Is the NEW 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback a luxury SUV worth the PRICE?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- The first ever Q5 Sportback is here and Audi wanted to blend a sleeker look with their popular SUV for 2021. On the outside you will find the refreshed grill, front fascia, wheels, and bumper. Of course you will notice how they trimmed some real estate off the back end of this Q5. On the inside you will get Audi's great interior with a 10in infotainment screen, Virtual Cockpit and leather seating. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 261HP & mated to a 7-speed DCT. Is the NEW 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback a luxury SUV worth the PRICE?

I was never really a fan of the exterior styling of most Audis. The interior seemed nice enough. Took an Audi for a test drive and bought an Audi. All I can say is drive it and see, they do it right.
I agree. The exterior design of Audi’s are not my favorite, except for the Etron and Q8. I drove a 2020 Q5 for a year in a half and I loved the way it drove. No issues, no problems and No slouch on the expressway either.
Audi is always good in their beautiful cars but I would get the regular Q5
Looks pretty good. The wheels are kind of boring though. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nicely done you and QOC Lori!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I love the car and I like it even more when Joe drops random motorsports knowledge and enthusiasm.
I LOVE MINE. I have an SQ5 and am IN love. Got it two weeks ago.
Need a boyfriend? Oh never-mind you said you're in love, darn it!
Love it. Can’t wait until Joe gets his hands on the new RS3 next year
Torque: 370Nm
Weight: 1854kg
Fuel consumptions: 10.8l/100km in city, 8.47l/100km on highway
Boot capacity: 699l with seats up compared to the Q5 with 710l, 1480l with seats down compared to the Q5 with 1503l
Gracias Dave!
@@RaitisRides ¡De nada!
@@DaveDVideoMaker oi amigo
It's not an overly aggressive design that eats into space like a certain BMW model does.
@@DEVILTAZ35 I wasn’t talking about design here.
My buddy’s wife got a SQ5 and that thing is wilddddd. Beautiful cars.
That would definitely be the one to get!
Been waiting for an Audi demo
Obviously, there would be optional wheels available, (because these are lame for such a nice vehicle). I'd definitely go with the more powerful setup, but the fit, finish, and comfort, looks fine. Thanks, Joe! Lori, would be fun to hear a giggle, once in a while lol. Another stellar example of your amazing camera work. Thanks for all you do!
I liked the infotainment screens better when they had the option to tuck them back down in the dash.
Have one : the gloss black around the shifter is a zonk, the on throttle is a bit airy and Audi should have a 3 liter engine option other than buying an SQ 5.
Update: after several weeks of ownership the phone charger doesn’t work, the backup camera goes in and out and the screen now goes black most of the time. Granted it’s all under warranty but a car of this price range shouldn’t have this many problems.
Have a 2020 Q5 and love it. Definitely would still pick the standard Q5 over the sport back.
I love the color of this SUV!! Nice job Joe.
Looks cool!!
I’m glad you are digging this one!
I'm more of a BMW or a Mercedes kind of a guy, For the Q5 I do feel there's way too much Chrome on the outside. I personally feel the Wheels and trim should be blacked out. If the sportback more of a aggressive look.
Agreed, they need their version of the shadow line edition that BMW offers.
cant wait for you to review the new upcoming bmw x4m facelift version.
We get a 204 horsepower 2-litre diesel in Europe also.
Yeah I can’t wait
Awesome video bro ur the best
That rear wiper kills the look of the back don't know why they didn't tuck it under the spoiler
Joe would you get this vehicle, or the 2022 redesigned NX350? That’s what it’s going to come down to for me. Which one did you like better? I’m a longtime Audi owner but that new NX is calling for me.
Great review. Looked at one of these this weekend and to me, it looks better in person.
Joe, thanks for the review. The Q5 has never looked attractive to me. This looks a little better If its being marketed as sporty I just wish it was blacked out with no chrome on the exterior.
You can get the Black Optic package that does that. I have it on my A5.
I saw an SQ5 today with the Black Optics package. It looked good on the Daytona Grey it was painted in.
Wow, I wasn’t aware Audi made a Sportback model. Lets have a comparison, this and the qx55!
Then Audi would be a better value
I like the way you think!
@@yes8032 I think you might be right George!
@@RaitisRides 👍🏽👌
@@yes8032 But Infiniti smokes Audi in the looks department!
Wish they did black trim on the wheels
Almost picked one up last week but sold just the day before
thanks for you hard word raiti and crew!
Have an awesome Sunday guys take care
Looks good but... if these SUV get any smaller, the mini Cooper will be considered a full sized suv
Excellent informative presentation,purchased one in Mythos black from Audi Swindon England, 👏 great job
I have the q5 sport back 2021, love it
I've got a 2022 on order in the District Green color, I can't wait!
Great review as always Joe! I'm in the market right now so definitely wanted to include this in my choices. Will you be doing a review on the 2022 BMW X3?
Hi Zonkman, I love the Audi A5 and the Infinity Qx55 and I think it"s a Sandy.
I’m not normally a fan of SUVs and crossovers, but even I have to say the Q5 Sportback looks good, but even better in person. I like the shape of it and you’re really not sacrificing that much cargo capacity for the sportier look. It’s a nice difference from many otherwise boring looking SUVs on the road. Also, I applaud Audi for keeping the nice, simple and clean look of the rear of the standard Q5 instead of doing something funky (and ugly) like BMW and MB did with their “coupe” SUVs.
I like the Q5 sportback long wheelbase more
Nice review been waiting for this one on the Audi Q5 sportback, question for you is would you do this Audi Q5 sportback or Genesis GV 70
Raiti I look forward to your car reviews. Will you review the Porsche Coupe 2021?
