The Q5 range from the previous generation will still be sold in 2025, but a new model with even more tech features will take its place. Like the old model, the new Q5 has a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 268 horsepower and all-wheel drive as standard. Even though the outside has been remade, the inside still has Audi’s simple Bauhaus style. Google’s Android Automotive operating system was used to make the software inside the glass, and the panel is mostly made up of up to three digital screens. Still waiting to make a change? It’s all right. It’s yours to keep an older Q5 with 201, 261, or 362 horsepower for another year. The new Q5, on the other hand, is more modern, has better technology, and fits better with newly improved rivals like the Mercedes-Benz GLC-class and BMW X3. What's New? Even though the Q5 is getting a complete makeover this year, the old-generation car will still be for sale along with the new one in 2025. Pros and Cons Pros Stylish style on the outside and inside. Better building and better materials. Very fast acceleration. Cons A new version should be out soon. Learn how to drive a car that is disconnected. Features of older technology. Engine, Transmission, and Performance The latest version of the Q5 only comes with one option: a seven-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, and a 268-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine. All other models have the same engine. Like the last generation of cars, the Q5 40’s 201-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine is paired with a seven-speed automatic gearbox and Quattro all-wheel drive. To get the 261-hp Q5 45 type, you have to pay an extra $3,400, but it is well worth it. The regular engine in the 40 is fine, but the extra 60 horsepower in the 45 makes a noticeable change and injects some fun into an otherwise dull commute. The 55 plug-in hybrid, on the other hand, has electric motors that add up to 362 horsepower, making it the fastest Q5 from the previous model. The suspension system of the old Q5 is well taken care of, so it rides smoothly and safely on a range of surfaces. An adjustable suspension system is also included. This system provides a smooth ride while also allowing faster reflexes on flat areas, with generally good results. As soon as we get a chance to test drive the new Q5, we’ll add our thoughts to this page. Safety There is an option package you need to buy if you want more advanced driver assistance features than the basic automated emergency braking and lane departure warning. Visit the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) websites to learn more about the Q5’s crash test findings. The following are important safety features: Forward collision warning is built into standard automatic emergency brakes. Normal warning for leaving your lane. It has adaptive speed control that can read traffic signs. Internal and External Cargo Capacity The previous Q5 was appealing because it had a roomy interior, was made of high-quality materials, and had a simple but useful design. The new model has more technology in the form of more screens, but this concept is still the same. The interior is made of leather, cloth, and metal, which makes it easy to match Audi’s other SUVs. The flat-top and flat-bottom steering wheels add a sporty touch. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG We still need the EPA’s predictions for the fifth quarter of 2025’s fuel economy. While the new Q5 has a slightly more powerful turbo four-cylinder engine than the last generation, it should still get 23 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined, which are the same fuel economy numbers as the last generation. Our highway fuel economy route goes at 75 mph, but we have yet to test either model. We’ll let you know as soon as we do. Infotainment and Connectivity The Audi Q5 has a wall of display screens on the dashboard that face the driver and front passenger. The infotainment screen is a 14.5-inch touchscreen, and the gauge panel is an 11.9-inch digital screen. If the 10.9-inch display for the passenger isn’t big enough, you can buy another one. The driver can’t be sidetracked while the people in the front seats use the internet because of a privacy screen. The infotainment system’s software was made with Google’s Android Automotive, but we expect both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to work as normal. This has a head-up monitor and a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. Range, Charging, and Battery Life During testing on our track, the 2021 Q5 45 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. On the track, a 2021 Q5 55 plug-in hybrid with 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque beat the performance-focused SQ5 Sportback by 0.3 seconds, going from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. We have yet to test the new Q5, but we’ll add our acceleration results to this piece as soon as we do. How Much They Cost and Which to Buy Audi has yet to say how much the 2019 Q5 will cost, so it’s hard to say which trim level is the best deal. We’ll make changes to this page as soon as we learn more about the new Q5’s trim levels, features, and prices. We have now sorted the whole Q5 lineup of both new and old models by price, which is what the new Q5 will cost. Looking to buy a Q5 from the previous generation? We think the middle Premium Plus trim is the best deal in terms of price and features. It also comes with Audi’s Virtual Cockpit digital gauge panel. Of the old Q5, you can choose between the squareback and swoopy-looking Sportback body styles. Both are shown in this price list.
