The 2023 Audi Q5 is like the Apple iPhone of the SUV world: it’s known for its precise build quality, good performance, and refined appearance. Other luxury SUVs offer similar tech features and flashier styling, but the Q5 is satisfaction guaranteed—at least for drivers who don’t mind bland handling. A trio of powertrains is on offer, starting with a 201-hp turbocharged four-cylinder which comes standard with Quattro all-wheel drive. A more powerful 261-hp four is optional, as is a 362-hp plug-in hybrid, the two of which provide quick and quicker acceleration. Technophiles rather than enthusiast drivers appear to be the Q5’s target audience, though, as it offers plenty of digital-friendly features and driver assists. If you’re like us and prefer something a zestier, the performance-oriented SQ5 (reviewed separately) might be your ride of choice. Otherwise, know that rivals such as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and the Porsche Macan offer more driver involvement, but both have a higher starting price than the Q5.
