Video: Audi Q5 first drive - a Porsche Macan beater?

18 October 2016
Review

The Audi Q5 is officially the brand's best-selling model, but the old car fell short of its Volkswagen Group stablemate, the Porsche Macan, for driving dynamics and ultimate thrills.

Can the new 2016 Q5 and its lengthy list of improvements make a bolder charge for the class crown? Autocar deputy editor Mark Tisshaw heads to the USA to find out.

Mexican roads

Amazing tarmac in Mexico, I had forgotten what new tarmac looks like

Are you trying to send me to sleep?

Seriously? Who thought this chap would be good in a video? I'm sure you're a very nice person Mark but your voice isn't right for these videos - its so monotone and dull! Plus your opinion isn't an opinion - its like Siri reading the tech sheet out whilst moving the car around a dusty road.

Bring back Chris Harris!
