The AUDI Q5 (2008-12) 5DR SUV QUATTRO 3.0 TDI CR DPF 240 SE STRON AUTO is a premium, five-door family SUV, offering a more commanding view and extra practicality than a conventional hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among upmarket alternatives to the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK, with Audi’s understated styling. Its 3.0-litre diesel engine and quattro four-wheel drive make it well suited to motorway journeys, family holidays and confident progress in poor weather. The automatic gearbox and roomy cabin appeal to drivers wanting comfort, useful space and strong pulling power, while its size and running costs are less suited to tight-city use or budget-minded first-time drivers.
