2025 Audi Q5 and SQ5: Higher prices, more equipment for new mid-size luxury SUV
Audi Australia has released pricing and specifications for its third-generation Q5 mid-size SUV range, including the new SQ5 performance flagship, ahead of its arrival in local showrooms "in the coming weeks". Now available to order, the 2025 Audi Q5 lineup starts at $81,000 before on-road costs – an increase of $7600 over the outgoing entry-level Q5 – and the six-cylinder SQ5 is priced from $106,400 plus on-roads in 'edition one' form, which is down from $119,084 before on-roads for the previous SQ5. However, the regular SQ5 will cost $122,400 plus on-roads, marking a rise of just over $3000. The existing Q5 is Audi Australia's best-selling model so far this year, with sales up 19.7 per cent on the first half of 2024. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Diesel and all-wheel drive 'quattro' versions make up the five model grades of the third-generation Q5 and SQ5 landing in showrooms next month. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version is expected to arrive in Australia in 2026, although this has not officially been confirmed since two PHEV variants were shown overseas. The lineup starts with the Q5 TFSI powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 150kW of power and 340Nm of torque, matched as standard with a seven-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. It comes with a 0-100km/h claim of 8.6 seconds and combined fuel economy of 5.7L/100km. Standard equipment includes 19-inch alloy wheels, LED Matrix headlights, artificial leather upholstery, aluminium inlays as well as climate control and an eight-speaker 160W stereo. The cabin also includes a 14.5-inch OLED centre touchscreen with built-in sat-nav, voice commands and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, plus an electronic tailgate. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, speed sign recognition, while automatic parking and a 360-degree camera are also standard on every Q5/SQ5. The turbo-diesel models are next, with the Q5 TDI quattro and the Q5 TDI quattro Sport priced at $87,600 and $94,100 before on-road costs respectively. Both use the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel offering 150kW/400Nm, teamed with a seven-speed automatic and quattro all-wheel drive. They also share the same 7.4-second 0-100km/h claim and 5.4L/100km combined fuel consumption figure. Equipment levels match the entry-level Q5 TFSI, but the Q5 TDI quattro Sport adds larger 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, and sports seats with 'S' logos embossed, plus an interior treatment featuring brushed aluminium inlays. The SQ5 is offered in an 'edition one' grade for $106,400 and in regular guise for $122,400, both before on-road costs. Both are powered by a 3.0-litre mild-hybrid V6 petrol engine producing 270kW/550Nm, and combine a seven-speed automatic with quattro all-wheel drive. The SQ5 has an official 0-100km/h time of 4.5 seconds and combined fuel consumption of 7.6L/100km. On top of the Q5's standard equipment, the SQ5 edition one adds black 20-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, black mirror caps, with brushed aluminium inlays inside the cabin. The standard SQ5 runs 21-inch alloy wheels – with three designs to choose from at no additional cost – and all exterior paint colours are no-cost options apart from Sakhir gold metallic, which is priced at a lower $1300. For every other Q5 and S5, Arkona White is standard at no additional cost, with all other colours costing $2000 on top, apart from Sakhir gold which is priced at $3300. The SQ5 also has a 16-speaker Bang and Olufsen stereo with a 16-channel subwoofer, amplifier and total output of 685W, as well as faster-charging USB ports, with a pair of 60W outlets up front and two 100W ports in the rear.

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, speed sign recognition, while automatic parking and a 360-degree camera are also standard on every Q5/SQ5. The turbo-diesel models are next, with the Q5 TDI quattro and the Q5 TDI quattro Sport priced at $87,600 and $94,100 before on-road costs respectively. Both use the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel offering 150kW/400Nm, teamed with a seven-speed automatic and quattro all-wheel drive. They also share the same 7.4-second 0-100km/h claim and 5.4L/100km combined fuel consumption figure. Equipment levels match the entry-level Q5 TFSI, but the Q5 TDI quattro Sport adds larger 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, and sports seats with 'S' logos embossed, plus an interior treatment featuring brushed aluminium inlays. The SQ5 is offered in an 'edition one' grade for $106,400 and in regular guise for $122,400, both before on-road costs. Both are powered by a 3.0-litre mild-hybrid V6 petrol engine producing 270kW/550Nm, and combine a seven-speed automatic with quattro all-wheel drive. The SQ5 has an official 0-100km/h time of 4.5 seconds and combined fuel consumption of 7.6L/100km. On top of the Q5's standard equipment, the SQ5 edition one adds black 20-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, black mirror caps, with brushed aluminium inlays inside the cabin. The standard SQ5 runs 21-inch alloy wheels – with three designs to choose from at no additional cost – and all exterior paint colours are no-cost options apart from Sakhir gold metallic, which is priced at a lower $1300. For every other Q5 and S5, Arkona White is standard at no additional cost, with all other colours costing $2000 on top, apart from Sakhir gold which is priced at $3300. The SQ5 also has a 16-speaker Bang and Olufsen stereo with a 16-channel subwoofer, amplifier and total output of 685W, as well as faster-charging USB ports, with a pair of 60W outlets up front and two 100W ports in the rear.

