Audi Q5: First drive report

Another nice driving report with the Audi Q5.

Upon my arrival in Florida, I was greeted by a gorgeous line-up of Q5s and Q7 TDIs, and a nice warm Florida sun to warm myself and other members of the Canadian press.

The Q5 is available in two configurations – Standard and Premium. Both come extremely well-equipped, starting with their standard 3.2-litre V6 engine with FSI Direct Injection. This engine produces a hefty 270 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, and moves the 1,895-kg vehicle easily and with authority when needed. Standard fare is quattro all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission.

As you would expect with an Audi, safety is a priority, and the Q5’s standard active and passive safety features are impressive.
