Reporters from the Spanish outlet Km77 put the new Audi Q5 through a series of dynamic trials, including the famed moose test and a handling slalom. The test car was a 2.0 TDI Mild Hybrid with 204 hp, paired with a 7-speed S tronic gearbox and air suspension.In the avoidance maneuver, the SUV stayed composed at an entry speed of 73 km/h, a figure that surpasses the BMW X3. Testers did point out that the Q5’s reactions weren’t entirely uniform—shifting from mild understeer to instances of oversteer—and the stability control occasionally stepped in a bit too eagerly. Even so, the overall balance remained reassuring, with the electronic safety net leaning toward caution rather than intrusion.On the slalom, the Audi Q5 delivered with confidence: steering was precise, and the car held the chosen line even at higher speeds. Here the stability control acted more gently, supporting rather than interrupting the driver’s inputs. That measured calibration adds a layer of trust that shows up clearly in quick transitions.Summing up, the experts noted that the Q5 achieves a well-judged blend of comfort and safety—an outcome they deem worthy of first place among top-tier SUVs in 2026.
