2017 Highlights: Audi Q5 Irish jig 30 | 12 | 2017

WE’VE ALREADY DRIVEN what will be the best-selling version of Audi’s latest Q5 SUV, the 2.0TDI. But in light of all the bad press diesel is  getting at the moment, we thought we’d spend some time with the 2.0TFSI petrol. The four-cylinder 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol delivers 248bhp and 370Nm. Mated to an S tronic seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox, it reacts quickly on kick-down, and flits between gears in the blink of an eye.

We spent the best part of a week with the car, covering 657 miles, using the Q5 in an environment in which it thrives; long, leisurely drives.
