The Audi Q5 has been a favourite SUV in Canada for years. It’s known for being practical, refined, and ready for our changing seasons. Now, the all-new 2025 Q5 takes that same spirit and builds on it in meaningful ways. From a new design to smarter tech, the changes are easy to notice. Here’s what sets the new model apart.
A New Shape That Feels More Confident
The previous Q5 looked sharp, but the new one feels more sculpted and mature. Its roofline is lower and flows better into a wider stance. The grille now sits higher and appears more integrated with the body. Headlights are slimmer, with standard LED lighting and optional signature daytime lights that adjust to your drive. You’ll also notice the new LED light strip across the rear, giving it a premium look on snowy streets and dark rural roads.
Cabin Design with More Light and Less Clutter
Inside, the new Q5 takes a clear step forward. The dashboard and screen layout feel cleaner and more intuitive. The new driver-focused cockpit now features a floating 14.5-inch MMI display, paired with an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit. In the older model, the tech was smart, but more button-heavy. The new layout feels like one seamless digital space. An available panoramic glass sunroof fills the already roomy interior with natural light, making it feel even more open.
Performance That Feels More Refined
Both versions offer turbocharged engines, but the new Q5 takes things up a notch. It now delivers up to 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, reaching 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. The 7-speed S tronic transmission makes every gear change feel quick and balanced. And with Audi’s standard quattro all-wheel drive, you get grip when and where you need it.
Smart Features That Work in the Background
With the Audi drive select system, you can adjust how the Q5 behaves. Choose settings for the engine, steering, transmission, and even suspension. The available adaptive air suspension responds automatically to road changes and can adjust the ride height. That’s perfect for tricky driveways or bumpy cottage roads. These changes feel invisible, but they make a big difference.
Technology That’s Finally One Step Ahead
The new Q5 brings a full digital refresh. Standard is the wraparound digital cockpit, combining the 14.5-inch MMI with the 11.9-inch virtual cluster. There’s even an available 10.9-inch passenger display, so everyone up front stays entertained. Audi connect is more integrated, with remote features, smart navigation, and voice tools that adapt to your habits. For audiophiles, the available 685-watt Bang & Olufsen® 3D sound system offers a deep and immersive experience with 16 speakers placed throughout the cabin.
Safety That Makes Driving Simpler
Both versions include excellent safety, but the new Q5 brings even more help. Available adaptive cruise assist can help keep your Q5 centered and manage distance in traffic. Intersection assist uses sensors to detect cross-traffic and can help brake when needed. There’s also available park assist plus, which helps the Q5 steer, brake, and shift during tight parking moves. And if you start drifting from your lane, the system can gently steer you back into place.
