History
The Q5 has been a part of Audi’s lineup since 2008 and is the brand’s second production SUV following the Q7. The first generation, identified by the internal code 8R, lasted nearly a decade and underwent a significant facelift in the early 2010s. The second generation, introduced between 2017 and 2018 depending on the market, modernized the styling with sharper surfaces, a wider grille, and a more digital interior. The Q5 Sportback joined this lineup in 2020, offering a more dynamic and sleeker silhouette thanks to its sloping roofline. This introduced a new stylistic direction that combines SUV practicality with coupe-like design.
