Audi Q5 Price in India 2026

The Audi Q5 is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder TFSI turbocharged petrol engine. For the 2026 model year in the Indian market, this engine is integrated with a 12V Mild-Hybrid (MHEV) system. This setup enhances efficiency by allowing the engine to coast at speeds between 55 and 160 km/h and ensures a smoother, faster operation of the start-stop system, which is particularly beneficial for urban traffic conditions in cities like Delhi or Mumbai.

In its current "45 TFSI" state of tune, the Q5 produces a peak power of 245.59 bhp (rounded to 249 PS in some technical brochures). This power level provides a perfect middle ground within the Audi SUV range, offering more urgency than the Q3 while maintaining better fuel economy than the larger V6-powered Q7.

The Q5 delivers 370 Nm of torque starting from just 1,600 rpm. This wide torque plateau ensures that the vehicle has plenty of pulling power for highway overtakes and uphill climbs, even when fully loaded with five passengers and luggage.

The Q5 manages a 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.3 seconds. This brisk acceleration is aided by the Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which ensures maximum traction from a standstill, and the rapid shifting of the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission is standard. It features two sub-transmissions that allow the next gear to be permanently pre-selected, resulting in gear changes that occur within a few hundredths of a second without any interruption in power.

The Q5 uses "Quattro with Ultra Technology," a proactive all-wheel-drive system. It primarily operates in front-wheel drive to save fuel but can engage the rear wheels in a fraction of a second when sensors detect a need for more traction, such as on wet roads or during spirited cornering.

With a length of 4.68 meters and a wheelbase of 2,819 mm, the Q5 sits perfectly in the mid-size SUV category. Its dimensions offer a balance between a commanding road presence and ease of parking in tight urban environments.

A generous ground clearance of 200 mm makes the Q5 one of the more versatile luxury SUVs for Indian roads. It can comfortably navigate deep potholes and high-profile speed breakers that might challenge lower-slung sedans.

The India-spec Q5 comes with 8 airbags as standard, including side airbags for the rear passengers. This ensures a high level of safety for all occupants, aligning with Audi’s global safety standards.

The Audi Q5 holds a 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP and ANCAP (updated for 2025-2026 builds). It scored exceptionally high in Adult Occupant Protection (over 85%), supported by its high-strength steel chassis and active safety suites like Audi Pre-Sense.

The Q5 features a 10.1-inch standalone MMI touch screen with a refreshed 2026 UI. It is paired with the 12.3-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus, which provides three customizable views: Classic, Sport, and Dynamic. The system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.

Standard maintenance is required every 15,000 km or once a year. In 2026, Audi India offers comprehensive "Audi Care" packages that can be extended up to 7 years, covering all major service components.
