Launch Of 3rd Gen - Audi Q5

Meet the all-new Audi Q5 – where innovation, comfort, and style take the lead 

Cars&TechSG was at the launch of the 2025 3rd generation Audi Q5. The new Q5 inspires confidence with refined handling and impressive driving dynamics, making it ideal for daily urban life. Meanwhile, the Audi Q5 Sportback blends sporty coupé styling with the practicality and comfort of an SUV. Both models bring modern technology, versatile interiors, and a progressive design language to Singapore's streets.

As the first SUV built on Audi's Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), the new Q5 delivers efficiency and performance through partially electrified petrol engines, featuring Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology. Prices at time of writing start at S$347,999 for the Q5, S$380,999 for the Q5 Sportback, and S$460,999 for the SQ5, including COE.

The Audi Q5 features taut, athletic proportions, with a high shoulder line connecting the front and rear, sculpted headlights, and a wide Singleframe grille. The Q5 Sportback emphasizes coupé-like elegance with a sweeping roofline and sculpted lines that suggest motion even at a standstill.

Lighting technology continues to impress with Matrix LED headlights and second-generation OLED rear lights with up to 266 segments. Optional digital OLED rearlights can communicate with surrounding traffic, enhancing both style and safety.

Three exterior trims—Advanced, S line, and S model—offer a variety of visual styles, with 11 paint options, including exclusive colors for S line and S model variants. Alloy wheels range from 19 inches up to 21-inch S-design forged wheels for the SQ5.

The Q5's cabin is also a showcase of design and technology. Featuring Audi's "Digital Stage" with the 11.9-inch Virtual Cockpit and 14.5-inch MMI touch display, the interior balances digital functionality with a warm, material-driven design. Soft wrap elements, Kaskade textiles, and Dinamica surfaces create a premium, homely feel while supporting sustainability. Ambient and dynamic interaction lighting highlights the interior both day and night, enhancing usability and style.

Powered by Android Automotive OS, the Q5's infotainment system stays up-to-date via over-the-air updates. Audi Connect services, third-party apps, and premium audio options like the Bang & Olufsen 16-speaker system with Vehicle Noise Compensation provide a rich and immersive in-car experience. The head-up display allows drivers to control key functions, view navigation, and manage media without distraction.

Practicality remains one of the Q5's defining traits. The rear seats are fully adjustable, allowing passengers to prioritize comfort or expand the boot space.
