Audi Q5 Interior & Cargo Rating
Although it doesn't have the wow factor of some other new Audi cabins, the Q5's interior gets a lot of the basics right. There is good space for front and rear occupants, the seats are comfortable, and the build quality is of a high standard. The new 10.1-inch touchscreen has that 'stuck on' look that isn't as visually appealing as a more integrated display, but at least it responds to inputs quickly and is easy to reach. Some of the many standard features include lane departure warning, Audi side assist, front/rear parking sensors, heated wing mirrors, three-zone automatic climate control, and heated front seats. Higher-spec versions enjoy the Audi virtual cockpit, a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, and a top-view camera system.

Seating and Interior Space
Whether seated in the front or at the back, the Audi Q5 offers a good amount of leg- and headroom for even occupants up to six-feet tall. However, three at the back will be a bit of a squeeze in terms of shoulder room. The seats themselves are very comfortable, and even the base variant gets classy leather-upholstered seats. There are some minor quirks, such as a driver's side door armrest that doesn't feel close enough to where your elbow would naturally rest. On a more positive note, visibility from the driver's seat is good, in part aided by front roof pillars that are not too thick. Ingress and egress pose no issues as the doors are quite tall but not overly long; this improves matters when another car parks too close to you.

Interior Colors and Materials
Leather upholstery is standard and, for the Premium model, you can choose from four color schemes: Atlas Beige with Granite Gray stitching, Black with Rock Gray stitching, Okapi Brown with Granite Gray stitching, and Rock Gray with Granite Gray stitching. These color choices will also dictate whether the headliner is finished in Gray, Black, or Beige. Brown Walnut Wood inlays and Birch Wood Natural Gray brown inlays are on offer and neither will cost anything extra.
One step up is the Premium Plus, which adds the option of sportier front seats for $1,450 in the same colors; this upgrade forms part of the Warm Weather Package and also includes front-seat ventilation, four-way power lumbar support in front, and sunshades for the rear windows. On the Prestige model, the upgraded leather sports seats are equipped by default.
2023 Q5 Trunk and Cargo Space
While it isn't the best in the segment for carrying cargo, the Audi Q5 is still a practical SUV. Whether you go for the plug-in hybrid variant or not, cargo space is the same. That means that you get 25.8 cubic feet of space behind the second row and 54 cubes when these seats are folded. These numbers drop slightly to 25.6/53.5 cubes respectively if the sunroof is equipped, but this is a negligible difference. The trunk itself is a usefully square shape and, with the parcel shelf still in place, you can load one large suitcase and two smaller ones. With a 40/20/40 split-folding design, longer items can be accommodated while still transporting passengers at the back. In our Audi Q5 review, we did notice a bit of a load lip which means that heavier items can't be slid out of the back.
In the cabin, there are numerous useful solutions for stashing smaller items. There are four cupholders, a regular-sized glovebox, and a useful compartment below the center armrest. The door pockets are usefully wide and there are seatback map pockets.

2023 Q5 Infotainment and Features
Features
Three trim levels are on offer which may lead you to believe that the base Premium is a bit sparse, but this is far from the case. Even this variant comes with a rearview camera, heated front seats, power-adjustable front seats, and automatic climate control. The wing mirrors are heated and power-adjustable, too, while the safety specification includes lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, front/rear parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert. As you progress up the trim ladder, features added include adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist, a top-view camera system, and a panoramic sunroof. The fully-loaded Prestige models enjoy ventilated front seats with four-way power lumbar support, heated rear seats, Matrix-design LED headlights with washers, and a head-up display.
Infotainment
All 2022 Audi Q5 models make use of a new 10.1-inch MMI infotainment touchscreen interface running the MIB 3 software. Although the screen responds well and makes effective use of haptic feedback, one's reliance on this screen has increased as the traditional dial has been removed. The system comes with features like Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the usual USB/auxiliary input ports. You have to go for the mid-range Premium Plus trim to get SiriusXM satellite radio as standard, but this level does introduce the superb 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit plus digital gauge cluster. It offers three viewing modes and pin-sharp graphics. All Q5s come with the new Integrated Toll Module - this is a toll transponder integrated into the rearview mirror allowing for easy access to toll road services in both North America and parts of Canada.
The base model gets a 10-speaker sound system, but a 755-watt Bang & Olufsen 3D premium sound system with no less than 19 speakers is available on the mid-range Premium Plus. The higher spec Prestige trim level gets this 3D sound system as standard, along with navigation.
