All-New 2026 Audi Q5: Sophisticated Design, Refined Power, and Next-Level Technology

The all-new 2026 Audi Q5 is here, and it's worth the wait. Now in its third generation, this redesign offers enhanced powertrains, cutting-edge technology, and a more sophisticated design language that elevates every drive.

For years, the Q5 has set the standards in the luxury compact SUV segment, perfectly balancing performance, versatility, and Audi’s signature refinement. Now, with these updates, the bar has been raised even higher.

At Audi Livermore, we're counting down the days until the 2026 Q5 arrives in our showroom. In the meantime, we want to give you an early look at what makes this model so exceptional. Here's everything you need to know about the redesigned 2026 Audi Q5.

Redesigned With Sophisticated Style From Every Angle

The exterior of the 2026 Q5 makes a bold first impression with a commanding new design. Available in two distinct body styles—the traditional SUV and the sleeker Sportback with a coupe-like silhouette—there's a Q5 to match your aesthetic. The front end is anchored by a wider Singleframe grille, while cutting-edge LED headlights and sculpted proportions create a head-turning profile that balances utility with style. Your wheel options range from standard 18-inch alloys to available 19- and 20-inch designs, all wrapped in all-season tires for year-round confidence.

Step inside, and you'll discover a cabin that embodies luxury and refinement. Premium materials, Audi’s signature craftsmanship, and enhanced ergonomics come together to create an interior that is both quiet and comfortable, making every drive a first-class experience.

You’ll find supple leather upholstery across the lineup, with heated front seats standard on every model. Upgrade to the Prestige trim, and you'll enjoy ventilated front seats plus heated rear outboard seats, ensuring everyone rides in comfort, no matter the season.

Cutting-Edge Technology: Smart Features and Connectivity

The 2026 Q5 introduces a next-generation MMI infotainment system that's faster, smarter, and more intuitive than ever. With larger, crystal-clear touchscreens and enhanced voice controls, it has never been easier to stay connected and in control. Features include:

• Digital Instrument Cluster: An 11.9-inch display with redesigned graphics that puts critical information right in your sightline.
• Infotainment Touchscreen: A large 14.5-inch center display delivers intuitive control, with an available 10.9-inch passenger screen for added convenience.
• Seamless Connectivity: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Bluetooth pairing, keep your devices effortlessly connected.

• Enhanced Voice Control: Built-in Amazon Alexa and upgraded voice recognition let you control functions, check the weather, and manage smart home devices—all hands-free.
