2023 Audi Q5 Premium Plus

The 2023 Q5 is Audi's compact luxury SUV, slotting between the Q3 and Q7 and competing with the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. The Q5 handles with a composed, planted feel, and the steering is accurate, making it enjoyable on winding roads. Inside, the Q5 offers a posh cabin with high-quality materials, supportive seats, and a user-friendly infotainment system. Cargo space is below average for the class, but the rear seats fold flat to expand utility when needed. The bigger screen and standard leather seats set the Premium Plus apart from the Premium trim below it. Its 2.0L I4 makes 201 horsepower and pairs with a seven-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, returning 25 mpg combined. This trim can be ordered as a plug-in hybrid, which swaps the standard gas engine for a more efficient powertrain.
