Never thought I would ever buy a 4 cylinder again and then I test drove this and purchased it. It is a mind blower. I drive an escalade and gives me all the bells and whistles. I am believer now in Audis. Great review.

I really love this All-new blue 2023 Audi Q5. Terrific job with your videos as always Ben.

They are wonderful vehicles to own. I've had a 2015 Q5 and I just got a 2023 Q5 with same options like the one showed in the video with only difference being that mine is gray.

One thing I want in the Q5 are these sport seats that your tester has. It is very hard to find a 22 or 23 Q5 with these seats. If I’m not mistaken with these seats come with the sport suspension, which makes you feel less of the road vs the ones with the regular seats.

Interesting no heated rear seats. It’s a German luxury car so I’m sure heated rear seats are a part of some $1500 “Cold Weather Package”. Meanwhile on a Hyundai Sante Fe…

Watching this on the big screen 🙌

Glad you reviewed this !

Great review on the Q5! Love the Audi!

How is the long term reliability for q5 compared to q3 ? And also are there big differences between the two ?

Is this the same as a standard premium plus q5? I see your test vehicle has the black optic and maybe some other options? The blue looks nice! Nice to know there’s not too much lag when accelerating. What kind of maintenance do you think I’d have to keep track of on this Audi? I used to have a German car then went Japanese but now want to go back to German or European car.

Audi put S-line on everything, but this is not a real full S-line package

Thanks for the review Ben!

The tag on your key fob says (2022) so which is it, is this a 22 or a 23 ? 2:37

I had a 2019 Q5 first year the belly pan fell off 3 times. The service department told me to use a twist tie to hold it up. He said it was stronger than the original way it was installed. Also on 5 k miles the oil light came on it needed oil 5 k miles earlier than service today be done. Then someone hit me the air bag went off of strong break both of my arms. BEWARE

German cars look and handle great. But long-term reliability is a concern for me. I've decided to go with the Korean GV70 3.5. I'm hoping it pans out.

How much over MSRP are Q5's going for now? I vowed that I would never pay over sticker for a new car, so I might be SOL for a while.

Next time put the right features of the car on intro ok? This is 55 q5 not q5 only.

I like Audis but I really really don’t like the Q5. It doesn’t do anything particularly exceptionally well. It’s too small for my tastes, not enough cargo room. The audio system sounds terrible, on screen menu navigation is almost cryptic compared to previous generations, auto start stop has an unpleasant shake when the gas engine shuts off , the center console controls are ever so slightly differently placed on each Audi model … drive mode select was just better leaving it alone… honestly only saving grace was the cluster display for the gauges ..: bright and vibrant. Couldn’t wait to give the service loaner back…

I think you should talk faster. 😉

Talks too fast

A much cheaper, more reliable Toyota Corolla will outlast any German vehicle. I know because I've owned both. German cars are nothing but money pits.
