The third generation Audi Q5 arrives in Malaysia in two variants.
PHS Automotive Malaysia (PHSAM) has officially launched the third-generation Audi Q5, introducing two distinct variants to the premium SUV segment: the versatile Audi Q5 Advanced and the dynamic Audi Q5 Sportback S line.
Built on the new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture, these models represent Audi’s latest design language and a shared promise of “Vorsprung durch Technik”.
Pricing and Ownership
The all-new Audi Q5 family arrives with competitive recommended retail prices and a comprehensive ownership package:
- Audi Q5 Advanced: Priced from RM352,990.
- Audi Q5 Sportback S line: Retails from RM421,990.
Every new Q5 includes a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty, 5 years of complimentary maintenance, and 5 years of roadside assistance. Customers can further enhance this via the Audi Assurance Package (AAP), which extends the manufacturer warranty to a total of 5 years or 150,000 km.
Performance: Precision Meets Power
Both variants are powered by a 2.0-litre TFSI engine paired with a responsive 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and the legendary quattro permanent all-wheel drive system.
- Q5 Advanced: Delivers 199PS, offering a composed and smooth driving experience.
- Q5 Sportback S line: Boosted to 272PS with a sportier suspension tuning to sharpen agility and driver engagement.
Drivers can further tailor their experience through Audi Drive Select, which adjusts throttle response, steering weight, and suspension characteristics on the move.
A Reimagined Digital Stage
The interior of the all-new Q5 is human-centric and intuitively digital, featuring the Audi Assistant powered by ChatGPT for natural voice control.
- OLED MMI Display: A curved 14.5-inch OLED MMI panoramic display serves as the cockpit’s centerpiece.
- Virtual Cockpit Plus: An 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster offers customizable layouts, including a dynamic mode.
- Advanced Connectivity: Both models support the Digital Key feature, allowing users to lock, unlock, and start the car via smartphone.
- Charging Capability: Features four fast-charging Type C ports; the Sportback S line supports up to 100-watt charging in the rear, capable of powering laptops.
Stunning Light and Safety Technology
The Q5 family introduces state-of-the-art lighting that performs beyond simple illumination.
- Matrix LED Headlights: Provide precise, adaptive illumination without dazzling other drivers.
- Next Gen Projection Brake Light: Exclusive to the Sportback S line, this system projects a warning signal onto the rear window to improve road safety.
Safety is prioritized through a comprehensive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) package, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Audi Pre Sense, Blind Spot Monitoring with Exit Warning, and a Surround View 360° camera. A new Rear Occupant Detection system alerts drivers if a child remains in the vehicle after exiting.
Practicality Without Compromise
The Q5 balances athleticism with everyday utility.
- Luggage Space: The Advanced variant offers 520 litres (expandable to 1,473 litres), while the Sportback provides 515 litres (expandable to 1,415 litres).
- Hands-Free Access: Both variants feature a hands-free trunk opening system guided by a projection light under the rear bumper.
