Audi Q5 (2025-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Sharp styling	Expensive to buy
Practical interior with lots of space	Complex infotainment system
Polished driving experience	Average warranty coverage

Quick Summary

The Audi Q5 (2025-present) is a premium family SUV, known for its upmarket image, sharp styling, and practical interior. This third-generation model offers increased interior space due to a longer wheelbase, accommodating taller passengers comfortably. Available as a standard SUV or a coupe-like Sportback, it does not offer a seven-seater option or a fully electric variant. Engine choices include a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol or 2.0-litre TDI diesel, both with mild-hybrid technology and all-wheel drive, plus a plug-in hybrid e-hybrid with a 60-mile electric range.

The Q5 delivers a polished and satisfying driving experience, particularly with optional air suspension, offering a comfortable ride and well-controlled noise levels for motorway cruising. While the interior boasts a slick, hi-tech affair with quality graphics, the infotainment system can be complex to navigate, requiring drivers to take their eyes off the road for basic functions. Running costs are mitigated by good residual values and respectable fuel economy (37-40mpg petrol, 44-47mpg diesel), though the initial purchase price is high and it incurs luxury car tax.

Best for: Buyers seeking a premium, stylish, and practical family SUV with a refined driving experience, good residual values, and advanced mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid technology.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers due to its high purchase price and luxury car tax, those who prefer simpler, less distracting infotainment controls, or those needing a seven-seater vehicle.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Q5 if: You're seeking a premium, stylish, and practical family SUV with a refined driving experience, good residual values, and advanced mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid technology.

Competitive Position: The Audi Q5 (2025-present) maintains its strong position as a desirable premium family SUV. While it faces new competition from more affordable, feature-rich Chinese SUVs, its established reputation for sharp styling, practical interior, polished driving dynamics, and strong residual values ensures it remains a compelling choice. Despite a complex infotainment system and high entry price, the Q5 offers a well-rounded and sophisticated package for those prioritising quality and refinement in the competitive SUV market.
