The Q5 TFSI is the entry-level version of the premium mid-size SUV at launch, starting from $81,000 before on-roads.

It replaces the entry-level TDI, swapping diesel power for petrol. In this case, it is a front-wheel-drive 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol (150kW/340Nm), driving the front wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission.

However, for this new-generation version, it also adds hybrid assist thanks to Audi's new MHEV+ electrified powertrain.

Standard features include 19-inch alloy wheels, matrix LED headlights, an 11.9-inch digital dash, and a 14.5-inch multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

It also has online connectivity with built-in navigation, an eight-speaker sound system, leather interior trim with brushed aluminium inlays, a wireless phone charger, 360-degree parking camera, a power adjust driver's seat, heated front seats, tri-zone climate, as well as keyless entry and push-start ignition.

The MHEV+ system, which provides an additional 18kW/230Nm of electric assistance, powered by a 1.7kWh battery pack, helps the Q5 TFSI achieve fuel efficiency of 5.7L/100km.

Boot space measures 520 litres with five seats up or up to 1473 litres with the second row folded down. There is no spare, just a tyre repair kit under the floor.

Audi's Q5 is covered by a five-year and unlimited kilometre warranty, while servicing is at 12 months or 15,000km intervals.

Servicing is cheapest when five years are purchased up-front, with the TFSI costing $3520 ($704 per year) to keep on the road.

Despite studying ancient history and law at university, it makes sense Tom ended up writing about cars, as he spent the majority of his waking hours finding ways to drive as many as possible. His fascination with automobiles was also accompanied by an affinity for technology growing up, and he is just as comfortable tinkering with gadgets as he is behind the wheel. His time at CarsGuide has given him a nose for industry news and developments at the forefront of car technology.
