Audi Q5
The Audi Q5 is a mid-size SUV known for its practicality and superior comfort. To put it simply, the Q5 is the perfect all-rounder; whatever it does, it does exceptionally well. The 2.0L petrol engine is refined, powerful, and works wonderfully with the Quattro AWD system. Internationally, the next-generation model has been unveiled and is likely to be showcased at the Bharat Mobility Show in 2025. It is high time to launch its new generation as the rivals are far ahead in terms of features and design language.
Audi Q5 Latest Update
Last Updated On 8th Sept'25: The Audi A6, currently in its 5th generation, hasn’t received any updates in a long time. However, Audi has globally revealed its 6th generation, which will launch in 2026 internationally, but there are no reports on the India launch.
One of the best-selling Audis in India, the Q5 strikes a perfect balance between off-road fun and everyday usability, with very easy-to-drive characteristics. This car is available in two variants - with the same 2.0L engine. To add more, it's been a long time since the automaker has given it any updates.

Q5 Highlights
On Target
The Audi Q5 blends understated luxury with everyday usability. It’s not the flashiest SUV out there, but it nails the basics with comfort, build quality, and a strong sense of refinement.
What We Like
Superb ride comfort and cabin insulation, solid build quality, feature-rich interior, smooth and refined 2.0L turbo-petrol engine with quattro AWD confidence.
What We Do Not Like
No diesel or hybrid option, design feels a bit conservative, limited rear seat under-thigh support, and pricey compared to rivals.
