Chloe Taylor·December 9, 2022·0 comments

Like every car in Audi’s outstanding lineup, the Q5’s main talking points are a well-sculptured bodywork, a trio of potent engine options, and its tech-heavy interior.

For 2023, the Q5 crossover gets nothing more than reshuffled trim offerings which see features like adaptive cruise control become standard. If you are considering leasing the 2023 Audi Q5, this article gives you more info about the compact luxury crossover.

Engine And Performance

The Q5’s powertrains are labeled 40, 45, and 55. Q5 models ending with 40 use the entry-level 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 201 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Opting for 45 introduces a tuned version of the base four-cylinder, making 261 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The top-of-the-line 55 model receives a plug-in hybrid that combines the traditional engine with an electric motor to generate 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission are standard across the Q5’s lineup. The Q5 boasts a smooth, composed ride and impressive road manners. The plug-in hybrid achieves the fastest zero-to-60mph time at 4.5 seconds.

Fuel Economy

According to EPA estimates, Q5 models with the base four-cylinder are rated 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, while the 45 gets a rating of 23 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. The plug-in-hybrid powertrain has a combined rating of 27 mpg and a purely-electric driving range of 23 miles.

Interior

Inside, the Q5 is not a huge departure from entry-level Audi cars. It delivers a spacious and quiet cabin brimming with desirable tech features and convenience amenities. As you climb the Q5’s trim levels, things tend to get a lot more luxurious with high-end features like Audi’s 12.3-inch reconfigurable digital gauge cluster known as virtual cockpit, a panoramic sunroof, 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D premium sound system, head-up display, ventilated front seats, etc. Standard features include brown walnut wood inlays, a 10.1-inch center touchscreen display, driver information system with 7.0-inch color display, three-zone automatic climate control system, etc.
