CarGurus' 2009 Audi Q5 Review

Source: CarGurus

Audi seems to think SUVs are the hot ticket, for in addition to the Q7, the first quarter of 2009 will find the Q5 in their U.S. dealerships. This midsize SUV aims directly at the BMW X3, the Infiniti EX35, the Mercedes-Benz GLK, the Lexus RX 350, and others of its ilk.With its 110.6-inch wheelbase, the Q5 is longer (by half an inch) than the BMW X3; it's also lower, with a stylish coupe-like roofline that contributes to an impressively low drag coefficient of 0.33.

Three distinct groups of competitors emerge for the 2009 Audi Q5. The first group comprises its fellow travelers from Germany and Great Britain; the Mercedes-Benz GLK wears angular clothes and bakes in off-roading, four-wheel drive, and a big V-6, with diesel power on the way.

The RDX’s pulsing turbocharged four-cylinder seems at odds with its mission, while the EX35’s teensy cargo area leads to questions about its SUV classification. Lastly, the soft and comfy SUVs in this group include the Lexus RX, a luxury favorite with little driving feel and a hybrid model; the new Volvo XC60, a sleek and fairly quick-footed SUV with a marvelous interior; and the Cadillac SRX, a new entry in this size class with crisp styling and good on-road maneuvers.
