The 2021 Audi Q5 appears in a new avatar with a new face and improved tech. It comes with a turbo4 engine that serves as a base or as a plug-in hybrid with a turbo-4, electric motors, and a lithium-ion battery pack.
All Q5 are revered for its all-wheel drive, and the Q5 uses a 7-speed automatic transmission while the SQ5 adds one more forward cog for good measure. The redefined front bumper can be found in the current Q5. The grille is smaller and lower in the nose but still commands admiration.
As you lift the hood, you find a base turbo-4, which gets a little more to deliver 261 hp, up from 148 hp last year. It’s a great pick by Audi repair experts for its affordability and overall comfort.
The optional plug-in hybrid combines a turbo-4 with 14.1-kWh lithium-ion battery to propel the Q5 to claim about 25 miles on electricity alone. But it could be a little costly. For that much, Audi delivers 362 hp – more than the performance-leaning SQ5. The batteries are too heavy, and the turbo-4 is a bit outmoded.
The Q5 still accommodates five passengers, providing space in the back for about 27 cubic feet of gear. Every Q5 receives soft leather upholstery and a high-quality finish.
On the whole, the Q5 is an impressive car. To keep it in good condition, be sure to bring it in for Audi repair Greensboro NC.