Based on your recommendation I bought a 2021 A5 Sportback Prestige. I was on the fence because of the tablet display, but honestly after driving it for a couple months I barely notice that its not integrated better.
It's obviously just a trend. They could do without it altogether and add the functionality to heads up display and dashboard if they really wanted to. I think Lambo has Apple carplay in the dashboard now so no reason why Audi can't do it.
I love it, it's a competitor to Porshe Macan. However I'm still loving BMW 7 series as part of screen and confort
Audi makes really nice cars nowadays
Those wheels need to go the way of the dodo along with the entertainment unit. At the very least they should have used a wide low centre screen so it didn't stick up like that. Otherwise it looks nice. Seeing the dashboard is so configurable and there is a heads up display as well why do they even need an entertainment unit in the middle? . The only other thing i wish it had was leather or suede dashboard and leather on door sills. It looks a bit unfinished.
I think the BMW x4 would be a better option in my opinion.
JOE! I need to see your face when you drive. That says it ALL!!!!
“Let’s talk about what’s going on here”
I watch your video for this sentence only
They did awesome with it in my opinion. They have a few things here and there to change.
I wish AutoTrader would let you filter by sportback/not. I hate looking for a normal Cayenne or Q5 only to find most are sportbacks
I like the interior of the Q5 very much!
Does it have ambient lighting?
Can you start climbing in back of suv's and see if you can lay down? Thx
Camon Joe on throttle Yha. That's my favourite one. Nice one Joe
The floating iPad style center screen is a deal breaker. Hey 2015 called.....you know the rest.
A nice car love the blue color makes it look beautiful.
Nice review keep up the good work
Like to see more Porsche content- you’ve an engaging presentation style
Christopher is fat
Love my q/3 joe making me want a 5
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 💯 👍
Excellent review. Cool style, nice color. Just add the reliability of Toyota and it will be a hit.
Great rewiev! Just a great car.
It's funny I've seen a reviewer comparing the Q5 to the Alfa Romeo stelvio Ti sport
I love this guy
when u reviewing the plaid model s.....everyone has been waiting for u
I'm waiting RSQ 5 coming.. one day
Do you know why Audi lease is so expensive? Comparing to BMW it seems about 20-30% more.
Time to watch
It’s about that time!
What was price as tested? (You said starting price, but not PAT.)
Please review the 2022 BMW X3
How’s the visibility out of the rear window?
Hey Rati! Any thoughts when the 2022 Honda Accord might be released? I’m waiting for your review on it to see if it’s the one I should
Go for!
I'f it was me I'd either go for the new Civic SI or leap frog to the Acura!
How’s it
That Q5 is loaded. Only thing missing is the stronger engine. A comparably equipped Genesis GV70 is $10k more...
Nice, I'd rather get a GLC though, keep up the great work!
I'd go for the Infiniti!
Love 💘 the color 😍
Seats 💺 look 👀 😍
Awww so cute. We are living in an era where you have to be careful who you call she, he, him or her so I love how this design is oozing estrogen.
You guys are so lucky in the US and Canada. These cars are almost twice the price here in the UK. Enjoy it guys.
In OZ it is even worse lol.
@@DEVILTAZ35 It's not fair.
What a colour.
Yes!
Sounds like a play on the Blue Brothers @17:40
Why them rims look like the stock rims on my 2002 pathfinder
Aside from Porsche and Tesla, Audi is one of those brands that make the whole coupe SUV segment attractable and not ugly since Audi's design language fits with the whole coupe SUV style. Besides, ever since the A7 came out Audi has used what they've learnt from the design of the A7 and applied it to their other vehicles like the Q3 and A5. BMW and Mercedes Benz fail with this design language simply because vehicles like the X6 or GLE Coupe are way too overly styled especially the X6 and the GLE Coupe looks like a blob fish at certain angles. Audi and Porsche are the only two German brands where coupe SUVs look good in my opinion, and the Q5 Sportback is a great example of that.
Awesome review as usual Joe and Lori!!! Literally no one does reviews like you two and we're all here for it!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #Audi #Q5_Sportback
You are the best Mario! We appreciate you so very much!
Looks like the prestige option at near total of 60k. Overpriced for what it is and the features.
Hey Joe 👋 👋
Hey Seth! I hanks for making it!
@@RaitisRides anytime Joe 😊
Thanks Joe and Lori……….I’m not getting why that even needs a rear window wiper on this.
Gv70 interior is wat more exciting than this, this has the tech and features but just not an exciting place to spend time in
Oh my god Ronnie !
Will Joe ever ANSWER the questions posed in the titles of his VIDEOS?
While I appreciate these luxury car reviews, why not review something that I can afford? Like a Honda Super Cub discounted scratch and dent model?
I know that's right! Cute!
I’m glad Audi didn’t add any fake exhausts. That trend needs to end. Why is this a thing?
IKR? Volkswagen Group is the worst culprit of fake exhausts, even in the Audi S6.
Wanna use my 2021 trx for a review?
I like it.
Nice lil suv tho😏
The Problem from Audi is allways the small luggageroom. The have enough place, you can order the Q8!
This is very true Thomas!
Hey joe i want to buy a car under 30k in canada. I am a college student. Suggest me
I hate chevy for reusing designs with sister brands, i also hate audi for NOT reusing designs with Volkswagen.
No questions about it audi design and styling is very nice. Audi isn’t reliable and very expensive to fix (labor fee). Audi is hard to sell as a preown.
Only if they had an SQ5 Sportback to give you.
He said there is one...
@@OlJackBurton - what do you mean? I know an SQ5 Sportback exists. I was hoping the dealership that gave him this to review had an S instead.
That weird "no taillights with the trunk door open" thing is so jarring.
