5 reasons to buy the 2016 Audi Q5 Hybrid
1. Engaging drive
The Audi Q5 Hybrid provides the perfect balance of driving experience and mileage. The hybrid powertrain is capable of an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined.
This means you can go the distance between road trip stops, giving you more time to enjoy the experience of eating up miles on the highway or exploring country back roads.2. Practical interior
This is a practical SUV with plenty of space to stretch out — you get 41 inches of legroom up front and 37.4 inches in the back. There’s also an innovative sliding rear seat that not only splits 40/20/40 but can move forward and back to maximize cargo space or legroom, depending on your needs. If you need to load up for your next vacation or want to head up to the ski slope with your skis and boards, there’s up to 29.1 cu-ft of cargo space behind the rear seats, which opens up to 57.3 cu-ft with all seats folded.
3. Standard AWD
Whether you just want peace of mind when it’s wet and icy, or you want that added grip on dry pavement when putting the 2016 Q5 through its paces, the standard AWD comes in handy. This also means the Hybrid model is capable of towing an estimated 4,400 lbs when properly equipped.
That’s enough for some jet skis, a couple of motorbikes, or even a boat.4. Lengthy feature list
As you might expect from an Audi, you get a rich feature list in the 2016 Q5. Look out for standard driver aids such as blind spot warning and emergency braking assist. Entertainment-wise, you’ll love the crisp, clear sound from the Bang & Olufsen® sound system. Additionally, there are loads of little luxury touches throughout including a leather steering wheel, three-zone climate control, and cruise control.
5. City-sized
If you need an SUV for your friends, family, and pets but also want something easy to maneuver around town, the 2016 Audi Q5 Hybrid should be on your shopping list. It’s got plenty of space inside but it doesn’t have the bulk of larger SUVs, making it much more practical for narrow streets and cramped parking lots. The standard rearview camera makes parking a breeze, too.
