Is the NEW 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback a luxury SUV worth the PRICE?

  • 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.

      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’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.

  • @MrPetrello
    @MrPetrello 2 роки тому +2

    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.

    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.

    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.
