CarExpert's Take
James Wong
Marketplace Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Excellent performance and economy balance
- Undercuts rivals by tens of thousands of dollars
- Sportback styling hasn't compromised practicality much
Misses
- The looks won't appeal to everyone – but isn't that the point?
- Not much difference in presentation to a standard Q5 Sportback
- Steering is a bit numb
NA
