Audi Q5

[duckers26]

I have been looking to change my TT for something more practical as have got into some outdoors activities including camping holidays which just do not fit. Originally looked at C Class/A4/3 series estate but found them very small in the back and to be honest not so keen on the estate car image - there is only two of us and it felt too much like a family car with an older person in mind.

Landed up looking at some of the smaller SUVs and in particular the Audi Q5. Are there some other things I should be looking at for something that has a reasonably youthful image but at the same time is practical?

The A4 and the Q5 are built on the same MLP floorpan so not sure how thats going to sort your space problem...

I think it is the angle of the seats - because the Q5 is taller you sit more upright and there seemed to be a lot more knee room in the back

I thought you said there were only two of you

I prefer the image of estates to lifestyle off-roaders fwiw, but if you want a soft roader the Q5 seems to get plenty of good reviews.

The other obvious rival is the BMW x3, though I am more drawn to the Volvo XC60 if I had to have a soft-roader. Audi A6 Allroad might be worth a look too, and should be the most roomy option.

There's only two of us but one of the reasons for getting rid of the TT is that it's a bit antisocial not being able to carry friends/family so need it to be comfortable when we do. Hadn't thought of XC60 but not very keen on the looks of X3.
