What You'll Like
With the addition of the new 2.0 TFSI engine and 8-speed automatic, the 2011 Audi Q5 performs similarly to its V6-equipped counterpart while being much more fuel-efficient--now with an EPA highway rating of 27 mpg. The Q5 has the longest wheelbase in its class and that gives it an especially smooth, settled ride. With the V6, the Q5 has the highest towing capacity in its class. The Q5's rear-biased quattro all-wheel drive system brings more driving enjoyment than is typical for enthusiasts and those who might rather be driving a sport sedan, while the interior has just as much versatility and flexibility as other utility vehicles in this class.
