Generations

The Audi Q5 was originally released in 2008 as a mid-size SUV in the lineup and has become a popular option among executives and families alike. A second generation was introduced in 2016, bringing with it some styling updates to keep the model relatable. Yet it remains subtle and desirable in the ever-crowded used luxury SUV market.

Second Generation (2016-present)

Originally offered with a variety of trim levels, the Q5 is luxurious and well-equipped. The exterior design wasn't flashy or head-turning, but it remained classy. Inside the cabin is where the SUV stood out, with high-quality materials and comfortable seating.

In 2020, a vital design update occurred to keep up with updated emission standards and to increase the safety of the vehicle. During this refresh, the exterior was also revamped, giving it a new single-frame front grille with chromed bars for Advance models and an S-Line honeycomb pattern that set it apart. Audi also provided optional OLED taillights for more style. A new interior look included an updated dashboard and a fresh Multi-Media Interface (MMI) for easier use.

First Generation (2008-2015)

The brand-new SUV from Audi was modelled from the larger Q7, with some A4 mechanics thrown into the mix. With the same wheelbase and engine from the A4, additional ground clearance was added to give it a higher stature. Standard equipment was more than some other competitors offered, with a 10-speaker sound system, tri-zone automatic climate control and eight-way power front seats.

By 2012, the Q5 was due for a facelift, improving on the engine compartment, cabin and exterior design. The headlight styling was changed, and a flat-bottom steering wheel was introduced to the driver. The Q5 also included some powertrain options, allowing drivers to choose the performance that best suited their drives.
