Premium vs Premium Plus: Interior Features
The 2021 Audi Q5 Premium and Premium Plus trims are almost identical when it comes to the dimensions of the interior. Both trim levels offer more than enough wiggle room for up to five passengers, as you'll see by the interior dimensions below. However, the Audi Premium Plus trim comes standard with a panoramic sunroof, which alters the first-row headroom slightly.
| Front Row of Seats | Second Row of Seats |
Headroom with Sunroof | 38.1 inches | 37.7 inches |
Headroom without Sunroof | 39.6 inches | 39.3 inches |
Legroom | 40.9 inches | 38 inches |
Shoulder Room | 57.7 inches | 56.5 inches |
On top of all this space you'll get for you and all of your passengers inside these trim levels, you'll also get plenty of cargo space. Both trims offer at least 25 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats and more than 53 total cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded.
The similarities of the interiors of these trims don't stop there, though. Both offer sliding 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats, powered driver lumbar control, leather seating surfaces, and a 3-zone automatic climate control system.
However, as the higher trim level, the Premium Plus trim does offer a few extra features, including the Audi virtual cockpit plus, putting a 12.3-inch instrument display in your cabin.
Premium vs Premium Plus: Advanced Technology
On top of all the comfort and space you'll have inside the Audi Q5 Premium and the Audi Q5 Premium Plus trims, you'll also have a handful of top-of-the-line technology features. Inside the Premium trim, you'll find a 7-inch color driver information display and an Audi smartphone interface.
You'll be able to multitask with turn-by-turn navigation while you stay in the loop with your favorite smartphone apps via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
Things begin to differ a bit between the Premium and the Premium Plus trims when it comes to active safety. The Premium Plus trim offers a few extra safety features, including Audi active lane assist and adaptive cruise control with Traffic Jam assist.
The latter feature helps while on longer drives, assisting you with gentle acceleration and braking to keep you a safe distance from others on the road. It also assists in keeping your Q5 in your lane at higher speeds on the open road and during traffic jams.
These features come on top of the safety feature it shares with the Premium trim: Audi pre sense® city. This system will notify you of stationary vehicles and pedestrians even up to speeds of 52 MPH to help warn you of possible collisions. It can also apply the brakes to stop your vehicle at speeds less than 25 MPH.
