The new Q5 gets bigger holes in the radiator grille, which is now more of a 3D design. The grille also conceals the forward-looking sensors. And the air vents are real air vents, not just for show.

The Q5’s spoiler projects a brake light onto the rear window across its entire length, in addition to providing direct light.

When that happens, we’ll be restricted to a pair of models. There’s a 268 hp (200 kW) 2.0 L four-cylinder TSFI engine that powers the Q5, or a 362 hp (270 kW) 3.0 L V6, which powers the SQ5. Both are all-wheel drive, and both use seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions. But we won’t get a less-powerful 2.0 L Q5 here, nor the 48 V mild-hybrid powertrain.
The US is also set to miss out on the animations in the Q5’s taillights. Like the A5, A6 e-tron, and Q6 e-tron, our cars will still arrive with three-dimensional OLED light clusters, but owners will have to content themselves with the ability to pick between eight different static themes. And don’t expect to be able to order a Q5 with a cloth interior—American Audi customers just want leather, apparently.
The similarities with the A5 continue on the inside. There’s more headroom, and it’s an airier cabin generally given the larger internal volume, but the layout of the dash, console, and infotainment screens is basically the same, including the optional passenger infotainment screen, which has an active privacy mode, so the driver can’t see what’s being displayed while the car is moving.
Pricing should be available closer to the Q5 going on sale in early 2025.
