New Audi Q5! The third generation arrives with electrified diesel and gasoline engines

Audi has just presented the new generation of one of its most popular models today, the Listen Q5The SUV from the German brand, which already has 15 years of experience and several hundred thousand units manufactured, debuts a new platform, design, technology and engines. This is the new Audi Q5.

After a few years in which Audi seemed to be a bit asleep due to its few major launches, in 2024 and in the next two years we are going to talk a lot about it. Audi A3 has been updated with the restyling, the new electric Q6 is about to debut, the new Audi A5 was recently presented and today the four-ring firm has revealed all the details of the new Q5.

Totally new: More youthful and with more character

The aesthetic change of this 5 Audi Q2025 is totalIt is true that the first two versions of the model were perhaps too conservative, both on the outside and on the inside. Now it completely breaks with the mould and uses a noticeably more aggressive front end, equipped with large air intakes and slim headlights.

As is now the norm in the latest vehicles from the German manufacturer, lighting plays a fundamental role in the design style. It uses Matrix LED headlights customizable in daylight, something that also happens in the back, with OLED lights which can even send emergency signals to vehicles behind in the event of, for example, a dangerous situation.

In other news, the new Audi Q5 can be dressed with light alloy wheels ranging from 17 inches in the most affordable versions to 21 inches in the higher-end versions. Audi also tells us that there are more aerodynamic wheel designs to improve efficiency in 17, 18 and 19 inches.

Meanwhile, in the cabin We see that it has also been completely rejuvenated. Visually it is more attractive, without a doubt, but unfortunately It has many touch buttons. In fact, even the mirror and seat adjustments, as well as the steering wheel controls, are touch-sensitive. I don't think this is a success, although we'll judge once we can test it.

Behind the wheel we see a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, which shares the dashboard with the central multimedia screen, which is 14,6 inches. In addition, a third screen can be located on the passenger side, which is called MMI Passenger Display and it is 10,9 inches.

Audi Q5 2025 Engines

The Audi Q5 is one of the first models to use the new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) platform. All launch engines are equipped with MHEV Plus technology, that is, thermal with a 48-volt network to reduce emissions and consumption, as well as to offer a better response. To this we must add that its electrical part is quite powerful, with 24 HP, and allows it to park and maneuver in electric mode.

The Audi Q5 is manufactured in Mexico, at the San José Chiapa factory. Deliveries will begin in early 2025.

The Audi Q5 is initially coming to Europe with three engines based on this micro-hybrid technology. Plug-in hybrid options will arrive later..

The access is the 2.0 TFSI with 204 hp and 330 Nm of front-wheel drive, which can also be optionally equipped with Quattro drive.

Moving on to the diesel branch, the 2.0 TDI by 204 CV and 400 Nm can be a very interesting option in this vehicle due to its performance and low consumption. It always has all-wheel drive.

And if we talk about benefits, the Audi SQ5 has already been presented. In the case of this higher-performance version we have a 6-litre TFSI V3 under the hood, which generates 367 hp and 550 Nm, which are sent to the asphalt by means of the four wheels.

Better comfort and precision

The four-ring brand says that this new Audi Q5 achieves a “Significant increase in comfort thanks to optimized suspension and steering settings"We'll have to test it to see if it's true.

What we do know is that it uses a suspension with passive dynamic adjustment as standard, through FSD shock absorbers (Frequency Selective Damping). A sportier suspension can be chosen, which is standard on the SQ5, and also optionally an adaptive air suspension.

As it could not be otherwise, it is up to date in terms of Active and passive safety systems and driving assistantsBy the way, it comes as standard with rear parking sensors with distance indicator, cruise control and speed limiter, lane departure warning, efficiency assistant and attention and drowsiness assistant.
