Audi Q5 and Q5 Sportback (2026) Price & Specs
The new Audi Q5 and Q5 Sportback – including the 270 kW SQ6 derivatives – have touched down in South Africa. Here’s what you’ll pay for these newcomers…
- New Q5 and Q5 Sportback arrive in SA
- Local line-up comprises 10 derivatives
- 270 kW SQ5 TFSI variants top the range
The new Audi Q5 and Q5 Sportback have finally arrived in South Africa, with the local line-up comprising as many as 10 all-wheel-drive derivatives – including a quartet of potent 270 kW SQ5 variants – at launch.
As a reminder, the 3rd-generation Q5 was revealed back in September 2024, while the covers came off the closely related sloped-roof Sportback in November of that year. Now these models have finally touched down in Mzansi.
Thanks to a timely heads-up from the ever-vigilant folks over at duoporta.com, we know the local range comprises 4 derivatives in the standard body style and 6 in Sportback guise. Interestingly, the Q5 SUV is offered exclusively in petrol form at launch, while the Q5 Sportback portfolio features the option of turbodiesel power, too.
The Q5 TFSI 200 kW quattro S line is priced from R1 295 000, while the Black Edition version comes in at R1 350 000. For the record, the outgoing line-up had a starting price of R1 018 200, with the new range kicking off some R256 800 higher.
And it’s the Q5 Sportback TDI 150 kW quattro S line that effectively serves as the entry point to the range, priced from R1 275 000. Opting for this derivative in Black Edition guise pushes the price to R1 330 000. Meanwhile, the Q5 Sportback TFSI 200 kW quattro S line comes in at R1 365 000, with the Black Edition iteration costing R1 420 000.
What about the Audi Sport derivatives? Well, the SQ5 TFSI 270 kW quattro is priced from R1 510 000 (and the Black Edition version from R1 565 000), while the SQ5 Sportback TFSI 270 kW quattro costs R1 580 000 and the Black Edition iteration tops the range at R1 635 000.
