They need to as Audi has been lagging in rolling out new models. I read that some top managers had to go because of the slow releases. Also, it's time for Audi to get the new A8/A9 premiered. They need to raise the bar of their flagship(s)
They needed to. I had to overlook them completely in the Spring and get my Mum the Countryman as it was a German new launch; nothing else was in that segment.
They took away my favorite feature, the flat top shifter handle that was such a joy to drive with. Who needs that useless slider button there’s no fun in that.
You are correct. If you walk into a BMW dealership right now and there are 30 cars inside, 28 of them will have M all over them. They devalued their M branding. M means nothing now that is everywhere. And AMG and S/RS are closely following too. The badge should be renamed to M-line or AMG-line or S-line. It should be separated from the real one. Those badges should only be eligible on their real performance models.
from speaking with a dealer the red rhombus (idiotically) means S line except confusingly they don't spell it out, so how are we to know this. So chill its no different to M sport or AMG line etc. I don't agree with this design decision either.
Ffs I ditched my new S3 quickly for a 3 year old SQ5 because of the crap shifter switch and now this has it 😢😢😢 I’ll be sticking with my older SQ5 now as at least it has proper switch gear and buttons. The golf R went the same route and I got rid of that too. Ffs Audi you were my last hope.
No 3.0 TDI, lazy exterior lines, cheap key, cheap screens, small exhausts, to much plastics everywhere. Everything is fucked up compared to old Q5. I was for sure one of the biggest Audi fans currently owning 3 Audi cars (A6, Q5, Q8) and after all these premiers I will sell them all and buy Mercedes because it is only car brand now that makes great looking and good quality interiors with beautiful exteriors.
They continue to present new cars in bland empty rooms in boring exterior colors. Taillights stolen from Mercedes? Ffs. Driver focused central console making an S shape is too much for the eyes. Remember all the beautiful straight line central consoles? Simple and classy. The big screen has terrible curves, it's like a child cut them with scissors. Who let the brand take such a wrong turn? 😔 😔 😔
Not terrible, but not good either...at least this design works a little better in this SUV than in the new A4/A5...so dull and rounded, very different from past generations with their strong and aggressive lines...generic design EVs making school everywhere 😵💫
@@rdubtheislander238 in what ways. Be specific. You want the old Q5 with the same dated interior since 2017? Just another negative person behind a keyboard. Get a used one ya broke kid.
@@sapientbudgie5652 Do you drive cars? Do you not notice there are no physical buttons, switches or dials inside the car that can be easily used? The steering wheel in the Golf 8 was so bad with its capacitive buttons. Functions would be accidentally pressed while driving. It was changed back to physical buttons for the Golf 8.5. That steering wheel alone is a disaster and they will have to go back to physical buttons when they refresh the vehicle later.
@@rdubtheislander238 I have a lot of cars. Including 2 audi products. The “physical” button crap is a cliche used by every low life basement dweller to complain about something. Who the F cares. Golf? Thats for homeless people. I personally love touch screens. No problems for me. Get use to ya complaining baby.
No buttons=no Audi! DISSAPOINTMENT! cheap screens instead of buttons for CC( 3-rd screen is waste ), cheap shiny plastic, micro hand rest box🤮 and no diesel SQ🤒
The interior of the previous generation looked much more quality and had physical buttons for climate control. I don't like these touch buttons, it distracts you from the road because you have to look where you are pressing. Manufacturers have a responsibility to make it possible to use the most frequently used functions without taking your eyes off the road - it's basic safety and VAG have gone crazy cheapening cars by putting all the functions on a touchscreen. Also, the fashion for screens for passengers is absolutely idiotic because people get carsick when they look at the screen while driving. The taillight is beautiful. Thanks for the real exhaust. Otherwise - FY pre restyling looks all around more cool, muscular, beautiful, and the interior was perfect in the restyling, just needed to update it slightly, with the physical climate control unit retained.
Audi is going crazy with premieres lately

I much prefer this wheel design to the ones featured on the SQ5.

Looks like resale values of 2024 and before just went up
Holy crap. Even the key looks cheaper than the old design😂
It doesn’t look cheaper. It IS cheaper.
@@voycodin5042 facts
That interior is gross. Just what I need after staring at screens all day at work, more f-ing screens.
Ride a horse
@@TeXasDadBodThank you lol
@@TeXasDadBod 🤣add a buggy to it...
@@TeXasDadBod love this comment 😂 🐎
Please please no split headlight design!!!! It makes it look like a Citroen C4 Cactus or Hyundai Kona previous generation 🤦
Auditography said on IG that the new Q5 will not have the split headlights. Thanks almighty!
@@enekmartinyeta1215 great news 💪🔥
@@enekmartinyeta1215 i guess only etron models will have split headlights. Which aint bad noone cares bout EVs
🤣🤣👍🏾👍🏾@@thedarwin6363
@@thedarwin6363not every E-tron model has the split lights. The Q8 and GT are on that list.
It's really a beautiful SUV,,, practical in terms of size and gaz mileage and it has something or some resemblance to a Porsche on back side,,,,👍!!!
Any chance to have later in 2025 , 3.0 TDI version with Torsen diff? (Actual 50TDI)
S logo belongs on S cars only. Same with the RS. Why did they do the same thing BMW does with all of the M badging.

Why is there a screen infront of the passenger seat? That's just weird. I like everything else otherwise
204 HP.....woaa
Sportback ?
Until new year… now it’s Preseries
ah ok thanks
Im just not in love with Audi as I used to be...
God, I really don't like these large display designs. It's just being lazy

Wonder if the grill won't crack when you hit a butterfly.
Should put the macan engine into the q5
Audi takes my money 💵 when sq5?
Yes please on the SQ5

Of course a 3.0 TDI.
Lol you serious?
Hyndai q5...
Only buttons, no more rotary controls... that's shit
It looks better than new 👍BMW X3
Tacky.
What a massive step down. Shittier materials, no hard buttons and bastardize the S badge and slap it on everything.
More screens, more ambient lightning, softer exterior body lines. So Audi is going the same direction as Mercedes-Benz now? 😒
Yeah, it's awful
And real exhaust pipes!
panel without frame was horrible

There is only one b10.And it is not a Q5.
I have loved all Audi cars until 2023 but 2024 new releases 🤮 Q4 Q5 Q6, A3 A5 🤮

Pass
All the critics who will want one in a year. Looks great. If you don’t like screens get a Pontiac vibe and stfu.
I like the screens but I wouldn’t option the passenger one.
Get real. More expensive and such a step down in so many ways.

The new key is the cheapest and ugliest in Audi history.
Very disappointed with the recent decisions from Audi.
Horrível 🤮🤮🤮

Too bad this was all fake !
Audi cars are over all a the same foe chinese market... fucking hudai
2:06 So they remove the RS badging from the real RS cars and put it on the wheels of some shity Q5.
