2 Answers
Audi Q5I's hood latch is located under the left door near the driver's compartment. Below is an introduction to the Audi Q5L: 1. Overview: The Audi Q5L was officially launched by FAW-Volkswagen on July 6, 2018, in Anlong, Guizhou. It is the first comprehensively upgraded long-wheelbase premium mid-size SUV, the all-new Audi Q5L. The new model comes in six variants. The all-new Audi Q5L is the world's first long-wheelbase premium mid-size SUV, with a wheelbase extended by 101 mm compared to the previous generation Audi Q5 and 88 mm longer than the overseas standard-wheelbase version, reaching a body length of 4,765 mm. 2. Vehicle Configuration: The latest generation MMI high-end navigation system offers diverse infotainment functions, an in-car air circulation system, a B&O 3D sound system with up to 19 speakers, and the Audi virtual cockpit. This includes the MMI-touch touch panel with haptic feedback and the Audi smartphone interface, which fully supports Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife, and Tencent My-car.
I've been driving an Audi Q5 for several years and often do minor repairs myself. The hood release latch is actually located on the driver's side, specifically on the inner side of the door frame, near the bottom. There's a plastic pull handle that you can feel when you pull it. I remember the first time I drove the Q5, I couldn't find it and was in a panic until I realized it's quite hidden, tucked near the foot pedal. Don't just stare at the dashboard—look down for that pull ring, and you'll get it. If it doesn't budge, the latch might be rusted or the cable broken—this tends to happen in rainy weather. I recommend checking it during routine maintenance and applying some lubricant to prevent rust, so you don't get stuck in a critical moment. Audi's design is quite user-friendly, but the location is a bit dark—turning on a light makes it easier to find. In short, the latch is right there—just stay calm and feel around.
