The compact luxury SUV Audi Q5 is undoubtedly the most popular model in the German luxury lineup. Its reputation comes from different factors, including its composed road manners, premium fit and finishes, a quiet, comfortable and spacious cabin, and a wide selection of trims.

It also offers plenty of equipment to enhance every trip, such as the Audi Virtual Cockpit, supremely comfortable seats, and a premium sound system. Whether in the city or for long weekend getaways, practicality and driving enjoyment make time on the road fly by.

The towing capacity of the Audi Q5 also contributes to its versatility and varies by model:

These generous figures allow you to tow, for example, a 20-foot travel trailer, two snowmobiles on a trailer, or a motorboat. It is often said that the Audi Q5 is among the best SUVs to tow 3,500 lb. and more (45 TFSI and SQ5).
