My First Audi
I was actually looking for a sporty AWD wagon when I decided to test drive a Q5. I loved the way it drove and the technology package included with the trim level. It is a smooth drive with precise driving (for an SUV) and felt powerful when I wanted/needed it. I test drove a Volvo XC60, a Mercedes GLC and a BMW X3 and preferred the drive and cabin on the Audi much more than the others. After 2000 miles, all is well and it is easily returning 30-31 mpg on the highway trips I have taken. The lane holding and adaptive cruise control is new to me but definitely a ‘must-have’ feature from now on. Gripes? The fact that there is no oil dipstick freaks me out a bit (too old-school I guess). I think more interior storage would be nice. Everything is a little too small or in an awkward spot. I will update when I get more mileage.

Second Audi, even better than the first.
I have driven a new 2017 A4 with the new 2 liter engine and had a lot of satisfying experiences since that purchase. The new 2021 Q5 is simply a more refined and even better equipped SUV version of my old car. While not quite as quick, the engine pulls willingly and smoothly for me. It makes me feel very confident merging into traffic. I have come to truly appreciate the Quattro as more sure footed than 2WD and no wheel spin. The outside of my Audi is gorgeous Navarra Blue with black leather interior. The styling looks more refined now and good from every angle to me. The size feels just right. I don't need a lot of space and don't want the extra size of a larger SUV. The usual Audi interior styling is perfect for me, but I love the new larger touch screen, still getting used to that feature. For navigation along with the virtual cockpit it is the best. Controls are placed where I would expect to find them. I am getting to quickly appreciate the 360 degree view for parking and tight spaces. In a short period of time I have yet to use adaptive cruise control or lane keeping. First impressions of this SUV are all good for me and I am very glad of my purchase. Based on list price and features included it feels significantly better value than BMW X3 or Mercedes GLC. I was able to get a price that made me feel like I wasn't going to get better value for my auto shopping dollar. So I would definitely recommend giving the new Q5 a test drive.

Hoping for a software upgrade for the MMI
This car does not have a spare tire! I traded in my 2014 Audi Q5 (which I loved) for a 2021 Q5. The 2021 drives as well as the 2014, is as roomy (I am 6'6"), and gets better gas mileage. I like the Adaptive Cruise Controls and the better cameras. However, the new MMI leaves a lot to be desired. They will need to release a software upgrade to address the numerous issue, before I can recommend this car (to anyone who cares about the MMI). To mention a few of the worst problems: Neither Android or Apple phones (XR, or 12 Pro) will remain connected to the MMI. After they disconnect, they sometimes reconnect on their own, sometimes I can fiddle with the setting to get them to reconnect, sometimes I can unplug and replug the phone (put the Apple's in airplane mode), and sometimes all I can do is stop and restart the car. They have moved the Homelink controls into the touchscreen MMI (which is distracting when I am trying to turn into my driveway... I ended up having to put a garage door opener on the visor). Due to a flaw in their programming, the user profiles ALWAYS move the seat to the wrong position (so we quit using separate profiles). And once, the seats started moving on their own while I was driving down the road (and then a few minutes later, they moved back). There are a lot of other quirky things that I can't get into here, but as I said, I sure hope that they release a software upgrade or this may be my (fourth and) last Audi. In the MMI: A black screen means disconnect and reconnect your phone. A white screen means that the cameras aren't working, so you must turn off the car and restart it to fix it. A blue screen means that the MMI has crashed; it will not fix itself (even if you turn off the car), you must hold down the thumb wheel for ~20 seconds to reboot the MMI. The blue screen has only happened to me once, the others are common.

Love my 2021 Q5!
This car is my 8th Audi and my 4th Audi Q5. This time I upgraded to the Prestige trim. It has everything that I need/want in an SUV. Both the exterior and interior are beautiful. This car is quick, the tech is stellar and it glades over the road.

Audi Time
Bought our 2022 Audi Q5 S line 45 TFSI quattro in May of 22. Nice vehicle with a great ride. So much technology that it gets confusing if you are not a young techie. The problem we have is with the series of black buttons below the silver buttons for the AC control screen. The buttons are black with white labeling. Being that the buttons are under the silver buttons, the are not legible during the day in the bright daylight. Buttons should have been a different color. The buttons are for parking aid, ESC, start/stop function, plus others. Poor design by Audi. Also found that the tool kit was missing the tweezers tool to get the covers off the lug bolts and the wheel locks were not included. Small things but someone did not check if these things supplied before the car went out to the customer,
Gateway module issue
Our new Q5 had the issue that others are citing - the car totally shut down while driving, turned off. After not turning back on for about 45 minutes, the car started again and ran normal - but extremely dangerous. After over 10 days at the Audi dealer - they are replacing the gateway module. this should be a recall issue -but they probably aren’t because of fear of the lack of the part.

