What's New for 2025?
Redesigned for 2025, the new-generation Q5 is trying hard not to mess with success. Performance and versatility are very close to what the outgoing model provided, though the screen-tastic interior is certainly a change of pace.

FAST FACTS
"Thoroughly competent, if not exactly exciting, the Q5 finds its footing again with a full 2025 redesign. The styling is clearly sharper and more contemporary, while inside there's a 14.5-inch MMI touchscreen that makes the previous Q5's dated cabin a distant memory. The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine is quick and refined, but its fuel economy fails to impress. The same goes for the sporty SQ5, which has a fantastic turbo V6 but falls behind in the efficiency column. No longer available, for now, is the Q5 plug-in hybrid."—Ranked #5 out of 16 Compact Luxury SUVs
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2025 Audi Q5 that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The next-generation 2025 Audi Q5 2.0T is broadly similar to its predecessor. On the powertrain front, you get the same pairing of a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual. The biggest change is the dashboard, which now hosts significantly more screen acreage than before.
Like the regular four-cylinder Q5, the next-generation 2025 Audi SQ5 retains its predecessor's engine, in this case a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6. The most obvious difference is that the 2025 SQ5 utilizes Audi's seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual, replacing the eight-speed conventional automatic used by the previous-generation SQ5.
