Audi is preparing for the premiere of the new A5 and Q5. Crossover caught during road tests

The premiere of the next A5 will take place in a few days, and fans of the model will have to wait until the coming fall for the debut of the new Q5.

The Audi brand continues to prepare for the imminent premiere of several new products. According to the strategy of the German brand, during 2024-2025 the manufacturer will present over 20 new models, and more than half of them will be fully electric. At the same time, new products with internal combustion engines are currently being prepared for the premiere. Thus, next week the brand will declassify the A5 family.

Teaser of the new Audi A5

It is known that the premiere of the Audi A5 will take place on July 16. So far, the company has decided to whet the interest of fans of the model with the help of one teaser of the future new product. Apparently, it partially depicts the station wagon of the future new family. So, the picture shows a tailgate with a spoiler, as well as horizontally elongated lights with an unusual pattern, connected by a luminous strip that runs across the entire width of the stern. Above you can see the darkened brand logo.

Audi CEO Gernot Dellner also announced the imminent appearance of the third generation Q5: according to him, the premiere of the new product will take place this fall. He noted that the debut of the next “five” will kick-start the renewal of the SUV line with internal combustion engines and electrified versions of these models.

In the photo: prototype of the new generation Audi Q5

Let us remind you that the Audi Q5 appeared in the range of the German brand in 2008. The crossover changed generation in 2016, and in 2020, the current “Ku fifth” underwent restyling. Now the company is in the final stages of developing the third generation model: for now, the prototype of the new product continues to undergo road tests. Photo spies caught a camouflaged car in the southern part of Europe, and this time the interior was partially captured in the lens.

Colleagues from the Spanish publication Motor.es shared with us a fresh batch of photos of the prototype of the new Audi Q5. Judging by the photo, the interior of the crossover will be decorated in the same corporate style as other recently presented models of the brand. In front of the driver is a dual display that combines a virtual instrument panel and a fairly large touchscreen of the infotainment system. The front panel is designed in a similar way, for example, on the Audi Q6 e-tron, which debuted in March of this year and recently reached European dealers.

The new generation crossover is expected to receive the most modern version of the multimedia system, as well as release the latest version of Audi's infotainment system and, most likely, an expanded list of electronic driver assistants.

According to preliminary data, there will be no surprises in the engine lineup. It is assumed that the new Audi Q5 will be available with a variety of petrol and diesel engine options, and it will also have versions with “varying degrees of electrification” — with MHEV and PHEV installations. It is expected that the latter will have a maximum range of more than 100 km when driving on electric power alone.
