Q5 Estate Car Leasing & Contract Hire

Well built and finished especially the interior. Quiet comfortable ride and balanced handling, and surprising acceleration for the size of vehicle and engine.

As a plug in hybrid it takes a lot of trial and error to align the the apps for energy supplier, charger and vehicle to get it to charge reliably. The tech in the vehicle is generally very good but sometimes irritating e.g. continuously reverting back to Apple Play when you just want to listen to the radio. The luggage space is awkwardly shaped due to the sloping back, my A6 Avant could carry far more than the Q5. In future I may go back to an estate car. Driving usually in auto-hybrid mode I do average 55 mpg which is a lot for a 220 bhp petrol and the build quality is the usual Audi high standard.

Was expecting better MPG than an average of 32. Very comfortable, interior is high quality with great selection of materials. Good driving position although pedal position slightly awkward for taller people - much like all recent VAG vehicles. Rear leg room is not great. Boot space inadequate, but understand this is due to the battery. Infotainment very good, performance is blistering
