When it comes to exciting new Audi offerings on the market, the unapologetically classy Q5 model is certainly one of the most intriguing cars to enter the scene in recent months. Audi is a brand that ceaselessly churns out high-end, polished, and absolutely stunning vehicles, but it always manages to outdo itself with every passing year. In such a competitive automobile industry, this is definitely a necessity.

The Q5 matches up against some of the best vehicles coming out from competing manufacturers in the market, but why should you drive it? Here are just a few of the main reasons...

It’s Powerful

First off, let’s talk about basic specs. The vast number of engine options will please Audi enthusiasts. There are 5 possible options for the new Q5. Unfortunately, that’s only the case in Europe, but the 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine is probably going to make its way over to the States. You’ll also be looking at a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Basically, this is going to be a powerful offering from Audi, even if you live outside of Europe and you’re limited in terms of engine options.

It’s Very Safe

Cars are getting safer and safer, thankfully. You might think there’s only so much that manufacturers can do. At the end of the day, safe driving depends on safe drivers (until we all drive automated cars, of course).

The Audi Q5 certainly has safety features that help to make the road experience more comfortable and relaxing. It’s a lighter car and it feels easier to control. This isn’t necessarily a safety feature, but it’s a positive.

In terms of tech, the Q5 boasts plenty of incredibly useful driver assistance systems to make this a very safe vehicle. In fact, there are 30 assistance systems including traffic jam assist to help with your steering in slow-moving traffic. It’s a small detail, but it’ll improve your security.

Of course, you might also want to do some research on dealing with a car accident to make sure that you have sufficient coverage for your new Audi. It’s important to take steps to protect your finances as well as your health in such a situation. Incredible safety features can only get you so far if you’re a reckless driver. You should definitely consider driving the Audi Q5 if you’re looking for a car that’s optimized for the best results on the road.

It Handles Incredibly Well

The handling on the brand new Q5 is definitely one of the main reasons why you should drive it. Audi’s flashy new Quattro Ultra all-wheel-drive system gives it incredibly sturdy and reliable handling. Linking to the previous point, this might be seen as yet another safety feature. It’s a reliable car because it truly puts the driver in control. It operates in front-wheel drive by default, and this improves fuel consumption as well as traction. In other words, the Q5 is technologically-advanced and economical. The positives just keep stacking up.
