How long is the Audi Q5?

[Anthony]

The length, width, and height of the Audi Q5 are 4629mm, 1898mm, and 1655mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2807mm. The Audi Q5 has been discontinued, and its replacement model is the Audi Q5L. The 2018 Audi Q5 adopts a front-engine four-wheel-drive layout, with full-time four-wheel drive and a Torsen center differential. The standard features of the 2018 Audi Q5 include: 1. Braking and Suspension: The front and rear brakes of the 2018 Audi Q5 are ventilated disc and disc types, with an electronic parking brake; 2. The front and rear suspensions of the 2018 Audi Q5 are five-link independent suspension and trapezoidal link independent suspension, with electric power steering.

Our newly purchased Audi Q5L is quite long, with official data showing around 4770mm, nearly 4.8 meters. This length requires a bit of extra attention when parking, especially in multi-story parking garages at shopping malls. However, the length has its advantages—the back seat can comfortably accommodate three adults without feeling cramped. Last week, we took a road trip with my parents and child, fitting two 24-inch suitcases and a stroller in the trunk, with plenty of space to spare. If we had bought the standard-wheelbase imported Q5, it would probably be about ten centimeters shorter.

I've previously test-driven and compared the two main specifications of the Audi Q5 currently available. The overseas standard wheelbase version measures approximately 4629mm, appearing more compact. The more common extended version in China, the Q5L, stretches to 4770mm, with the wheelbase alone increased by 88mm. In practice, the rear legroom feels significantly more spacious, offering about two fists' worth of extra space. This size is highly practical for daily use—for instance, it can fit a small washing machine when helping friends move, or accommodate camping gear for weekend trips. Of course, navigating narrow city roads requires extra attention to the rearview mirrors.

At the 4S dealership, we measured the display car with a tape measure. The domestic Q5L has a body length of 4770mm and a width of 1893mm. It's nearly 10cm longer than the BMW X3 and about 3cm shorter than the Mercedes-Benz GLC. This size positioning is quite precise, ensuring both practical interior space and avoiding the bulkiness and parking difficulties of the Q7. However, it's worth noting that the extended version has a slightly larger turning radius, requiring a couple more steering wheel turns for right-angle turns in older residential areas.

The changes can be seen from the chassis code: the previous 8R-generation Q5 measured 4629mm in length, while the new 80-generation Q5L has grown to 4770mm. Engineers stated that the lengthening was primarily to optimize rear-seat comfort, and in practice, there's over two palms' worth of knee room to the front seats. However, the longer body requires better suspension tuning, hence the adoption of a five-link independent suspension. It's recommended to opt for the 360-degree camera system to clearly see the distance between the rear bumper and the wall when reversing.

In terms of the size hierarchy of luxury mid-size SUVs, the Q5L ranks among the top. The body length is meticulously designed with light and shadow effects, such as the continuous waistline extending from the hood to the tailgate. The 4770mm length makes this line more elegant. Compared to the Volvo XC60 (4688mm) I've driven, the Audi's side profile clearly feels more fluid. However, the longer body comes with a drawback—it barely fits into mechanical parking spaces with a height limit of 1.8 meters in underground garages.
