Introducing the new Audi Q5
If you're looking for a premium SUV that feels secure in bad weather and stays comfortable on longer drives, the new Audi Q5 fits the job nicely. It pairs a raised driving position with quattro all-wheel drive, so you get extra grip when pulling away on wet roads, and more stability when the surface changes quickly (like painted roundabouts, muddy car parks, or steep driveways).
This latest Q5 also feels more up to date from the driver's seat, thanks to a new digital cockpit layout and an integrated app store, so you can add compatible apps directly to the car. If you do a lot of night driving, Matrix LED headlights are another big win: they adapt their beam pattern around other road users, helping you see more of the road without dazzling oncoming traffic.
When you're ready, you can book a test drive with Vertu.

New Audi Q5 FAQs
Is the new Audi Q5 easy to park in tight spaces?
Yes, parking sensors help you judge distance without guesswork, while camera support (often including a surround-view option on higher specs) makes it easier to line up in bays and avoid low-speed bumps. The higher driving position also helps when you're threading into tight supermarket spaces.
What warranty cover should I expect on a new Audi Q5?
A new Audi Q5 comes with Audi's manufacturer warranty cover (UK) for three years, with a 60,000-mile limit applying by the end of year three. We'll confirm what's included for the exact Q5 you're looking at when you enquire.
Are the tech features of the new Audi Q5 easy to use?
They are, especially once you set things up. The digital cockpit keeps key driving info clear in your eyeline, the central screen puts navigation and media in one place, and the integrated app store gives you another option if you prefer built-in apps instead of setting up your phone every time.
Which new Audi Q5 trim should I choose?
Sport suits most customers who want a strong everyday kit without pushing the price up for styling extras. S line is a great step up if you like a sportier look and a slightly firmer feel. If Matrix LED headlights are a must-have, Edition 1 is usually the easiest place to start.
What insurance group is the new Audi Q5 in?
Insurance group varies by engine, trim, and equipment. As a guide, premium SUVs like the Q5 often sit in higher groups, and higher-spec trims can increase that further. It's worth getting a quote for the exact version you're considering.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new Audi Q5?
If you like predictable monthly costs, a fixed plan can make sense. Flexible plans can suit you if your mileage changes and you'd rather pay as you go. Either way, the right schedule helps protect resale value, and you can book support through Audi servicing.
