Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Audi Q5 is a compact executive SUV for buyers who want a premium five-seat petrol SUV rather than an electric alternative. In Malaysia, the GU-generation Q5 starts at RM352,900 in Advanced 2.0 TFSI form, with a 1,984 cc engine, 196 hp and a wet dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

Q5 in 2026 — what's new

The current Audi Q5 is the 2026-launched GU generation in Malaysia. The regular Q5 line-up is simple: Advanced 2.0 TFSI only. Malaysian updates also put the Q5 Sportback S line 2.0 TFSI quattro alongside it, but the regular Q5 covered here is the conventional-body, five-seat petrol SUV with 196 hp and a dual-clutch automatic.

Verdict

The Q5 keeps the brief clean: a new-generation Audi compact executive SUV, five seats, petrol power and a dual-clutch automatic. Its RM352,900 price is higher than the BMW X3 from RM320,800, Mercedes-Benz GLC from RM329,888 and Volvo XC60 from RM333,888, so the badge and latest-generation body are not coming cheaply. Buy it for the Audi shape and spec, not because it undercuts the obvious rivals.
