New Audi Q5 Special Edition

About the Audi Q5 range

Slick interior. Drive modes. Co-Pilot 360. To name just a few features.

The Q5 has done the numbers for Audi ever since it came out in 2008, selling in vast quantities pretty much everywhere it’s available. In fact the old one was, says the company, the “world’s best-selling premium mid-size” SUV for some six years, ahead of the BMW X3, Mercedes GLC and the Q5's Porsche Macan cousin.

The current, second-generation Q5 went on sale in the UK in 2017, and had a facelift midway through 2020. In car terms that means it’s officially Old, and rumour has it that a third-gen replacement is being lined up for some time in 2024. So if you want to visit your local dealer and drop the words ‘getting on a bit’ and ‘discount’, now’s the time.

Based on the same ‘MLB’ platform as the A4, A5 and so on, in Audi’s range it sits above the smaller Q3 but under the seven-seat Q7.
