The All-New Audi Q5

More Dynamic, More Progressive, More Audi

The Audi Q5 has long been a cornerstone of the German automaker’s premium SUV lineup, blending elegance, performance, and practicality in a refined, mid-size package. With the launch of the all-new Audi Q5, the brand takes this winning formula even further, introducing a vehicle that is more dynamic, more progressive, and unmistakably more Audi in every sense.

Striking New Design Language

The all-new Audi Q5 introduces a sharper, more athletic design that reflects the evolution of Audi’s progressive design language. The bold Singleframe grille is wider and flatter, flanked by sleek LED headlamps with optional Matrix LED technology for precision lighting and enhanced visibility. Sculpted lines run across the flanks, giving the SUV a more defined and muscular stance, while the redesigned rear end features dynamic lighting and integrated chrome exhaust trims that signal performance and class.

With new paint finishes, alloy wheel options, and refined exterior detailing, the Q5 exudes modern sophistication and stands out confidently whether parked in the city or cruising on the highway.

A Driver-Centric Interior with Advanced Tech

Step inside the new Audi Q5, and you’re welcomed into a cabin that balances driver-focused functionality with upscale comfort. Audi’s attention to detail is evident in every stitch, surface, and interface. The dashboard is dominated by a 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen display, featuring the latest MIB 3 infotainment platform, offering lightning-fast responses, natural voice commands, and seamless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Behind the wheel, the 12.3-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus delivers fully customizable digital instrumentation — from navigation maps to driving data — all within the driver’s direct line of sight. Ambient lighting, premium materials, and meticulously crafted surfaces create an atmosphere of elegance that’s unmistakably Audi.

Performance Meets Efficiency

True to its heritage, the new Audi Q5 delivers performance that thrills. Under the hood, the Q5 comes equipped with a range of powerful and efficient engines, including a 2.0-liter TFSI turbocharged engine with mild-hybrid technology (MHEV). This system not only boosts acceleration but also improves fuel efficiency by intelligently managing energy during braking and coasting.

For those seeking added performance, Audi also offers the Q5 Sportback and SQ5 variants, which come with enhanced powertrains and sport-tuned suspension for a more aggressive driving experience. The quattro all-wheel drive system remains a core component, offering unmatched grip and handling in all weather and road conditions.

Enhanced Safety and Driver Assistance

Audi has always prioritized safety, and the all-new Q5 is no exception. It features a suite of driver assistance systems including adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic assist, and a top-view 360-degree camera system for confident parking and maneuvering.

Audi Pre Sense City helps detect potential collisions and can initiate braking if necessary, while optional enhancements such as Traffic Jam Assist and Emergency Assist provide peace of mind in busy urban environments or long-distance journeys.

Practicality and Versatility

Beyond its style and performance, the Q5 remains a practical choice for families and professionals alike. With a generous boot space of up to 550 liters (expandable to over 1,500 liters with the rear seats folded), it easily accommodates luggage, gear, or groceries. The rear bench offers sliding and reclining options, giving passengers added comfort on longer drives.

Audi’s smart keyless entry, hands-free tailgate, and powered seats make everyday usability a breeze. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend getaway or navigating your daily routine, the Q5 adapts effortlessly to your lifestyle.
