A new lineup of Audi’s most popular and globally best-selling Q5 SUV reaches Singapore’s shores, combining expressive styling with everyday usability and comfort
Singapore – On 26th November, at Geneo Mall, Singapore Science Park, Audi Singapore launched the all-new Q5, Q5 Sportback and SQ5. With sculpted proportions in a dynamic coupe styling, the Q5 is the first SUV to debut on Audi’s Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), looking to set new benchmarks in efficiency, comfort, and dynamic performance. Also equipped with Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) plus technology, the SUV delivers advanced safety features alongside comfort and convenience on and off the road.
Audi Q5 – Vibrantly Versatile
This third generation of the Audi Q5 looks to reaffirm its place as a sporty all-rounder. By embodying progressive design and advanced technology with everyday versatility, it aims to be a confident companion for Singapore’s lifestyles.
High shoulder lines create a powerful silhouette, connect the front and rear lights, and make the vehicle appear longer. Filed and sculpturally shaped headlights create a sharp, focused look, while a large air intake with sensors sits under the Singleframe, giving a wider and more confident stance on the road. The rear boasts a clear design thanks to maximum reduction of lines, keeping looks sleek and elegant.
Practicality remains a defining strength for the Q5, offering a fully readjustable rear seat that can be moved lengthways and tilted, increasing trunk volume or comfort for rear passengers as required. With the rear seats folded down, transport volume increases up to 1,473 litres depending on the model variant. Other practical features include larger storage under the centre armrest, smaller storage areas for everyday items, a wireless charging tray, and USB-C ports dotted throughout the car can even support charging larger devices such as laptops.
Audi Q5 Sportback – Aesthetic Ace
This sporty coupe derivative delivers the spacious and utilitarian benefits of an SUV wrapped in a sleek, coupe-like roofline and athletic stance.
The exterior boasts larger front air intakes and a sportier rear diffuser. The Singleframe is surrounded by a chrome-look frame, with large L-wing shaped side aero tubes to accentuate sportier ambitions. Second-generation digital OLED rear lights and new projection light in the spoiler above the rear window also enhance safety.
The interior of the Q5 Sportback is tailored to the needs of its occupants and epitomises the new Audi design philosophy. A high-contrast design purposefully places elements in the foreground or background, creating a 3D-spatial architecture that blends aesthetics with ergonomics. The “Softwrap” extends from the doors through the cockpit to the centre console, creating a homogenous and welcoming sense of space. Cascade upholstery and Dinamica microfiber are primarily made from recycled polyester, demonstrating Audi’s commitment to sustainability and efficiency in the Q5 Sportback.
The Audi Q5 will be available with a 2.0 litre, 4-cylinder TFSI engine, delivering 204hp and 340Nm of torque, with front-wheel drive or quattro all-wheel drive configurations, enabling drivers to complete the century sprint in 8.6 seconds and 7.2 seconds respectively.
The go-faster SQ5 is armed with a 3.0 litre, V6 TFSI engine that delivers 367hp and 550Nm of torque to complete the century sprint in 4.5 seconds.
Martin Bayer, Managing Director of Audi Singapore, said, “The Q5 has been the best-selling SUV model in Audi’s product line-up globally since its introduction in 2008, and this latest generation elevates the model to new heights. With its advanced technology, dynamic design, and versatile performance, it is perfectly suited to the needs of Singapore drivers. Whether for daily commutes or weekend adventures, the new Q5 embodies the true spirit of a sporty all-rounder and continues the success story of the Q5 in Singapore.”
At the time of release, the Audi Q5 and Q5 Sportback retail at prices starting from S$347,999 and S$380,999, respectively, including COE. The SQ5 and SQ5 Sportback retail at prices starting from S$460,999 and $470,999 respectively, including COE.
