2018 Audi Q5 USA Drive and Price

- I drive the brand-new 2018 Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI quattro and go over the new features and details of this completely new design. This Navarra Blue suv is the Premium Plus trim with Bang and Olufsen (B&O) as well as the technology package. The new Q5 uses a new style of quattro ultra, which means it will use electronics to decouple the rear drive and go front-wheel drive only. However, it defaults to quattro, unlike competitors that normally default to fwd and only switch to awd when needed. The quattro ultra system will always default to awd but swtich to fwd under conditions to save fuel.

Now I know where to put sunglasses and how to open and close the trunk with the kick without hand. Thanks, pal nice review!
Great review - I bought a used 2018 Q5 Premium + with the exact same specs as this one a year ago and love it, it replaced a 2010 Q5 that had the 3.2 litre naturally aspirated V6 and this one has significantly better fuel economy - about 3 to 4 mpg better. I love all the features but haven't yet used all of them - I am still learning, and it is also quieter than the 2010 model. Mine was made in Mexico and the quality of finish etc. is superb - just like in the 2010 model that I had.
Driving a sedan, but looking to get into a suv. Really like the Audi Q5, so have been checking out all the videos available, and must say I enjoyed yours more than any other! Great review!
Awesome review ! I have subscribed to your channel !
Hi Bryan. One of my favorite UA-cam reviewers.... testing one of my favorite cars . Nice to see you cruising around in an Audi again , such nice cars. The prefect Colorado mountain vehicle, that's for sure. cheers, BW
+Bill The new Q5 is definitely more expensive than the outgoing model. I had a 2015 p+ with technology and sport packages and it was $48k. The Q5 in this video had B&O and virtual cockpit and the dual clutch auto with a non mechanical quattro awd system. I think the Allroad would work well also, but I'm not sure about ground clearance and breakover info. Thanks for watching!
Excellent review, well thought out and informative.
Thanks for the great review, Bryan. I've been looking to replace my car with a Q5, but I don't want a 4 cylinder, I need something with more power. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the 2018 SQ5, did they give you any idea when it might be coming?
Great review one of the best I have seen. Really like how you used multiple cameras to get the best view. You should do a video on how you use cameras for making a UA-cam video! I purchased my Q5 PP and should have it next week. Whoever put the shipping bag on it did not do it correctly and the zipper damaged the paint just above the rear door so it needs a small repair. I am going from a 2013 A6PP to the Q6 PP
Great reviews! Keep them coming!! Do you always use the same route you take the cars on?
+riad halawi Thanks! I use this route in particular because I'm familiar with the area. I usually keep this route for all the Audi models I drive.
Thank you for the great review, i have mine since july 2017 and i really like it. The only thing i dislike about it is that the screen isn't a touch screen, i hope they will change that in the next version. Also thank you for the info on how to close the trunk with the kick, i didn't know that.
Good review, definitely subscribed
What a great review! Just like your Q7 review. I must've watched it like a dozen times. Do you know if this will have a night vision option on the prestige, Bryan?
+FinestInstinct That's a great question. As far as right now, a Prestige trim will have an available damping suspension. The driving assistance package and the respective aides are not available on the Q5 or SQ5. All the A4 and Q7 tech will remain on those vehicles. Thanks for watching!
New Car Spin Thank you for the information. Subscribed! I look forward to more Audi reviews.
Very good review. I saw and heard what I needed to know. Thanks.
i like you and your presentation keep going
Great review! Good content and to the point
Right now I have a v6 car and my lease will be up in the next few months and I'm thinking of an SUV, do you feel this has enough power for what I'm used to? If not do you have any other suggestions of a luxury SUV?
great explanation. Thx
Do you have an idea when is 2018 q7 will be revealed?
Could you please comment on the cabin noise level. Is it more quiet than average? I want a quiet cabin. I am considering moving from my Benz GLK to this 2018 Q5. (I know I am giving up 2 cylinders) I see a number of 2018 Q5's at my dealerships loaded with the features I want all with the 20" wheel package. I have always thought that the ride quality would be better with 19" or 18" wheels, (more sidewall). What is your opinion of the 20"s wheels and ride on the Q5?
+tderisi I drove a 2015 Q5 TDI with 20" wheels on my other channel, Diesel Review. The road noise was appalling and the handling in the rain was unforgivable. I owned a 2015 Q5 2.0 with 19" sport package and Conti tires. Drove it round trip from Texas to South Carolina and had a blast.
Nice review, beautiful car
Awesome review
+Joe Nam Thanks!
Have you looked at or researched the new 2018 VW Tiguan ? It looks like VW wants to seriously compete in the SUV market. They say that people are really wanting the Atlas when it hits the dealerships too. I myself am waiting on the 2018 Golf to be released. Had to give back my 15 Passat TDI SE (buy back) recently and am already missing the mileage. Hi from central florida btw.
+jasont42 Hey Jason. I saw the new Tiguan at the Dallas Auto Show. ua-cam.com/video/OSfayIDxz70/v-deo.html
I also saw the new Atlas and the Wolfsburg Touareg.
What kind of Nikon camera are you using??

