Why should you buy- Audi Q5

Audi has launched the latest generation Q5 in India for Rs 53.25 lakhs (All-India ex-showroom).

Well what are the highs and lows of wanting to own a Q5? Read on to find out

What’s good about it?
As is expected of a car in this part of the market, you get a decent feature list, lots of interior room and a subtle design that keeps the car under the radar. The design is exactly like that of the Q7 which is not a bad thing at all as the Q7 is not a bad looking car. We particularly like the design of the full LED head lamps as they give the Q7 a distinct look.

What’s bad about it?
First and foremost, Audi has launched the car only with a diesel engine option. This means those who want a petrol powered model for this price and brand will be left without a choice. However, it seems more than likely that Audi will bring in a petrol option for the Q5 at a later date. The interiors while functional and feature-loaded, are a bit dull when compared to the rivals
