Audi is working on the next Audi Q5 and now we have a first official teaser image from the German firm, we can safely assume the mid-size SUV\u2019s launch isn\u2019t too far away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As one of Audi\u2019s most popular cars globally, the Q5 is obviously a hugely important car to get right – even with in-house electric alternatives like the Q4 e-tron and upcoming Q6 e-tron no doubt looking for share in the same SUV market.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve caught the Q5 testing numerous times before with a few different trim levels and engines. This latest revelation, however, gives us our first official look at the new car – although it\u2019s a close-up of a headlight that doesn\u2019t reveal a great deal about the car\u2019s design. On Audi\u2019s social media post it says the Q5 will have Matrix LED headlights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The car\u2019s wider design has been previewed by our exclusive images already. To the front we\u2019ll of course get Audi\u2019s trademark trapezoidal grille and a wide lower air intake. The hot SQ5 we previously spotted will get its own bumper design front and rear for a sportier, more aggressive look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Audi has brought its rear light bar design to its all-electric range of \u2018e-tron\u2019 cars and a few internal-combustion engined models like the A8 and Q8. We expect this design detail to appear on the back of the new Q5 and further down a variety of different bumper shapes depending on the trim level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There won\u2019t be an all-electric Q5 with only even-numbered models getting electric power in a revised Audi range that includes the A6 e-tron and the Q5\u2019s EV equivalent, the Q6 e-tron. We should see a selection of 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engines with 48-volt mild-hybrid power and also a plug-in hybrid. We\u2019ll wait and see if the current car\u2019s 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre diesel offerings are carried over to the new model.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What the Q5 should share with the Q6 e-tron is the interior. Audi has already revealed the EV\u2019s cabin, which boasts a three-screen layout on the dash – made up from an 11.9-inch driver\u2019s display, 14.5-inch touchscreen in the middle and a 10.9-inch screen on the passenger\u2019s side. Some trim elements might be swapped for the Q5 but the overall layout should be quite similar to the one in the Q6 e-tron.<\/p>\n
