2013 Audi Q5 Hybrid First Impressions
Monday, June 20, 2011
MALLORCA, Spain-- Not much more than the width of an oxcart, the narrow road wound its way up the mountainside, flanked on one side by thickets of holm-oak and juniper, on the other by yellow stone walls.

2012 Audi Q5 Hybrid First Impressions
Tuesday, November 23, 2010
The next instalment in my Audi Electrification adventure landed me in a Q5 Hybrid. We all know that compact crossovers are the "in" segment at the moment. Mix in luxury, and your vehicle is a sure-fire winner. Throw in "hybrid" and you're now dabbling in a backyard that has seen only one player for the last few years, the Lexus RX. Well-established and highly-regarded, the RX is no pushover and nor does Audi intend on aiming straight at it.

2009 Audi Q5 First Impressions
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Sebring, Florida--The long-anticipated little brother to the Q7 is finally available, and I was fortunate to attend the Canadian Press introduction in Florida. Here, I was able to spend hours in both the standard Q5 3.2 and the 3.2 Premium. The difference between the two is in how much creature comforts you want. Not need, but want because the standard version is so comfortable I never even thought of moving up to the Premium. Mind you, when I drove the Premium, I never thought of going back to the standard version. After all, if your biggest decision is what color to buy and what type of wheel you want, that makes for a day of anguish!
