Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Audi has introduced the fastback Q5 Sportback model for 2021 and given the squareback Q5 a light makeover to bring its styling up to date with the rest of the lineup.The plug-in hybrid model receives similar updates to the exterior styling and sports unique 19- or 20-inch wheels. It too sees a slight horsepower bump this year to 362-hp. A Sport Plus package is available for the Q5 PHEV which adds adaptive air suspension and summer tires, among other items.

PROS
Slick looks,
stylish interior,
plenty of technology features.

CONS
Not as capacious as some rivals,
short on driving character,
stingy complimentary maintenance plan.

Small-ish third row

The sporty-looking XSE trim level joins the Highlander lineup for 2021. It punches up the looks with more aggressive exterior styling, unique 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, and a sportier calibration for the suspension. Elsewhere, LED projection headlamps are now a standard feature and all models receive additional driver-assistance features, including semi-automated emergency steering technology that's designed to help a driver avoid collisions.

Pros
Attractive design,
optional hybrid powertrain,
generous standard features.

Cons
Few driving thrills,
skimpy third-row room,
fussy interior styling.
