2025 Audi Q5 Plug-in Hybrid

Audi has redesigned its Q5 small SUV for 2025. This new third-generation Q5 has updated styling and new technology features. But somewhat confusingly for shoppers, the older second-generation Q5 remains on sale as well. That means you'll have to figure out whether you're getting the old Q5 or the redesigned one when you're buying a 2025 Audi Q5. Audi is calling the new Q5 the "All-new Q5."

Though it's a 7-year-old design, the second-generation Audi Q5 remains competitive in its segment. It doesn't have a fancy giant touchscreen like many of its newer rivals, but it remains nearly as technologically advanced as other compact SUVs. The comfortable interior exudes quality, and the Q5 is roomier inside than expected. While the new third-generation Q5 doesn't stray far from the current model's successful recipe, it leaps forward technologically, and Audi wraps it in more expressive design and detailing. Read our new Q5 First Drive article for more information. It's a better Q5 in most ways, but the old Q5 still has appeal, especially if you're looking to get the best deal on dealer lots in 2025.

We do recommend exploring some of this Audi's competitors. Our three favorites in the small luxury SUV segment are the value-rich Acura RDX, the elegant Genesis GV70 and the sophisticated Mercedes-Benz GLC. BMW has a redesigned X3 on sale too, and while its styling represents an acquired taste, the powertrains and touchscreen interface are more advanced than what you'll find in the Audi.

The 2025 Audi Q5 is a small luxury SUV. Audi is selling both the second-generation Q5 and a new third-generation Q5, both of which have a 2025 model year designation. Each one comes in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels. You'll need to do some investigation to confirm which generation you are considering a purchase of.
