2025 Audi Q5 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The second-generation Audi Q5 is a small luxury SUV sold in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels. It comes in standard and Sportback body styles, the latter equipped with a faster roofline for a sportier appearance (it's reviewed separately).

Three drivetrains are available for this Q5, each with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system. They include the Q5 40 TFSI (201 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque), the Q5 45 TFSI (261 hp and 273 lb-ft), and the Q5 55 TFSI e plug-in hybrid (362 hp and 369 lb-ft). The Q5 plug-in hybrid provides 23 miles of electric range and the quickest acceleration while matching the maximum fuel economy rating for other Q5s.

The third-generation Q5 goes on sale in spring 2025. We will update this section with its list of standard and optional equipment as Audi releases that information.

Highlights from the standard equipment lists for the second-generation Q5 follow below:

Premium

  • Sporty S line styling (except 40 TFSI)
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

The Prestige trim adds exclusive upgrades, making it the most luxurious version with:

  • Warm Weather package contents

  • Dual-pane acoustic front window glass for a quieter ride
  • Heated rear seats
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)

The Black Optic package is available for the 40 TFSI Premium Plus and Prestige as a stand-alone option. The Premium Plus and Prestige equipped with the 45 TFSI or 55 TFSI e drivetrain are available with a Black Optic Plus package. It installs:

  • Exclusive 20- or 21-inch wheels
  • Red brake calipers
  • Black exterior trim
  • Black roof rails
  • Aluminum interior trim
  • Perforated leather wrapped around the steering wheel
  • Black headliner

You can also get a Sport Plus package with any Q5 55 TFSI e in the Premium Plus or Prestige trim level. It equips the SUV with:

  • 20-inch platinum-finish wheels with summer performance tires
  • Adaptive air suspension
  • Upgraded OLED taillights
  • Aluminum interior trim
  • Leather upholstery with synthetic suede inserts (deletes ventilated front seats)

Which Q5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the Q5 45 TFSI Premium Plus for the best combination of equipment, performance and value. This version offers quicker acceleration courtesy of the uprated engine, while the Premium Plus model adds desirable features and opens the door to a wider range of options.
