Audi has revealed the all-new 2025 Q5 and its sportier sibling, the SQ5, showcasing a sleek redesign, upgraded tech, and improved performance. Here are six standout features that make these luxury SUVs worth your attention:

1. Sleek New Design Inspired by the Q6 e-tron
 

The 2025 Q5 features a more sculpted, athletic look with a wide octagonal grille, matrix LED headlights, and sharp character lines. It borrows cues from the electric Q6 e-tron, giving it a futuristic yet muscular presence.

2. Fully Digital, Tech-Forward Interior
 

Inside, the Q5 gets a major tech upgrade. The centerpiece is an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster paired with a 14.5-inch touchscreen angled toward the driver. The cabin is minimalistic yet luxurious, with ambient lighting and optional augmented reality head-up display.

3. Mild-Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Options
 

Audi offers a range of powertrains, including 48-volt mild-hybrid TFSI engines and improved plug-in hybrid variants with up to 100 km (62 miles) of electric range—ideal for daily commutes with zero emissions.

4. Performance-Focused SQ5 Packs More Power
 

The new SQ5 is expected to use a turbocharged V6 with improved output, possibly pushing around 370 hp. With sport-tuned suspension and Quattro all-wheel drive, it balances daily drivability with dynamic road manners.

5. Predictive Suspension and Adaptive Damping
 

For a smoother ride, Audi offers optional predictive active suspension that reads the road ahead and adjusts in real time. Adaptive air suspension is also available, letting drivers switch between comfort and sport modes with ease.
