2 Answers
Q5L and Q5 difference in general Q5L wheelbase becomes longer, the rest of the aspects are all reduced, but the price has not decreased. The details are as follows: 1. Appearance: First of all, the most obvious difference between Q5L and Q5 is the letter "L". L is the abbreviation of the word Long, meaning long. The Audi Q5L has a body length, width, and height of 4765/1898/1655mm, and a wheelbase of 2908mm. The overall length of the Audi Q5L is 136mm longer than the Audi Q5, and the wheelbase is 101mm longer. The English letter L means that the car is an extended version. 2. Power: The Audi Q5 is equipped with a 2.0T engine across the entire range, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum horsepower of 230PS and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. Although the Audi Q5L also uses a 2.0T engine across the entire range, it is divided into high and low power versions and is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3. Configuration: Four-wheel drive system. The Q5 uses a full-time four-wheel drive system, with the biggest highlight being the inclusion of a Torsen differential. The Q5L uses an on-demand four-wheel drive system without a Torsen differential.
As a car enthusiast, I find the differences between the Audi Q5 and Q5L quite noticeable, mainly in terms of space. The Q5L is a long-wheelbase version specifically tailored for the Chinese market, offering significantly more rear legroom, so you won't feel cramped like in the Q5. This is highly practical for family users, providing greater comfort when traveling with children or elderly passengers in the back. Design-wise, the Q5L's wheelbase has been extended by nearly 10 centimeters, which affects the body lines, making it appear more elongated and stately compared to the Q5's compact and sporty look. In terms of handling, the extended wheelbase results in slightly less agile cornering response, giving it a more stable and composed drive, ideal for daily commuting. Price-wise, the Q5L is generally more expensive, but the extra rear space may justify the cost depending on individual needs. If you frequently carry five passengers, the Q5L would be the better choice; otherwise, the standard Q5 offers better value for money.
