In an official announcement, Audi has confirmed that it will be launching the new Q5 in India on 23 November 2021. Nearly a month ago, the brand started assembling the SUV at its Aurangabad plant in Maharashtra, followed by the commencement of the bookings.
This facelift brings a new front and rear end to the Q5, which includes a redesigned grille, headlights, bumpers and taillights. It also gets new alloy wheels. Besides, the automaker will offer a choice of two variants: Premium Plus and Technology.
Inside, the Q5 continues to get the fully-digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, a wireless charging pad, a Bang and Olufsen sound system and eight airbags.
This new Q5 will be available exclusively with a single powertrain choice, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol mated to a seven-speed automatic unit. With an all-wheel-drive system, this engine will generate 249bhp and 370Nm of torque. Meanwhile, Audi’s new Q5 will compete against the BMW X3, Lexus NX, Land Rover Discovery, Mercedes-Benz GLC and the recently arrived Volvo XC60.
