The new Q5 is a subtle cosmetic facelift. Primary changes on the exterior include vertical chrome strips on the grille and redesigned bumpers and headlights. It might also get a new set of alloy wheels. Inside, the car will get a full-colour LCD instrument cluster.

 

The Q5 will come only with a petrol engine as Volkswagen Group have stopped selling diesel-powered cars in India. The Q5 could come with a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine producing 245PS and 370Nm torque. This will come with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 4-wheel drive. Audi could launch the car in November or late October ahead of the festive season to enjoy the positive sales momentum of the festivities. The Audi Q5 will compete with BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE.
