Advancing everyday practicality and space: The latest generation of the Audi Q5 offers notable improvements in practicality and interior space. A key feature is the fully adjustable rear seat, which can slide and tilt to optimize either cargo volume or rear passenger legroom. With the rear seats folded, the cargo capacity expands to 56.9 cu. ft. in the SUV models and 53.1 cu. ft. in the Sportback versions. Thoughtful additions include a larger storage compartment under the center armrest, numerous smaller storage solutions, and an inductive and cooled wireless phone charging tray. Multiple USB-C ports are available throughout the cabin, with optional front ports supporting up to 60 watts and rear ports up to a combined 200 watts for charging larger devices.

New exterior design with strong stance and dynamic proportions: The exterior design of the 2025 Audi Q5 models is more expressive than ever, characterized by a taut shoulder line that creates a powerful and elongated silhouette.

The Q5 Sportback models feature a sloping, coupe-like roofline that enhances their sporty appeal. The rear design of the Q5 SUV is clean and refined, highlighted by a three-dimensional light strip that spans the vehicle’s width.

An advanced line exterior option and a black optic package for S models further enhance the visual differentiation. The 2025 Q5 lineup offers ten exterior colors and a range of alloy wheel options from 18 to 21 inches.
