Audi SUVs have a lot to offer to drivers who want a dynamic, luxurious and practical vehicle, but you might not have known that they are also very competent at towing. Here are the four best Audi SUVs to choose if you often need to tow heavy equipment.
The Audi Q5
The 2023 Audi Q5 is a great choice for drivers who occasionally need to tow things such as a small travel trailer, a boat, or a few ATVs. This is because the Q5 55 TFSI and the SQ5 can both tow up to 4,409 pounds (2,000 kilograms) when equipped with the towing package. As with every other Audi SUV, the standard Quattro all-wheel drive powertrain means that the Q5 can tow these loads with confidence even on icy roads or over rough terrain.
The Audi Q8 e-tron
While many believe electric vehicles are ill-suited to towing, this is not the case of the 2023 Audi Q8 e-tron. Indeed, this model is capable of towing up to 3,968 pounds (1,800 kilograms) when properly equipped and the instant torque delivery of its electric motors makes for impressive accelerations at any speed, even with a trailer attached. While it is true that towing reduces the range of the vehicle, the Q8 e-tron’s large 95 kWh battery provides ample range even when pulling a trailer. In addition, the Q8 e-tron comes with complimentary fast charging on the Electrify Canada network which can significantly reduce the cost of travel.
The Q7
The 2023 Audi Q7 is the most practical Audi SUV due to its seven-passenger seating capacity, its generous cargo space, and its 7,701 pounds (3,493 kilograms) of towing capacity. This rating is achieved by selecting the Q7 55 TFSI or the SQ7 with the trailer towing package. This capacity allows the Q7 to comfortably tow equipment such as midsize travel trailers and horse trailers, making it ideal for family vacations.
The Audi Q8
The 2023 Audi Q8 shares its underpinnings and its powertrains with the Q7, which is why it is also capable of towing up to 7,701 pounds (3,493 kilograms). This makes the Q8 an excellent choice for drivers who want a luxurious and dynamic SUV that can work hard when the need arises. Since the very powerful RS Q8 also offers the same towing capacity, those who want a sports car but need to tow don’t have to choose anymore.
