Audi unveiled the latest generation Q5 Sportback just a few months after the third-generation Q5 SUV debuted. The Q5 Sportback, a coupe variation of the Q5 SUV, is built on Audi’s new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) platform, which is the company’s next-generation modular architecture for internal combustion cars. It keeps numerous stylistic characteristics from the Q5 and is available with the same powertrain options.
Audi Q5: Features
The only visible differences between the Q5 Sportback and the ordinary Q5 are the coupe-like roofline, redesigned spoiler, and smaller, more triangular rear quarter glass. All other stylistic characteristics, including the signature Audi grille, LED headlamps, and rear LED taillights with a lightbar, have been kept. The SQ5 model has a few stylistic changes, including larger front air intakes and a new rear diffuser. The interior configuration is identical to the normal Q5, with a wide curved panoramic display that combines a 14.5-inch central touchscreen with an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster. Customers can also opt to add a passenger-side display to their vehicle.
Audi Q5: Powertrain
The basic Q5 Sportback is available with either a 2.0-litre TFSI turbo-petrol (201 bhp, 340 Nm) or a 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine (201 bhp, 340 Nm), whilst the SQ5 Sportback has a 3.0-litre TFSI V6 engine (362 horsepower, 550 Nm). A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is standard. The Q5 receives Audi’s new MHEV Plus 48V mild-hybrid technology, which adds 24 horsepower as standard across the lineup.
The new Q5 Sportback will go on sale in worldwide countries in 2025, yet it is unclear whether Audi will introduce the coupe-SUV to India alongside the third-generation Q5 SUV.
