Introducing the 2022 Audi Q5: Why Audi's best-seller will remain on top

If you like your luxury in a compact, easy-to-maneuver configuration, you owe yourself a look at the new 2022 Audi Q5 luxury compact SUV at Audi Nyack in Nyack, NY. The Q5 is the perennial "most popular" Audi and the new 2022 Q5 is destined to stay in that same lofty position. The Q5 offers two gas-powered engines and a plug-in hybrid. Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive comes standard and there's an elegant upscale vibe all over the cabin.

Audi trim levels explained

Audi has a total of 12 trims for 2022 and the naming approach needs a little explanation. Audi adds a two-digit number after the model number to indicate the kind of powertrain the car is running with. An example: If the full name is "Audi Q5 40" or "Audi Q5 45," the "40" and "45" refer to a four-cylinder gas engine, and the "45" will have more horsepower than a "40." A "55" model is an optional plug-in hybrid like the high-end Prestige 55 PHEV.

Performance in the 2022 Audi Q5

The base engine under the hood of the new 2022 Q5 40 is a turbo-four with 201 horsepower to take you easily around New City or Pearl River, NY. Take a step up to the Q5 45 and the horsepower steps up with you to 261. The Q5 45 was timed by the editors of Car & Driver in a zero-to-60 sprint and came in at 5.5 seconds. With the plug-in hybrid, horsepower ramps up to 326. Car & Driver's time for the zero-to-60 was an even faster 4.5 seconds.

Fuel economy in the 2022 Audi Q5

The environmental protection folks estimate that the 2022 Audi Q5 40 will deliver gas mileage in the neighborhood of 23 when you're in the city and about 29 when you're on highways near Westwood, NY. When Car & Driver took the plug-in hybrid for a test run, mileage was a little less at 26 miles with every gallon of gas. Buyers should note that the electric-only range for the plug-in is only 23 miles so you'll want to limit that kind of driving.