Great Review! But I regret getting this car... I just leased this car 2 months ago brand new and 1 month in burnt tail light and windshield wipers jerk up about 2 inches while driving occasionally. Now I'm at month 2 and the check engine light came on. I wish I could return it only has 1100 miles on it. Are audi's know for problems... I am wondering if its because there made in mexico now.
I want one so bad!
Just bought the premium package
Darn it, now that I watched this video, You got me thinking to buy the Q5 instead of the A4.
+srincomptr That would be my suggestion. But the A5 Sportback will be here soon. The A4 doesn't make my short list. A3, Q5, A5 Sportback are all better looking than the A4. I would predict them to have better residuals than the A4 as well.
This is Q5 Prestige or Q5 Premium Plus 2018 ?

By the way, I subscribed!
Great car indeed. Love the interior. Definitely hate the stick on display. Feel that it is so out of place.
Now that the Q5 is made in mexico I wonder if they will experience the same drop in quality as VW, Ford, GMC, Chevy and Nissan are now plagued with. Audi has had so many quality issues already with the timing chain tensioner failing, piston rings/oil consumption, dieselgate, etc. I have owned 3 Audi's but it seems after 2008 they turned into junk. My wife's 2012 Q5 has 40k miles and is experiencing the oil consumption which eventually leads to engine failure due to loss of compression, but many 2009-2012 owners had engine fail due to timing chain failure and Audi leaves them hanging. Why spend $50k on a car that will only last 5 years? The secondary market is non existent so resale value has almost disappeared.
1. Dieselgate is not a reliability issue. It's the opposite.
2. Resale for everything has fallen - just look at your neighbor's 2009 S-class. You can pick that up for $9,000 these days.
I just test drove one today and I am very disappointed for how unsporty it feels
+The Wisdom of the FlashGordon Did you use drive select to change out of comfort mode? Did you drop the transmission into sport mode?
I used individual mode to change steering to sport and left transmission in auto. That is how I typically configure Audi when I drive. Except for A8 sport steering is so artificially heavy then I use comfort. Be honest with you I like the previous gen Audi hefty German feel better than this newer gen. I am interested in how the new S4 feel with and without the Sport package. I guess it is not going my like

Wisdom of Gordon Its not a sports car it's a luxury car it has high hp and torque for towing purposes and to gain quick acceleration for highway use. It's not meant for drag racing :l
You would do yourself a favor by never saying the word "actually" anymore. Ever.
I actually thought about that once
I have one: The 2018 Q5 gets 21.4-mpg. USEPA LIES.
Any owners out there getting a tin can clang noise from the brake pedal when it’s released ? Big problem in cars coming to the UK. Audi apparently have found a cure which involves changing the brake servo and the master cylinder- in a new car !!!, plastic everywhere in the interior. Door pull handles are hard plastic, seat runners are visible with the screw rod on display. Everything looks cheap inside and this car has been produced as cheap as possible. I returned mines after 6 months and went Mercedes. The Mk1 was a much more solid and well put together car. Nothing against Mexicans, but if you pay cheap wages you are going to get a cheaply built product which will kill your reputation big time. There are better cars out there for less money - be aware.
Could be a supplier issue. A lot of Audi models have had recalls over the past 12 months.
I am not buying Mexican car for sure .
For me it has to be made in Germany for that kind of money . Jetta cost 17 K . it's ok even it is made in Mexico . Audi 50 K plus , must be nuts to get this model made in Mexico .
+Ryan Ray You might as well cross RAM off your list.
Ryan Ray Mazaratti is even worse in terms of reliability issues...
