In place of the standard 6-speed manual, the Audi Q5 test car had the 7-speed S-Tronic automatic gearbox. It sounds simple enough but is actually a complicated system involving a twin clutch that can complete gear changes in a fraction of a second. It adds £1,420 but the result is a super-smooth change and, even in the sportier, manual-sequential mode, the change is almost imperceptible.
The test car carries an OTR price of £32,890. As the top-of-the-range, the Audi Q5 S-Line should be well equipped and it is but some items that you would expect to be standard that are, in fact options. The electrically operated, folding and heated door mirrors, electric front seats or heated front seats, for that matter, are extras costing £180, £510 and £270, respectively.
