Once the competition sleeps, the world of progress ends permanently. So in order to keep this competition going especially in the world of luxury crossovers, the automobile companies keep on developing and upgrading their models. Audi Service Greensboro is no exception. They've been working overtime to keep the all new 2015 Audi Q5 at the top of the game. Recent additions to the Q5's portfolio include the TDI turbo-diesel V6 (428 lb-ft of torque and 31 miles per gallon on the highway) and the high-performance SQ5 (354-horsepower supercharged V6). If that turns out to sweep too much of your account then you have the option of choosing the lesser version of the supercharged V6 with 275 hp.

Like always, the Audi Q5 works with the A4 sedan and the driving characteristics that it hold, serves perfect for it. The Q5 generally holds much more of the cargo than any other A4 does. Often people prefer to buy these vehicles so that they can sit high feeling safe, and in doing so, they often compromise with the driving facilities. But in the Q5 models of Audi Greensboro NC, the compromises are reduced to such an extent that the drivers get no chance to notice them.

Notably the Q5s come in 3 different trim levels, the Premium, Premium Plus and the Prestige. The Hybrid is available only as a Prestige, and the other three specifications (TDI, 3.0T and SQ5) come in either Premium Plus or Prestige trim. While the 2.0T Premium comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, xenon headlights, LED running lights and taillights, a power tailgate, a sunroof, leather upholstery, power front seats with adjustable lumbar, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, wood-grain interior trim, trizone automatic climate control (including a separate temperature control for the back seat), Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, Audi's MMI infotainment system with a dash-mounted control knob, and a 10-speaker audio system with an auxiliary input, SD card reader and satellite radio; the 2.0T Premium Plus adds a panoramic sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors, keyless entry with push-button ignition, driver memory functions and heated seats. There are indeed some features that 3.0T Premium Plus provides like 19-in alloy wheels and S-line styling enhancements which are not available in the 2.0T version.

Under the cowl, the base 2.0T engine seems somewhat underpowered for luxury-crossover duty, though many owners seem to think it's just fine in the real world. Still, the technicians of Audi Repair Greensboro NC prefer the crotchety acceleration of the 3.0T or the vast torque of the TDI. They go on to suggest to grab an SQ5 and enjoy sports-car-like performance, including the benchmark 0-to-60 sprint in around 5 seconds. At a rational cornering speed the Q5s feel like a sports sedan, with a luxury outfit among the crossovers.

If you are looking for the best of the lot, then go for the Audi Q5s, as the stellar combination of the torque and mpg ratings makes it a complete package.
