2023 2024 Audi Q5
|
The engines will be re-engineered to meet new Euro 7 emissions regulations, expected to be implemented in the coming years. One of these will be the fifth version of the Volkswagen Group's 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol EA888, which will receive a revamped fuel-injection system and new particulate filters. Show The modified platform also introduces capacity for the Q5 to use the four-wheel steering system featured on the Audi A8 and Audi Q8, as well as level two autonomous driving functions and a raft of new connectivity features.  As with the current Audi Q3, Q4 E-tron, Q5 and E-tron SUVs, the new Q5 is expected to be sold in straight-backed standard and rakish-roofed Sportback guises. Audi will use the new PPE platform – which it's co-developing with Porsche - for new electric versions of the A4 and A6, but given the new Q6 E-tron will essentially serve as an electric alternative to the Q5, the latter is unlikely to get an EV option. Audi has committed to only launching EVs from 2026 and will stop selling ICE cars completely in 2033, meaning the Q5 is likely to be among the final ICE cars the brand sells. However, Audi has also said that it plans to keep an ICE version of the Audi A6 on sale alongside the new electric A6 E-tron, hinting at a gradual shift towards all-out electrification for all models. The Audi Q5 is one of the most popular SUVs in the automaker’s portfolio. Like most cars worldwide, the Q5 will also be transitioned into an EV a few years from now. But, before that, the SUV will go under the knife and come out in a fresh avatar in what would be the last generational update given to the internal combustion-engined Q5. The next-gen Q5, which will be the third generation, has been spotted testing in the Alps, and from what we can decipher, it will get a hefty redesign. The Next-Gen 2024 Audi Q5 Will Be Bolder
The next-gen Audi Q5 has been caught testing in the Alps with some heavy skin on. But, despite that, we can notice that it has been given a new front fascia. You can see an aggressive face that includes sleeker headlights, a single-frame grille, air curtains on either side, and a wide bumper opening at the bottom.
It seems to be a little longer than the current Q5. That’s not just the length, but also the wheelbase. This could result in better legroom and cargo space. For all we know, the extra length is offered to accommodate bigger batteries for its mild- and plug-in hybrid setups without reducing the cargo capacity compared to the current model.
The rear doesn’t look too different for now, but we are pretty sure we’ll see some changes as the SUV nears production. Expect new taillights, a redesigned bumper, and different exhaust tips on the next-gen Q5. New wheel designs will also certainly be a part of the mix. There are no images of the cabin, but an overhaul can be expected. This means the new Q5 could have a fresh cabin layout that includes giant screens, more tech features, new upholstery options, etc. The Engine Options Are Still Unknown The engine options are still a mystery, but they shouldn't change much. The current crop of Q5s is offered with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but in three different states of tune. All the options are mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and a Quattro all-wheel-drive system. In the entry-level tune, it makes 201 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. It takes 6.8 seconds to 60 mph and has a top speed of 130 mph. In the mid-tune, it puts out 261 horses and 273 pound-feet of torque. You get a 12-volt mild-hybrid setup here. It is slightly quicker, taking 5.7 seconds in its sprint to 60 mph, but the top speed remains the same. The most-powerful tune is a plug-in hybrid setup with a 17.9 kWh battery. The engine and the electric motor combined churn out 362 ponies and 369 pound-feet of oomph. It gallops to 60 mph from rest in five seconds flat. The top speed is 130 mph when the internal combustion engine comes into play, and 85 mph in electric-only mode. The 2024 Audi Q5 is expected to debut in 2023 as a 2024 model. The 2022 Audi Q5 starts at $43,300 and tops out at $64,800 before any options. Expect the 2024 Q5 to be a little heavier on the pocket when it arrives. Will Audi Q5 be redesigned in 2023?The Audi Q5 model is set to be replaced next year with an all-new model that will be the firm's last generation mid-size SUV before the brand moves solely to EVs for 2030. The popular Q5 will likely be given a petrol and diesel engine with mild hybrid technology, as well as a plug-in hybrid option.
Is the Audi Q5 due for a redesign?The Audi Q5 is still early on in development, and will likely be unveiled next year, making it a 2024 model year vehicle. Given the updates and new features that will come with this redesign, it's more than likely that the 2024 Audi Q5 will be pricier than the current model's MSRP of $44,495.
Is there a new Audi Q5 coming out in 2022?New Audi Q5: price and release date
It's likely that the new Audi Q5 will be released at the start of 2023, with sales starting towards the second half of the year.
Will there be a new Q5?In fact, conforming to Audi's electrification strategy in Europe, there'll be no next-generation Q5 EV. Instead, the new car will remain on a combustion-engined platform, with an evolution of the brand's current MLB architecture employed for the next model.
