses, coats when gaining entry to the rear”, thus the hidden exhaust”. They felt men would prefer the SQ5 for power and outside exhaust available. Sounded a bit weak, but plausible.

#1, fake exhaust tips (agreed) #2. Lack of touch screen (agreed), believe the design language was to not touch and smudge the screen. Audi listened to customer complaints and added touch screen to new models during the new revision years. The rest is normal. The weird peddle feel is because your Q5 is a dual clutch. The lack of front camera, top down camera and heads up display is simply because you did not buy the Prestige model which would have included, front camera, heads up display as well as top camera parking display. Your Mazda may have a heads up display however, do you love the Mazda, are the materials used the as of the same quality, is the Mazda as comfortable to drive, or as fun to drive? Premium options in premium cars cost more period.

This was my dream car until I went to test drive it. This is overall worse than an Acura RDX. The turbo lag is noticeable and start stop is way too aggressive. Plus back seat bump is too high and overall car has cheap feeling. I’m actually confused now why people buy this car at all

I preferred the general feel of the Q5 cockpit over the RDX which reminded me of a Santa Fe. The drive knob is too much of a central focus. The Q5 has a more classic feel which I believe is more calming and will hold up better with time than the futuristic RDX. Also the overall exterior view of the RDX bothers me

You're a Ben Hardy subscriber I'm venturing to guess. I hate that my 2013 Acura RDX doesn't have any exhaust tips either, not even fake ones! The 2019 RDX has Great Big pipes! Speaking of the RDX, have you had a chance to view it's interior? Far superior to your Audi, (Sorry, I know you said to withhold negative comments regarding your Audi), but it is designed after the NSX & is futuristic. Another vehicle that I recently saw reviewed was the 2020 MB GLC, pretty cool as well. I know your Audi is a year or two older than the aforementioned vehicles but your vehicle seems like 5 yrs behind as far as tech & design is concerned.
