Audi Q5 heads off rivals

30th May 2009
In a head to head battle of the compact SUVs the Audi Q5 went up against it's rivals and came out on top. Auto Express offered only gleaming comments about this stunning smaller version of the Audi Q7. The fact that the world is in recession and consumers are worried about money has forced the car manufactures to think more efficient motoring and when it comes to the SUVs they tend to be fuel hungry, highly taxed beasts. But the compact Audi A5 delivers better fuel efficacy with the 2.0 litre TDI providing a more reasonable 35.1 mpg but still kicking out a powerful 168bhp. It also has a nice surprise for you when it comes to road tax since emission levels as low as 175g/km of CO2, it's down in the £175 a year tax bracket.
