Crossovers are meant to fuse the characteristics of different vehicle types. But they are mostly seen as utility vehicles, imbibing most of the SUV features while breathing in some luxury components from the compact family cars. But when the maker is a luxury brand with worldwide fame, like Audi, you can expect the meter of luxuries soaring higher in any crossover model, that holds behind it the Audi emblem..
The 2021 Q5 which is such a crossover model from the house of Audi now has received a prominent makeover with a new face to grab the attention of the passerby, reflected a member of the Tulare Audi dealer.

The 2021 Audi Q5 which can seat up to five adult travelers, will be sparing about 27 cubic feet of space for the cargo items behind the rear seat.
