RE: Audi Q5 Full Road Test & Review | Planet Auto

in #cars6 years ago

Completely overpriced car. Italian automotive best journal tested one at 80K euros, and it wasn't even full optionals.
The list of package and stuff to be payed it's just absurd, as it is to pay for a proper climate or a BLIS system in 2018 on a luxury car.
And what about the fact that the basic model and the top notch share the same plastic? Come on... @planetauto

Sort:  

Not when compared to the competition, it’s priced similarly - what did you think of the model you drove, was it quattro ?

I hadn't the opportunity to drive one yet. It seems to be the most balanced and best in driving dinamycs, yet I still think that doesn't stand out as an SUV in one direction.
Compare it to the XC60, the base equipment of the Volvo is just on another level (like the Sensus as as a standard) and with the Inscription model you get optionals that costs thousands and thousands of money in the Audi (full leather ventilated massaged seats and so on).
I just feel that the upmarket luxury SUV, mid to big size, has a lot more rivals than before, when it was basically Germans-or-bust.

Most certainly, take the Stelvio, amazing machine, Volvo make some very versatile machines, interested in driving the XC40 - the interior on the Q5 was outstanding luxurious and very comfortable, quattro is very good and I do prefer the new shape, rounded works better. Currently got a Jeep Renegade that’s fun, luxurious and quite capable too. The more SUVs the better chance of greater choice at good prices.
