For instance, it took a while for the X3 to respond when the Q5 finally rolled out in 2008, four years after the BMW debuted. Still, it's better late than never, as the Q5 has been Audi's best-selling model worldwide since 2015.The all-new model was introduced in 2024 for the 2025 model year. It rides on Audi's new architecture, called PPC (Premium Platform Combustion). Surprisingly, it was given a 2026 update, but it's more about an enhanced user experience than a major facelift.2026 Audi Q5Audi2026 Audi Q5 Lease Deals for JuneAt the moment, Audi doesn't have national offers for the Q5, although we did see a couple of solid lease deals when we entered some ZIP codes.

The three trims on offer are the Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige, just like all the other U.S-market Audi models. Of course, there's also the SQ5, although that's a more special model that delivers more performance and comes with a higher price tag. $64,500, to be exact.Updates to the 2026 Q5 include more physical controls on the steering wheel. Also given a refresh was the infotainment system, which Audi claims has a simpler and easier-to-use interface, along with tweaks to the voice command system. All trims are equipped with Quattro all-wheel drive, basic advanced driver assists, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and tri-zone climate control. The Audi Signature Care scheduled maintenance plan is also included in every lease or purchase of the vehicle.Powering all trims of the 2026 Q5 is a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine producing 268 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Those who prefer V6 power will have to go for the S Q5, with its 362 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. If that's still not enough, an RS Q5 is coming soon.AudiFinal ThoughtsThe changes made for the 2026 Q5 are indeed welcome, and they show that Audi is listening to its customers who voiced complaints about the interior's user experience. With that, it's now more enjoyable and agreeable to own, and owners are then rewarded by this crossover's excellent ride-and-handling balance, as well as its practicality and the reassurance of Quattro all-wheel-drive grip. While the X3 and GLC remain ahead in sales, we say the Q5 deserves more attention.AudiDisclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
