Audi Q5
The Q5 is a reasonably sized luxury SUV with quattro all-wheel drive. 2013 ushers in a series of major changes for this good-looking vehicle. These include serious esthetic upgrades and a new hybrid drivetrain. Of course, conventional 4-cylinder and V6 engines are also available. The 8-speed automatic gearbox with manual mode confirms that the Q5 is amongst the most modern vehicles in its category.
