Audi Q5
While large format utility vehicles have been dominating the luxury model category, Audi gives us the Q5, a more compact version of the very popular Q7. It uses the same silhouette than its big sister, and boasts a very sophisticated interior design. It handles just like an Audi should, though the 270 horsepower 3.2-litre V6 engine is the only one available. It makes for one of the best balanced cross-over vehicle in this category.
