2011 Audi Q5 3.0 TDI Review

The Q5 sits on the latest A4 sedan chassis, and inherits its stiffness and adept handling.

It also inherits the overly firm ride, though it’s cushioned a little by the SUV suspension.

It houses a choice of typically stunning drivetrains, but the weight of the luxury fit-out (maxing-out at 1865kg) makes the six-cylinder 3.0-litre diesel the pick.

If your budget can handle it, take this one over the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and turbo-diesel (even if its nose is a touch harder to turn in, thanks to the bigger diesel’s weight penalty).

Its figures are as good as its figure, with 176kW and a glorious 500Nm of torque clocking 0-100km/h in just 6.5secs.

The Q5 is actually quite capable off-road and well-up to the family excursion some way off the beaten track, provided you don’t go too far.