2025 Audi Q5 and S5: Higher prices, more equipment for new mid-size luxury SUV
Audi Australia has released pricing and specifications for its third-generation Q5 mid-size SUV range, including the new SQ5 performance flagship, ahead of its arrival in local showrooms 'in the coming weeks'. Now available to order, the 2025 Audi Q5 lineup starts at $81,000 before on-road costs – an increase of $7600 over the outgoing entry-level Q5 – and the six-cylinder SQ5 is priced from $106,400 plus on-roads in 'edition one' form, which is down from $119,084 before on-roads for the previous SQ5. However, the regular SQ5 will cost $122,400 plus on-roads, marking a rise of just over $3000. The existing Q5 is Audi Australia's best-selling model so far this year, with sales up 19.7 per cent on the first half of 2024. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Diesel and all-wheel drive 'quattro' versions make up the five model grades of the third-generation Q5 and SQ5 landing in showrooms next month. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version is expected to arrive in Australia in 2026, although this has not officially been confirmed since two PHEV variants were shown overseas. The lineup starts with the Q5 TFSI powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 150kW of power and 340Nm of torque, matched as standard with a seven-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. It comes with a 0-100km/h claim of 8.6 seconds and combined fuel economy of 5.7L/100km. Standard equipment includes 19-inch alloy wheels, LED Matrix headlights, artificial leather upholstery, aluminium inlays as well as climate control and an eight-speaker 160W stereo. The cabin also includes a 14.5-inch OLED centre touchscreen with built-in sat-nav, voice commands and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, plus an electronic tailgate.

I Drove the All-New 2025 Audi Q5 & SQ5 in Colorado. Here's My Brutally Honest Review
15 years and counting For more than 15 years, the Q5 has been the bread-and-butter SUV for Audi, the one you see everywhere for a good reason: it's just plain good. It's the sensible, stylish, all-wheel-drive choice for people who want a premium ride without a lot of fuss. But with the all-new 2025 model, it looks like 'sensible' has hit the gym and gotten a new tech-savvy wardrobe. 2025 Audi Q5 — Source: Kyle Edward The 2025 Q5 just got smarter and a bit punchier Let's start with the standard Q5. The big news is that it's built on a whole new platform, the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture, which is a fancy way of saying the underlying structure is entirely new. Under the hood, the 2.0L four-cylinder engine gets a nice little bump in power, now making a healthy 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. That's enough to get this SUV from 0-60 mph in an estimated 5.8 seconds, which is more than quick enough to handle any real-world merge or pass with ease. Source: Kyle Edward But the power isn't the most interesting part. The real upgrade is the suspension. While a steel spring setup is standard, it now includes something called Frequency Selective Damping (FSD). Think of it as a clever mechanical system that can tell the difference between a sharp, nasty pothole and the smooth, heavy lean of a fast corner. It automatically softens up for comfort on choppy roads but stays firm and connected when you're hustling. 2025 Audi SQ5 — Source: Kyle Edward The SQ5 has attitude Okay, so the standard Q5 is impressively competent. But what if 'competent' isn't quite what you're looking for? Enter the SQ5. This is where the fun really starts. The SQ5 takes the new Q5 platform and dials everything up. The 3.0L turbocharged V6 now churns out a potent 362 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. That mountain of torque, managed by a quick-shifting 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and launches the SQ5 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds.

It means you can have a comfortable, quiet cruiser for the highway commute and, with the press of a button in Audi Drive Select, a taut, responsive machine that feels very agile for its size. It's two personalities in one chassis, backed by bigger front brakes to slow it all down and those iconic quad tailpipes to announce its intentions. Welcome to the 'Digital Stage' Inside is where both models take their biggest leap forward. Audi calls the new dashboard concept the 'Digital Stage,' and it's dominated by a freestanding panoramic display that's curved toward the driver. It combines the 11.9-inch virtual cockpit and the 14.5-inch MMI touch display into a single seamless piece of OLED technology. It's the kind of thing that wows you in the showroom and, because it runs on a new Android Automotive OS, actually works brilliantly in the real world. Source: Kyle Edward The tech doesn't stop there. A new 'dynamic interaction light' is a light bar that spans the dashboard, providing subtle cues for things such as turn signals or welcome animations. It's a bit of a gimmick, sure, but a cool one. The interior itself feels more spacious, and practical touches, such as a sliding rear seat that can prioritize either legroom or cargo space, make a real difference. While the Q5 is comfortable and premium, the SQ5 elevates the experience with a blend of leather and a suede-like Dinamica that feels truly special. Source: Kyle Edward Final take Ultimately, the 2025 Audi Q5 is a brilliant evolution of a vehicle that already knew its mission. It leans into its role as the intelligent, sophisticated heart of the premium SUV market by pairing a comfortable and confident ride with a truly cutting-edge interior. Built on the all-new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture, it does everything you could ask of a daily driver, but with more style and significantly more advanced technology. With a capable 268-horsepower 2.0L base engine and a starting MSRP of $52,200, it represents a smart, comprehensive, and tech-forward update to an already proven winner. The 2025 Audi SQ5, however, is a different beast entirely, delivering a far more dynamic and emotional driving experience. The real magic comes from the combination of the powerful 362-horsepower 3.0L V6 and the standard sport adaptive air suspension. This pairing creates a no-compromise machine that is equally happy cruising in comfort or attacking a winding road. At a starting price of $64,800, it offers a compelling dual personality.
