Audi Q5 endurance test notes: Anfahrschwacher bolide


How are actually the Audi Q5, currently on the editorial staff a motor und sport auto endurance test is completed? A mid-term review.

Steak tastes, custard, but both together I leave rather the experimental group, among the connoisseurs. Has to do it all with our Q5 endurance test? A lot.
His two-liter turbo with 211 HP is itself class: tangy, strong, sounds good - for a cylinder even mannerly. Thumbs highly in all sedans, station wagons and convertibles of VW corporate world.
But in an SUV as the Audi Q5 will it in the long term not quite work. On rapidly driven motorway stages is consumption compared to the two litre diesel soaring disproportionately high. Because values are suddenly on the clock as if were a hole in the tank.
And with all due respect to the force of the supercharged gasoline: when starting with heavy load you wish it to the powerful torque mountain of Selbstzunders. Otherwise, the Audi Q5 has known qualities. The reset button of the day kilometerzahlers had to be renewed just once in his so far 75,000 kilometers, and the high-quality looking Interior shows almost no wear and tear. So the least you expect in the premium segment.
The seats with their practical extension of the leg pad are comfortable even in the end of long stages, and the luggage compartment with its wide, high opening stone swallows a lot. The music fans in the newsroom look also on another 25,000 km with the great bang & Olufsen sound.
