2023 Audi Q5 Sportback Review

[@independent174]

I bought the sportback Q5 Premium Plus and I just love it

[@Mu7u298]

I just received my Audi Q5 sportback with black optic package , daytona gray exterior with 21 inch sport wheel . Ohh my god , it’s soo sexy.

Those who can afford it, it's a good choice in its class. Though like all BMWs, likely best to lease it instead of buying. An Audi that's out of warranty can become a troubling thing.

leasing any car is bad

[@dauntlessasmr7910]

@@eternalhoursrblx7405 Would normally agree with you regarding _most_ brands. But you definitely don't want to get stuck with out-of-warranty repair bills *when* a BMW or (even worse) Land Rover breaks down. Not a question of "if." Other brands, mostly expensive German ones, also fall into this category. You could buy, and then immediately sell off a car after about 3 years or when it hits a certain mileage. Whichever comes first. But you'd lose far too much money on that sort of transaction compared to leasing one of those vehicles and giving it back to the dealership at the end of the warranty period. No worries, the dealerships have zero problems finding sad posers who simply must play pretend and show off how successful they are in Life by riding around in a 3 year-old (or even older) BMW. Let those geniuses bankrupt themselves when their older Luxury vehicles break down, and they get the first repair bill that they have to pay themselves.

All cars out of warranty are a troubling thing--the owners has to be ready financially to take care of expenses.

[@dauntlessasmr7910]

@@divinefem777 Some less troubling than others, depending on the brand.

I must be in the single digit percentile of people who can fix one of these and afford one too.

Why wasn’t this compared specifically to the BMW X4 and a Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe?

[@mdmarty]

Put the transmission in S mode or use the dynamic drive setting to get rid of the initial acceleration lag. The matrix LED headlights are jaw dropping and my favorite part of this car. Need to get the prestige trim though.

[@ameet6384]

I can't believe the reviewer missed the drive modes impact on the pickup speed & directly called out the vehicle kind a slow...

[@ameet6384]

So apart from the sloping roof & different base engine in the SportBack Q5, is there no other difference compared to the regular Q5?

[@gearmatch]

I decided to get the Q5 regular instead of the Sportback. I’ve owned a q3 Sportback for the last 3 years and I have to admit - practicality take a hit on long roadtrips for the sake of vanity. Needless to say , visibility does take a hit as well. Here is Switzerland, cars are expensive and I paid around 68k Swiss francs after all discounts. I leased it for 4 years.

I hate those taped on looking screens. A screen needs its own recessed slot

[@quoththeraven7]

I like it! It's just missing the exposed exhaust pipes. the flat bottom steering wheel and the black Audi symbols Rings.

If you use the sport mode it would be responsive

[@neildesposito1492]

Very informative video, great job

[@BocaAtractivo82]

I will always choose Audi's ICE vehicles because there are so much aftermarket parts support, there is a large community forum base for help, tuner friedly, lots of easy DIYs (oil changes that you can do every 5k miles, spark plug & coils,etc.) to save you money post warranty. that you do not need to purchase Audi Care plans, parts are cheaper than BMW.

[@bustermv]

Great review!

[@Kiss__Kiss]

I purchased the S4 but, If I was to do it again? I would buy the SQ5. Not because I need the space, but because it's such a good looking SUV within the price range.

[@Mikezagato15]

SQ5 solves everything

[@timhanser1943]

Thanks , liked and subbed .

[@damham5689]

Coupe "sports back" like is old school. Go google Plymouth Deluxe Slope Back. My grandparents had a green one. We called it the turtle. Ive always liked the "sports back" look.

[@AR-1806]

Hard plastic in the back of a Q5, really Audi?!!!

[@naveenthemachine]

CarGurus you think it’s not great but you’d be surprised. Besides you can do so much worse than this in just about every way😂. Compare that to this and the q5 sport back is better

These are gross. Rent or lease them. Service is expensive and awful. 🤮
