The AUDI Q5 (2008-12) 5DR SUV QUATTRO 2.0 TDI CR DPF 170 S LINE PLUS STRON AUTO7 is a premium family SUV, pairing Audi’s smart cabin and raised driving position with four-wheel-drive confidence. It competes with the BMW X3 and Volvo XC60, offering a polished, understated alternative to bulkier SUVs. The 170-horsepower 2.0-litre diesel and automatic gearbox suit commuting, motorway journeys and family trips, while S line Plus trim brings a sportier look and comfortable, useful space. It best suits drivers seeking comfort and reassuring grip, rather than a small, inexpensive runabout.
