Audi Korea has launched sales of the enhanced versions of its flagship SUVs, the 'Audi Q5' and 'Audi Q5 Sportback', on the 9th, 2026.

Pricing, inclusive of value-added tax and based on a 5% individual consumption tax, starts at 69.9 million won for the Audi Q5 and 72.9 million won for the Audi Q5 Sportback . Overall prices have increased by approximately 3 to 5 million won compared to previous models, bringing the total arithmetic average price across all eight LINE trims to around 80.15 million won.

Both SUV models utilize the 'PPC (Premium Platform Combustion)' platform, originally introduced for internal combustion engine and PHEV vehicles starting with the 2024 Audi A5 (B10). The key highlights of this enhanced version are that while the design and digital specifications remain unchanged, driving assistance and driver convenience features have been expanded. All S-LINE trims now come standard with 'Adaptive Air Suspension', which optimizes ride height based on road conditions and driving modes, as well as 'Adaptive Cruise Assist Plus', which supports lane centering and lane change assistance. Additionally, a head-up display and a 360° surround-view camera are included as standard equipment.

The powertrain lineup consists of one diesel and two gasoline variants, with no electrified options. All trims feature the permanent all-wheel-drive system Quattro paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The diesel model, '40 TDI Quattro', is equipped with a 2.0 TDI engine and incorporates Audi's first mild-hybrid MHEV Plus system in its diesel lineup, delivering a maximum output of 204 horsepower and peak torque of 40.789 kg·m. The gasoline models include the '40 TFSI Quattro', which produces 204 horsepower and 34.67 kg·m of torque, and the high-performance '45 TFSI Quattro', offering 271.9 horsepower and 40.79 kg·m of torque.

Inside, the vehicle is equipped with the 'MMI Panoramic Display', comprising an 11.9-inch Virtual Cockpit Plus and a 14.5-inch MMI Touch display. Users can access applications such as YouTube, Spotify, and Naver Maps via the proprietary application store. The S-LINE trim comes standard with 20-inch Audi Sport wheels, an S-LINE exterior package, and a B&O 3D Premium Sound System.

The lineup consists of four trims in total. The 'Light Package', which includes matrix LED headlights and digital OLED taillights, is offered as an optional feature on the S-LINE trim but comes standard on the '45 TFSI Quattro S-LINE'.
