- 2018 Q5 named “Best Luxury Compact SUV” and 2018 A6 named “Best Luxury Midsize Car”
- Audi tied for most awards won by an individual brand
- Awards received at New York International Auto Show
At the New York International Auto Show, the 2018 Audi Q5 and 2018 Audi A6 have been named “2018 Best Cars for Families” in their classes by U.S. News & World Report.
According to U.S. News & World Report, “The Audi Q5, the Best Luxury Midsize SUV for Families, and the Audi A6, the Best Luxury Midsize Car for Families respectively, both won in large part because their backseats are larger than the competition. That extra space makes it easier to install car seats, keep kids in boosters from kicking the front seats and gives teens or older relatives plenty of space to stretch out.”

The standard MMI® Navigation plus with MMI® touch allows drivers to enter navigation destinations and telephone numbers by simply “writing” them. This allows easier access to radio presets, map navigation, destinations and directories. Additionally, the voice control system adds an extra level of personalization and ease.

The available head-up display can project relevant information regarding the car’s speed and navigation directly onto the windscreen, helping the driver keep their eyes on the road ahead of them.
Audi Side Assist With Pre Sense® Rear
Standard with the Premium Plus trim, Audi pre sense® rear monitors traffic following the vehicle when a turn signal is not on. Based on the vehicle’s own speed, the system can calculate the speed of the following cars. If a critical situation is sensed, the system can apply measures like partially closing the sunroof and side windows, and pre-tensioning front safety belts. Paired with Audi side assist for lane changing, a smarter drive is yours for the taking.
