The new Audi Q5 is entering the market with high expectations. As it arrives at its third generation, will the Q5 maintain its status as a best-seller in Europe’s B-segment? With a partially electrified powertrain and a revolutionary Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), Audi is betting on innovation to offer a versatile and elegant vehicle that meets today’s demands.
Exterior and Interior Design: Elegance and Functionality
Visually, the new Q5 stands out with its sportier, more dynamic lines. The redesigned Singleframe grille and sharper headlights give it a confident road presence. Customization options abound, with three exterior trim variants and a palette of 11 colors, ranging from the classic Arkona White to the refined Sakhir Gold.
The interior is a true blend of comfort and technology. Audi has focused on a clean, minimalist layout and a cutting-edge Digital Stage, featuring a 14.5-inch MMI touchscreen and a 11.9-inch virtual cockpit. This is complemented by sustainable materials and sophisticated ambient lighting for a premium driving experience.
Performance and Technology
The new Q5 offers a range of powerful yet efficient engines, featuring the MHEV plus technology. This system not only reduces emissions but also enhances fuel efficiency. Whether it’s the 204 hp 2.0 TFSI or the 367 hp V6 TFSI in the SQ5 model, each engine promises an agile and dynamic driving experience.
Driver assistance systems are also prominent, with features like adaptive driving assistance, efficiency assistant, and cruise control, ensuring every journey is safer and more comfortable.
