Audi India has announced that the latest generation Q5 SUV would be launched in India later this month. The 2021 Q5, which has been out of production for over two years owing to tighter emission regulations, will resurface on Indian roads on November 23.

The facelifted Audi Q5 gets a new face with the new Audi grille, wider and flatter than before. The standard LED headlamps have been sharpened up and get the segmented LED lighting seen on cars like the A6 and A8. The bumpers have been sharpened up too while there are new tail lamps and a chunkier ornamental diffuser.

The Audi Q5 facelift will be available with a single petrol engine. This is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol that puts out 245PS and 370 Nm and pairs with a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox. The SUV will also come with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system, drive modes and adaptive suspension.

The facelifted 2021 Q5 will be available in two variants - Premium Plus and Technology. The feature highlights will include a new 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto/Apple Carplay, digital instrument cluster, Bang and Olufsen sound system, wireless charging and a remote boot opening function among other things. Safety features will include eight airbags and a park assist function.

The 2021 Audi Q5 is being locally assembled at the Volkswagen Group's facility in Aurangabad. This should let Audi India price it on par with rivals like the Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3, the upcoming Volvo XC60 facelift and the Jaguar F-Pace. Expect prices to start from Rs 60 lakh, ex-showroom.
