Speaking of trips, this Audi is fun to drive. Under its bonnet lies a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder. It’s paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system. This car launches from a standstill without showing any sign of lag. Power is always readily available in any situation from taking off at intersections to overtaking on freeways. Punching out 183kW at 6500rpm and 370Nm at 1600-4300rpm, we found torque readily available even early in the rev range. This left little need to switch it over into Sport, with Comfort being plenty for the everyday fun drive. Audi has always impressed with its driving dynamics, and this SUV is no exception. It’s well sorted with great composure and body control – handling corners with confidence, even the tighter turns. The steering is light without being airy or imprecise, and overall it handles well over bumpy roads. This Audi packs a pretty decent boot with 550L of cargo space with the rear seats upright, and 1550L are up for grabs with the seats folded. The 2021 Audi Q5 45 TFSI boasts a five-star ANCAP safety rating based on initial testing in 2017. In the way of safety features, these include eight airbags, autonomous emergency braking for vehicles and pedestrians, driver-attention monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, exit warning, surround cameras, front and rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, pre-sense rear, evasive steering assist and front cross-traffic AEB.
