Is the 2026 Audi Q5 Sportback Good for Road Trips?

Long hours on California highways require a vehicle that is not only comfortable but enjoyable to drive. At Audi Santa Monica, we have several excellent road trip vehicles, with the 2026 Audi Q5 Sportback being one of the best. This premium crossover is perfect for family road trips, thanks to its efficient, powerful performance and high-tech and comfortable cabin.

Premium, Tech-Filled Cabin

The completely redesigned interior of the 2026 Audi Q5 Sportback boasts cutting-edge technology and premium comfort features to reduce driver fatigue and keep passengers entertained on long journeys. A beautiful panoramic sunroof floods the two rows of seating with natural light, complementing the multi-color ambient lighting array.

The driver-focused cockpit with a 14.5-inch MMI® touch display features both wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ software, which lets you connect to your favorite smartphone apps through the car’s interface. Another road-trip-ready feature is the available adaptive cruise assist. When activated, the system maintains a set time or distance from the vehicle ahead and keeps you centered in your lane.

Fun and Efficient Performance

An athletic powertrain gives the 2026 Audi Q5 Sportback the capability to tackle both mountain passes and flat highway stretches. Coming standard is a responsive turbocharged four-cylinder engine that cranks out a robust 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a quick-shifting seven-speed automatic transmission. Standard quattro® all-wheel drive works by continuously monitoring road traction to distribute power, ensuring a smooth and confident ride through all weather conditions and even on rugged roads.
