EXPERTS CONCLUDE
The 2009 Audi Q5 was
the German automaker's first compact SUV. Coming so late to the party, the Q5
hit the ground running, offering state-of-the-art multimedia and upscale
amenities one would expect from a premium SUV. The 2012 Audi Q5 is an
eye-catching 5-passenger SUV that takes its styling cues from its older
sibling, the Q7. While it's not the ideal SUV for large families, the Q5's
sophisticated design and nimble driving characteristics ensure its place as a
top contender in the highly contested luxury SUV segment.
You'll Like This Car
If you seek a compact
luxury SUV and striking exterior styling is your primary demand, look no
further than the 2012 Audi Q5. The interior layout is simple, yet elegant.
Navigating tight spots is an effortless task thanks to the Q5's compact
dimensions and relatively tight turning radius.
What's New for 2012
For 2012, the V6
models add a sleek S line package with titanium-finished 20-inch 5-spoke
wheels, matte black roof rails, and window frames. The top-of-the-line Q5
Prestige model offers new rear-window sunshades, perfect for keeping your
rear-seat passengers comfortable in the summertime.
Driving It
Driving Impressions
A satisfying balance
of ride comfort and dynamic handling has traditionally required compromises on
both sides of the equation, but technology continues to rewrite the rules.
While the BMW X3 and Lexus RX 350 hold down the segment's extreme positions on
the sport-comfort spectrum, respectively, the 2012 Audi Q5 offers a range of
proficiency that approaches both ends. And that range is delivered by more than
just the powertrain and suspension, but also by the outward visibility and
ergonomics, and the "driving sensation" we consistently highlight
when talking about European cars. The Q5 also adds a dose of customization to
the driving experience when outfitted with its category-exclusive "Audi
drive select" feature - highlighted in the Favorite Features section of
this review.

Select
At the push of a button, Q5 drivers can adjust the engine, transmission and
steering characteristics to satisfy their personal preferences. Modes include
Comfort, Automatic, Dynamic and Individual, which allows a custom-tailored
setting on navigation-equipped models.
Audi Dynamic Steering
In a tight parking lot, you want a lot of steering assist and response. When
bombing down the autobahn, you want subtle directional changes and a calm steering
response. With Audi dynamic steering, the 2012 Q5 has variable assist and
variable ratio, delivering the best of both worlds. The system can even provide
minor steering corrections in extreme situations, reducing the need for
electronic stability program intervention.
Vehicle Details
Interior
The 2012 Audi Q5's
visually striking exterior is nearly eclipsed by its brilliant interior
architecture. The layout is polished and classy, with precise construction and
excellent fit and finish. The 12-way power front seats offer a host of
configurations to accommodate an array of body types. The rear seats feature a
versatile 40/20/40 split design and provide ample legroom and headroom. Audi is
leading the way when it comes to innovative in-vehicle multimedia. The
available feature-packed navigation system is controlled by Audi's intuitive
MMI terminal and includes 3D building graphics, DVD player and two SD card
slots.
Exterior
Although the compact
luxury SUV segment offers a variety of stylish choices, the 2012 Audi Q5 is the
clear winner when it comes to innovative design. In line with Audi's current
design language, the Q5 features the distinctive Singleframe grille design,
clean lines and of course, Audi's infamous LED daytime running lights. The Audi
Q5's perfect height and large alloy wheels create a muscular stance once
reserved for sports cars. We also like the Q5's sedan-like LED taillights and
unique "clamshell" power liftgate.
Notable Standard
Equipment
Every 2012 Audi Q5
features plush leather seating, power front seats with 4-way lumbar support for
those extended road trips, 3-zone climate control, multi-function steering
wheel to help keep your eyes on the road, and a 10-speaker audio system with
SiriusXM Satellite Radio. Standard safety equipment includes six airbags along
with electronic stability control that adjusts for a higher center of gravity
when it detects the roof-rack crossbars are in place.
