The Audi Q5 has been a popular midsize SUV in Germany and Europe for over 15 years. It is now more modern, spacious, and dynamic, powered by efficient petrol and diesel engines with MHEV plus technology. The Q5 features customizable digital light signatures, the E 1.2 electronics platform, modern driver assistance systems, and a sporty Audi SQ5 model. Future models with plug-in hybrid technology are planned.
GGernot Döllner, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, believes that the new Audi Q5 will be a surefire success. He states that the Audi Q5 has been the most successful and important midsize SUV model for over 15 years, and the new edition builds upon its proven characteristics. The Audi Q5 is the second model in the new generation of highly efficient combustion engines, signifying an important step in refreshing the company’s offerings. Döllner is confident that the new Audi Q5, with its dynamic SUV design, will build on the current success.
The new Q5 marks the launch of the third generation of this successful model. Since its initial launch in 2008, the midsize SUV has dominated the premium brand segment. The new Audi Q5 continues this success story.
Similar to the new Audi A5 models, the second model in the portfolio is based on the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC). This platform allows Audi to introduce high-volume models with high technical standards in different segments, providing future models with unique character.
The Audi Q5 sets new standards in the midsize premium SUV segment, combining sporty, technology-oriented design with unrivaled versatility and proven everyday use. Efficient and powerful engines with MHEV plus technology and plug-in hybrids represent Audi’s pursuit of future-proof premium mobility. With the E 1.2 electronics architecture, Audi integrates modern and future-proof connectivity and digitalization features into all new models.
For eight years, Audi has been crafting the Q5 models in Mexico, including the new Q5 in San José Chiapa, providing a key advantage in proximity to the North American market. The new Q5 marks the beginning of a new era, demonstrating Audi’s commitment to renewing its entire SUV portfolio with a mix of combustion engines and partially electrified variants.
The latest generation of the new Audi Q5 boasts significant key product attributes. Along with the new interior concept, the result is a comfortable interior space with excellent head and legroom.
A convenient feature of the Audi Q5 is the fully adjustable rear seat, standard from the S line upwards. It can be moved lengthways and tilted, increasing the boot volume while comfortably seating three people on the rear bench. With the rear seats folded down, the boot capacity increases to up to 1,473 liters, depending on the model variant. Other practical features include an even larger storage compartment under the center armrest compared to the previous model, numerous smaller storage areas, an inductive and cooled charging tray, and multiple USB-C ports. As part of the optional Sound & Vision Pack or standard on SQ5 Edition 1, the USB ports at the front can support charging capacities of up to 60 watts, while the rear ports can support charging capacities of up to 100 watts. This extra power allows larger devices, such as laptops, to be safely powered while driving.
