The AUDI Q5 (2008-12) 5DR SUV QUATTRO 2.0 TDI CR DPF 170 S LINE SPECIAL EDITION 6SPD is a premium, five-door family SUV, offering a more upright, practical alternative to an estate car. In the UK used market, it sits among desirable mid-size 4x4s, competing with the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK. Its smart styling and S line details give it a sportier look than many family-focused rivals. Quattro four-wheel drive gives grip and a composed feel, making it suited to family journeys, commuting and weekends away. The six-speed manual appeals to drivers who enjoy more control. S line trim adds visual appeal, while the cabin feels more upmarket than mainstream SUVs; diesel efficiency can suit longer trips. mycarcheck.com records 393 checks across 149 different VINs, a useful sample; average private-sale value is £6,400, with 122,000 miles recorded, 7,000 annual miles and about 3.4 previous keepers.
