8 Great Highlights of the Versatile 2025 Audi Q5
As your Audi dealer near Eden, it’s our pleasure to let you know about the luxurious models that you can find here at Audi Roanoke. Our lineup runs the gamut from sleek sedans to spacious three-row SUVs, with plenty of models in between to help you strike the right balance between cabin space and on-road maneuverability. For many, the Q5 is right in the Goldilocks zone, with plenty of room for you and your passengers to get comfortable and stow your cargo, but a small enough footprint that navigating crowded parking lots and traveling down tight city streets is a piece of cake.
As a well-rounded model that was fully redesigned to tackle just about any drive with style and grace, from the most ordinary errand run to the most epic of road trips, the 2025 Q5 has a lot of great features to cover. We don’t have time to get to all of them today, but we will give you an idea of what this model has to offer with a list of eight highlights. If you want to learn more about the Q5, you can always give us a call or drop by for a test drive to see what it’s really like to be behind the wheel of this luxurious ride.
#1 - All-Weather Comfort
Luxury means never needing to dread a cold snap or heat wave. You can drive around Eden in comfort no matter the weather in the Q5, thanks to its premium lineup of features. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and even heated rear seats are available, helping you get toasty right away on a chilly morning. Upgrade to the higher trims to get ventilated front seats and rear side window shades that will keep the sun’s burning rays at bay. These features work in concert with the standard three-zone automatic climate control system that makes sure you, your front passenger, and anyone in the back can choose a perfect temperature and enjoy it uninterrupted throughout the journey, no matter how the weather outside fluctuates.
A configurable interior is a plus for just about every SUV—instead of a sealed trunk, you have an open cargo area that can be expanded by folding the rear seats down. However, the Q5 isn’t content with just matching other models in this segment; it makes storing cargo for all situations convenient and comfortable. Instead of having the kind of 60/40 split that’s usually found in compact SUVs, the Q5 has a 40/20/40 split. This lets you fold just the middle seat down so you can accommodate four people while also carrying extra-long cargo or allowing the family dog to come up and say hi to the backseat passengers. You can use the power tailgate to access the cargo area easily, even if your hands are full after a big shopping spree.
Choosing between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive can be difficult since each one has its own pros and cons. Four-wheel drive gives you more traction, but two-wheel drive is more fuel-efficient and is perfectly fine when road conditions are good. In places that don’t get much snow, like Eden, it doesn’t necessarily make sense to go through gas more quickly in order to get traction you don’t usually need. However, it can pay to be prepared for a little snow, and four-wheel drive can also come in handy on rainy days, dirt roads, and gravel driveways. Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive, which comes standard on the Q5, gives you the best of both worlds: it uses advanced systems to detect when powering all four wheels is necessary and proactively gives you extra grip before you need it. If more traction isn’t necessary, it will switch back to prioritizing the rear wheels so you can bypass pain at the pump.
#4 - Audi Drive Select
Whether you’re cruising around Eden or heading out far from home for a long drive, you will be ready for anything behind the wheel of your Q5. Audi Drive Select is one feature that truly helps you to stay prepared for any situation. Using the intuitive infotainment system, you can easily switch between multiple modes. Changing modes is simple, but the effects are complex, as they affect various vehicle settings to give you the ideal power and driving dynamics for the task at hand. "Balanced" adjusts automatically, "comfort" gives you the smoothest ride possible, "offroad" lets you leave the pavement behind, and "dynamic" gives you performance that’s sure to appeal to your inner race car driver.
#5 - Driver Assistance
Modern automotive technology makes it easier than ever to stay aware of your surroundings and avoid danger everywhere from parking lots to busy freeways. The 2025 Q5 features a wide array of advanced driver assist tools so you can drive with confidence wherever you go. Adaptive cruise assist makes long highway drives a snap since the Q5 will automatically keep a safe following distance between you and the vehicle ahead and stay centered in your lane as you drive. Side assist uses radar sensors to monitor your blind zones—you’ll get a simple LED signal in your side view mirrors when a blind spot is occupied and a warning if you try to change lanes during the wrong time. Park assist plus will automatically maneuver the Q5 while perpendicular or parallel parking so you can fit into the tightest of spots without scratching any paint. If you want to maneuver yourself, you can use the top view camera system to see any hidden obstacles and ensure that you’re nicely lined up with the curb.
#6 - MMI Touch Display
Every trim of the redesigned 2025 Q5 comes standard with the same generous 14.5-inch MMI touch display. This screen can be fully customized so you can make it your own and put your favorite features front and center. Not only are the graphics crisp and easy to see at a glance, but they’re also supplemented by voice commands, so you can easily interact with the system while keeping your eyes on the road. You can connect your smartphone to the system through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to call your contacts hands-free, pull up your favorite playlists, use your navigation app of choice for turn-by-turn directions, and more.
The central touchscreen isn’t the only premium display onboard the Q5. There’s also the 11.9-inch virtual cockpit, which sits right behind the wheel, in your natural line of sight as a driver. Like any instrument cluster, this puts vital information like speed and fuel level at your fingertips so you can check it easily. But because it’s fully digital, this display can be customized to suit your needs. You can choose which information to put here and how to display it, so you can get everything from navigation directions to safety warnings right where you want them.
#8 - Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium Sound System
Audiophiles and music lovers of all stripes are sure to appreciate the available Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium sound system. With a total of 19 speakers and 755 watts of power, you’ll have plenty of oomph on hand when you want to drive around Eden blasting your favorite tunes. Top-notch clarity gives you a concert hall experience on the go so you can get the most out of every note.
