New Audi Q5

The first teaser is only limited to showcasing the new design of the headlights for the next-gen SUV. The lights feature a more extended, slimmer shape, with the LED DRLs stretched out even further. The lower bumper showcases sharper edges as compared to the outgoing model hinting at a more aggressive and sportier look for the SUV.

The upcoming Q5 is expected to undergo a comprehensive overhaul, owing to the shift to the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture. This new platform will support more efficient engines, marking the last generation of Audi's internal combustion engines as the company aims to transition to an all-electric lineup by 2033.

This new Q5 follows the debut of the A5 in July, which was the first internal combustion model to adopt Audi's updated naming system. According to this system, models with odd numbers will denote internal combustion engines, while even numbers will be reserved for electric vehicles.

In India, the Audi Q5 received its last significant update in 2021, when the facelifted version was launched. This model was assembled locally at Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited’s (SAVWIPL) plant in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. Audi has also introduced special editions in the Indian market, with the latest being the ‘Bold Edition,’ launched in July 2024.

Other Upcoming Audi Models are the New Q3, Q6 E-Tron, New A5 and E Concept
