Audi Q5 is class leader in safety and best-value features

-

THE 2020 Audi Q5, awarded with top ratings by leading vehicle safety groups in the U.S.A. and Europe, comes in two special variants that each present equipment levels and value unmatched in the vehicle’s class. Called the Audi Q5 Prestige and Audi Q5 Premium, both are fitted with turbocharg­ed 2.0-liter TDI diesel engines, 7- speed dual clutch S tronic transmissi­ons, Audi’s signature quattro all-wheel drive with ultra technology and an extensive array of infotainme­nt and assistance systems.

The top variant is the Audi Q5 Prestige that boasts of adaptive air suspension, a feature not found in the model’s competitor­s.

Adaptive air suspension works with the vehicle’s newly developed five-link suspension with damper control to allow for settings ranging between comfort and dynamics. Five different damper settings are available, each chosen via the Audi drive select. Besides changing the vehicle’s ride and handling behavior, the settings also vary the Audi Q5 Prestige’s ride height.

Among luxury items fitted to the Audi Q5 Prestige are Audi’s MMI touch infotainme­nt system, the fully digital Audi virtual cockpit that has a high-resolution 12.3inch screen,

20-inch

Audi Sport alloy wheels, leather comfort seats, a Bang & Olufsen 3D audio system and an ambient lighting package.

For its part, the Audi Q5 Premium offers the best value in its class because it is equipped similarly to the top-variant Audi Q5 Prestige even if presented in a more affordable package.

Whether in Prestige or Premium configurat­ion, the 2020 Audi Q5 is cited Top Safety Pick by the U.S.A. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and also carries the maximum five-star rating from the European New Car Assessment Program, or Euro NCAP.
