Audi SUV model updates and releases

Overview

Audi is expanding its SUV lineup through the release and preparation of new model generations. The company has unveiled a new generation of the Q5 luxury SUV, which maintains diesel engine options, such as a 2-liter TDI quattro producing 204 horsepower, to serve markets with limited electric charging infrastructure. Designed to compete with the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, the Q5 features a digital-focused interior with a curved dashboard and a dedicated passenger touchscreen. In Indonesia, Audi has officially launched the new generation Q5 at the GIIAS 2026 event. This version features a 2.0 TFSI engine producing 196 PS and 340 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed S tronic transmission. The vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds with an average fuel efficiency of 7.3 liters per 100 km. Technological highlights include the Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus with an 11.9-inch display, a 10.9-inch MMI Front Passenger Display, and Digital OLED rear lights. Audi also introduced a Q5 Sportback variant featuring a coupe-like design and quattro all-wheel drive. Simultaneously, Audi is progressing with the third-generation Q3 SUV. In India, Audi has officially opened bookings for the model via its website, dealerships, and the myAudi connect app for a token amount of Rs. 1 lakh. The India-spec model, which is expected to be assembled locally, features a more muscular stance with a larger Singleframe grille, split-headlamp arrangement, and a 2D Audi emblem. The vehicle measures 4,531 mm in length and will feature a modernized interior with a 12.8-inch central touchscreen and an 11.9-inch digital driver display. The Q3 is expected to be powered by a 2.0-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol engine producing approximately 204hp and 320Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and likely standard Quattro all-wheel drive.
