2025 Audi Q5: The All-New Tech Leader

The 2025 Audi Q5 marks the debut of a completely redesigned generation, setting a new benchmark for the luxury compact SUV. If you want the absolute latest in Audi innovation and a driver-centric cockpit, this is your SUV.

  • Boosted Performance: The new Q5 features a refined 2.0L TFSI® engine that now produces 268 horsepower—an increase over previous models—providing a more spirited drive for passing on the 401 or cruising through downtown Kingston.
  • The "Digital Stage" Interior: The 2025 model introduces a breathtaking curved panoramic display, combining an 11.9-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit and a 14.5-inch MMI touch display. It’s the most advanced interface ever seen in a Q5.
  • Next-Gen Comfort: Despite its agile size, the all-new Q5 has grown slightly in length, offering increased cargo volume and a rear seat that now features a 4-inch fore-aft slide to perfectly balance passenger legroom and storage space.
  • Sustainable Luxury: The interior now offers premium recycled materials like Kaskade and Dinamica, providing a modern, eco-conscious alternative to traditional leather without sacrificing the Audi premium feel.

2025 Audi Q7: The Ultimate Family Command Centre

If your lifestyle requires more room for passengers, gear, or a boat, the 2025 Audi Q7 is the clear choice. As a midsize three-row SUV, it offers a more commanding road presence and "first-class" comfort for every occupant.

  • Three-Row Versatility: With standard seating for seven, the Q7 is built for growing families and carpools to Kingston's top schools and sports centres.
  • Heavy-Duty Capability: When equipped with the 335-hp V6 engine, the Q7 boasts a massive 7,700-lb towing capacity, allowing you to haul trailers or boats to Lake Ontario with ease.
  • Luxury Refinement: The Q7 steps up the interior game with available Valcona/Cricket leather, massaging front seats, and four-zone automatic climate control to keep everyone comfortable during Ontario winters.

Which Should You Choose?

  • Choose the Audi Q5 if: You prioritize fuel efficiency, easy parking in downtown Kingston, and modern tech in a sporty package.
