Audi Q5
The Q5 offers a broad lineup including two body styles (SUV and Sportback) and three powertrain options. Base models get a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology (201 or 261 horsepower), while the sporty SQ5 (349 horsepower) and efficient plug-in hybrid variant (362 horsepower, 37 km of pure electric range) cater to different drivers. Such variety combined with remarkable build quality and handling contribute to the success of the Q5, which remains a segment leader.
