2023 Q5 Exterior

The latest Audi Q5 is a handsome SUV, but it does look better with bigger wheels than the base car's 18-inch alloys. It has lost last year's vertical chrome strips in its grille and with the S line exterior package standard this year, the grille becomes a sportier honeycomb item. Both the front and rear headlights are LED units. The entry-level version comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, aluminum roof rails, a tailgate roof spoiler, and heated side mirrors. Further up in the range, a panoramic sunroof is fitted along with larger 19-inch bi-color alloy wheels. On the top trim, Matrix-design LED headlights with washers are equipped. For those who want something even sleeker, the Q5 Sportback is available, reviewed separately.

Dimensions

Almost identical in width to the BMW X3, the Audi Q5 is, however, more than an inch shorter than its rival. A glance at the spec sheet reveals Q5 dimensions of 184.3 inches in length, 65.5 inches in height, and a 111-inch wheelbase. The width works out to 84.2 inches with the mirrors included and 74.5 inches without the mirrors. For the PHEV variant, the height differs slightly at 65.3 inches. At 4,079 pounds, the base Audi Q5 is almost 150 lbs heavier than the base X3, a variance that is partially attributed to the base X3's lighter RWD layout. The Q5 PHEV weighs in at 4,619 lbs.

Exterior Colors

The Audi has quite a conservative color palette to start off with. For the non-PHEV models, there is a choice of eight shades but only two - Ibis White and Brilliant Black - come at no charge. Following these are six metallics that will each add $595 to the bill: Florett Silver, Glacier White, Mythos Black, Navarra Blue, District Green, and Manhattan Gray. Moving up to the Premium 45 TFSI adds Chronos Gray Metallic but Brilliant Black falls away at this level. Daytona Gray pearl effect is another addition, but Manhattan Gray falls away for this trim.

The PHEV variants add the $595 Ultra Blue Metallic in place of Navarra Blue.
