Audi Q5, SQ5 join Black Edition line-up
Having launched Black Edition derivatives of no fewer than 4 of its models (and their respective variants) since late in 2023, Audi South Africa recently extended the special trim grade to its Q5 Executive SUV and SQ5 Executive SUV Coupe as well.
Audi South Africa’s Black Edition rollout began with the A4 and S4 sedan last year, followed by the Q2, A3 Sportback and Sedan, S3 Sportback and Sedan, as well as the Q3 SUV and Q3 Sportback in March (Urban Edition versions of the Q3 and A3 Sportback and Sedan were also introduced at the time).
Audi South Africa says the Q5 and Q5 Sportback Black Edition derivatives “place the focus squarely on dynamic design and convenience” and the Ingolstadt-based brand hopes these newcomers will garner the same market reception as the “plethora of (Black- and Urban Edition) variants that have captivated local buyers with their design appeal, generous standard specification and compelling finance offers.”
