One of Audi’s best sellers, the Q5, will be launched in its facelifted avatar on November 23, 2021. Pre-launch bookings are underway via dealerships or Audi’s official website for a token amount of Rs 2 lakh. Keeping in tune with Audi’s decision to not bring diesels to India in the BS6 era, the facelifted SUV will be a petrol-only offering. 

The facelifted Q5 will be offered in two broad trims: Premium Plus and Technology. It can be had in five paint options: Ibis White, Mythos Black, Navarra Blue, Floret Silver, and Manhattan Grey. Customers also can choose from two interior colour options: Black/Brown or Black/Beige. You can read more about the design changes in our detailed first drive review. 

When it comes to features, the facelifted SUV will get Audi’s updated 10.1-inch MMI infotainment system, a digital driver’s display, three-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a 755W 19-speaker Bang and Olufsen 3D sound system, adjustable dampers, and 30-colour ambient lighting. You can read our exclusive variant-wise features report for more information. 

Passenger safety is taken care of by eight airbags, ABS with EBD, front and rear parking sensors, electronic stability control, and Audi park assist. 

The facelifted SUV will be propelled by a 249PS 2-litre turbo-petrol engine, driving all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. If a more frugal diesel luxury SUV is what you want, you have no other choice but to pick the Mercedes-Benz GLC or the BMW X3. 

The facelifted Audi Q5 is likely to be priced from Rs 55 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India) onwards, putting it in the same league as the Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3, and the facelifted Volvo XC60.
