Introduction
The 2025 Audi Q5 remains one of the brand’s bestselling vehicles, nearly outselling its second and third most popular models combined. Despite being one of the oldest products in Audi’s lineup, the Q5 continues to captivate buyers with its new option packages and robust array of features.
Powertrains and Trim Levels
The 2025 Q5 lineup offers a variety of powertrains to suit different needs. The basic Q5 comes with three versions of a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.

The Q5 55, a plug-in hybrid, combines the four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and a 17.9-kilowatt-hour battery, producing a total of 362 hp and 369 pounds-feet of torque, with an electric range of 23 miles. The SQ5 features a 349-hp, turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 good for 369 pounds-feet. Both the Q5 and SQ5 come standard with all-wheel drive, paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission for the Q5 and an eight-speed automatic for the SQ5.

For 2025, Audi has added keyless entry to all Q5 variants, keyless starting for the Q5 40, and red brake calipers for the SQ5 and SQ5 Sportback.
