The new Audi Q5 has gone on sale in the UK, bringing with it the option of petrol and diesel engines – while a plug-in hybrid model is in the works too.
Priced from £49,950 for the petrol-powered Q5 TFSI and £51,600 for the diesel-driven Q5 TDI, the standard Q5 models are joined by a range-topping SQ5 which receives a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine and starts from £74,400.
Underpinned by Audi’s new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), the new Q5 is now in its third generation, bringing with it a sharper new look with highlights including a redesigned grille, sharper headlights and a number of silver-coloured contrast elements.
Inside, the new Q5 features an 11.9-inch version of Audi’s well-known ‘Digital Cockpit’ display ahead of the driver and a 14.5 central infotainment screen. A suite of driver assistance features are also equipped as standard, too, including Emergency Brake Assist, Intersection Cross Traffic Assist and Swerve Assist.
The Edition 1, meanwhile, takes the standard S Line specification and adds in larger 21-inch Audi Sport wheels and red brake calipers, Matrix LED headlights and and a full black styling pack.
