Audi Q5 Set to Make Its Mark in South Africa, Aiming for Midsize SUV Leadership

The all-new Audi Q5 is set to make a major impact in South Africa’s midsize SUV market when it launches in the fourth quarter of 2025. The third-generation Q5 boasts a range of powerful engine options, including a 150kW 2.0-litre petrol, a 150kW 2.0-litre diesel, and the performance-focused SQ5 with a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine. The V6 delivers an impressive 270kW and 550Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The 2.0 TFSI is front-wheel drive as standard, with quattro available, while the 2.0 TDI and SQ5 models are all-wheel drive.

Audi has equipped the Q5 with striking new lighting technology, including Matrix LED headlamps with customizable light signatures and a bold three-dimensional light strip at the rear. The OLED rear lamps incorporate Car-to-X technology, which allows the vehicle to communicate with its surroundings, warning other road users of traffic situations such as accidents. Dynamic indicators add a finishing touch to the Q5’s modern and stylish exterior.

Inside, the Q5’s cabin offers a luxurious, human-centric design with two expansive screens: an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen. For added luxury, a 10.9-inch front passenger screen is available. Interactive ambient lighting adds an extra layer of personalization to the interior. Audi also offers a range of wheels, including the optional 21-inch tri-colour wheels, which are an extravagant highlight of the range.

Built on Audi’s Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture, the Q5 is the first SUV in the lineup to use this platform, ensuring superior performance and handling. With its combination of advanced technology, powerful engines, and sleek design, the Audi Q5 is ready to dominate the midsize SUV segment in South Africa when it arrives in late 2025.
