The second-generation 2026 Audi Q5 is a luxurious compact SUV that balances style, performance, and technology. Its array of engine options include a standard 261-hp turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder and a 362-hp plug-in hybrid variant, all partnered with a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission. All-wheel drive, or Quattro, remains standard on all trims — Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. Infotainment is spearheaded by a 10.1" touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto inclusion. Q5 also features Audi's Virtual Cockpit, a digital instrument cluster with high-resolution display. Recognized safety features include Audi's pre sense city, lane departure warning, and optional adaptive cruise control. For 2026, some of the notable model-year changes are expanded standard equipment in base models, and added sport Plus packages.
