Replaced an older Audi with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

2026 Audi Q5 review
Audi Q5: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
8.6/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Audi Q5 sits near the top of its class. Ride stays composed on rough pavement; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $47,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
