I often get asked about the Audi Q5 and Q5L. As a car enthusiast, I've found the main difference lies in space. The Q5L is the Chinese extended version of the standard Q5, with a significantly longer wheelbase, providing nearly an extra fist's worth of rear legroom, making it more spacious and comfortable to sit in. When I take my family on trips, both the elderly and children say they don't feel cramped, and the trunk space is slightly larger too. However, in terms of handling, the Q5L feels a bit heavier around corners and isn't as agile as the original. Price-wise, the Q5L is more common in China, with easier access to parts, while the global Q5 is more compact. Overall, if you prioritize family practicality, go for the Q5L; if you're after a sportier drive, choose the Q5.
