Q5 [Spy Shots] 2024 Audi Q5 spied for the first time!

[bmwz4coupe]

Is this a completely new model or a strong facelift?

 

[SCOTT27]

The Audi stand @ Paris must be huge this year with the Q6/A5/A6 and surely Q5 and The A7.

 

[Gor134]

Brand new PPC platform and yes exhausts are real now

When is the A7 coming out?

New A7 for Paris Auto Show? You sure?

 

[Merc1]

I actually like that. It’s a little busy but it’s bold too. So far I like.

The Germans know not to mess up the crossovers.. none of them in the segment look bad.

I do think the new X3 looks the best in M Sport, but this Q5 is a close follow up.

 

[empower77]

Looks like it’s a little longer than the B9. Anyone have dimensions?

 

[empower77]

I think all of them look really good, even the C and D segment cars. Yes the X7 front is a little fussy but it’s a good looking truck. The X3 is the boldest of the B segment crossovers. I’m really looking forward to seeing these two once they come to dealerships..

[Mr. Mercedes]

The gentrification of the Q5's unique character.

It's attractive though. I'll probably hate the interior.

They’re going to a DCT for these models for our market. Interesting move.

It indeed is.. this means that the DCT is now a more robust transmission for more HP torquier engines…

Separately for all the techie folks on here, what’s the diff between the DCT and Porsche’s transmission?

Not really new, the DCT has been in the A6/A7 since the C8 generation. But very weird that it doesn't have the mild hybrid for the US market, though I have read rumors that it's because of issues involving the belt-starter generator recall on existing models eating up all production supply.

I agree. German manufacturer design teams as of late appear to be far more adept regarding SUVs and sport activity crossovers versus sedans/estates. I also cannot think of an SUV/SAC from a German manufacturer that actually looks "bad". And a good number of them look very good IMHO (i.e. Porsche Macan E, BMW X3, VW Tiguan, M-B GLC and this new Audi Q5).

 

[fan_of_642]

Oh, a nice car. Rare for german manufacturers these days.
Only the inlay of the grille cries "Axor", digger and "workzone"....

For the Q5 in the US market the transmission change is new. The base and S models had a regular 8sp auto.

That's interesting. In SA - and I presume EU, UK - only dual clutch (S-tronic) transmissions were available following the last facelift.

RIP gloss black fetish. The cabin is almost entirely wrapped in soft touch materials, including the centre console.

A stark contrast against other audi cabins

AlI I see is black (and screens). But I'll take your word for it.

As for the car......front is horrible, side is nice and the rear is generic but ok.
Interior looks f' ing horrible. Looks like it's still in testing phase with laptops attached for data collection.