5,000 Miles and need a new Engine
I was ecstatic when I got my new 2022 Audi Q5 last fall. All in all (extended warranty, etc), I paid $60,000 for this car. There were a few little quirks initially, but nothing that I couldn't handle or work through as a new owner. April 13, 2022 and a tick, tick, tick and then the engine light appeared. I took the car to the Minneapolis Audi dealership and they told me the car needed a new engine. Today, June 10th I got a call from Chrissy who told me the engine was in and it looks like I'll get the car back next week. Sadly, the dealership has treated me like every other customer who comes in for an oil change. No updates unless I call them, no relaxing of the loaner rules and bad luck with the loaners themselves. I really don't want the car back and can't believe I paid $60k for something I have no doubt will continue to give me issues and a dealership I will have to go to for service that will only be looking out for their bottom line.
Love my '21 Q5 PHEV
So far, there's nothing not to like. Came from a 2013 Q5 Premium to a 2021 Q5 PPlus + Nav, Warm Weather Package, and B&O Sound system which gets it about half way to a Prestige trim. Loved the 2013 for its looks which were ahead of it's time and copied by the GLC to some extent- in that sense, the 2021 looks are not that cutting edge and only evolutionary. Getting exactly the 20 mile EPA rated EV range which is great for my 12 mile round trip commute. I think it makes sense to get the PHEV if you can do the weekday commute in EV only mode, charge free at home with Solar/Powerwall, and use gas only for weekend drives. Range is 350 miles in mixed driving. Driver assistance tech is spot on- unlike other car makers- is neither overly aggressive nor alarmingly permissive. Adaptive cruise being the best example. As expected, driving in EV mode is completely silent and with a decent road and no potholes there is minimal road noise too.
CRITICAL INTERNAL FAILURE IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS
Purchased the vehicle brand new in 12/2020, and the car died completely in less than 2 months due to internal failure. The car completely died mid driving and I couldn't even put the gear to neutral for good Samaritans to push the car out of the traffic to safety. Before the car stalled, all four windows started to go up and down like they were possessed. Then the dashboard started to go crazy displaying all the components and functions that were going critically wrong and shutting down. I had to get my car towed to back to the dealership in Honolulu, HI, and they kept the vehicle over 25 days without no update from them. I had to reach out every time to get updates which they didn't have much. Last month, I was driving the same vehicle and experienced Audi pre-sense malfunction. I was making a left turn in an 4 lane intersection and I was the first car making the left term. My path was clear, there was no oncoming vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrian in the crosswalk, nothing. When I pushed gas, the car suddenly braked, hard, and the cars behind me had to slam their brakes to not rear end me. This happened so abruptly when not expected at all, and I initially didn't know what happened. I thought I hit someone or I was hit. I realized I was sitting duck in the middle of the intersection, I tried to push gas again to complete my turn. The car would not move becuase the gear was at Park. I changed the gear and pushed the gas and was able to clear the intersection. The experience was so scary, I feel traumatized. And yes, like some other reviewers said, Apple CarPlay disconnects often and sometimes I cannot get them to connect at all and it is very frustrating. I saw someone's review said this was a known issue per Audi, but my dealership sure didn't admit to that and made me feel I was the one who didn't know what I was doing. Finally, I also do remember hearing a loud pop when I was driving one day which almost felt like it came from under my driver's seat. It felt like I didn't have the seat adjusted properly and when in motion the seat moved and it latched (thus the loud noise) but I remembered this car adjusted seats electrically (not like my other car, Subaru Crosstrek). Love the way this car rides and drives, but I am way too scared to keep driving this car for my safety.
Great car, just a bit cramped inside
Have had the car for a couple of days. The engine and transmission are perfect. I would put it in dynamic mode for better throttle response. MMI interface is crisp and easy to use. I liked the interior design better than the BMW X3 and Volvo XC60. Also, compared to XC60, I like that it has actual switches and knobs. My only complaint is the lack of enough legroom in the second row. I feel X3 was roomier (but the seats had lower quality). Overall, it is a gorgeous package. I strongly suggest Premium Plus with Warm weather package or Prestige.
