2016 AUDI Q5 2.0L TDI quattro 7AT AWD (190 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The compact SUV from Audi launched the first generation in 2009. It was time for a change, and Audi decided to make a step forward in 2016.

The exterior design could be considered timeless, at the 2016 looked fresh even in 2020.

Most of the 2016 cars in the Q5’s class were well equipped, however, one of the major downsides was the connectivity to the vehicle. The Q5 lacked an USB port and users were left with the Audi’s digital music interface. Quite unusual for 2016.

Safety features such as adaptive cruise control and forward collision mitigation were not available with the Q5.

The Q5 was offered with seven trim levels: 2.0T Premium, 2.0T Premium Plus, 3.0T Premium Plus, 3.0T Prestige and a 2.0T Hybrid Prestige. Of course, the names given to the trim levels corresponded to the available engines.

Across the board, the Q5 received a standard panoramic sunroof. Optionally, users could choose adaptive suspension dampers and a Bang & Olufsen premium audio system.

Safety wise, the Q5 came with stability and traction control, front and side airbags, parking sensors, a rearview camera and a blind-spot monitoring system – the last 3 being part of the Technology package.

Well known for the interior design, Audi didn’t disappoint with the 2016 model either. The cabin was fitted with excellent quality materials that made the interior look sophisticated and classy.
