Audi Q5 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Q5 is Audi's compact luxury SUV, and it comes in several body styles and performance levels. The standard Q5 is the starting point, the Q5 Sportback has a sloping roofline, and the SQ5 is the higher-performance version. Each has its own set of trims and its own prices.

The figures here are 2026 model year MSRPs as listed by iSeeCars, which shows no publication date. Audi can change prices during the model year, so confirm the figure for your configuration with a dealer before you rely on it.

The standard Q5 comes in three trims, all with quattro all-wheel drive in this listing.

The Premium is the entry point at $52,800. The Premium Plus is $55,700, and the Prestige is the top trim at $60,700. Each trim adds equipment over the one below it, so look at what separates the levels before deciding how far to go.

The Sportback uses a more coupe-like roofline and costs more than the matching Q5 trim.

The Sportback Premium is listed at $55,100, the Premium Plus at $57,800, and the Prestige at $62,800. Compare each with the same-named Q5 above to see what the Sportback body adds to the price.

The SQ5 is the performance model in the family.

It starts at $65,400 for the Premium. The Premium Plus is $67,300, and the Prestige is $71,300. If you are choosing between a Q5 Prestige and an SQ5 Premium, compare the equipment lists, since price alone does not show what you give up or gain.

Audi's trim names repeat across its lineup, which makes cross-model comparison easier. The Premium is the baseline and is the right place to start if the Q5's size and badge are the main attraction. The Premium Plus adds comfort and technology equipment. The Prestige carries the fullest equipment of the three.

The price steps are not equal, so it helps to look at where the cost rises fastest. In the Q5 group, the jump from Premium Plus to Prestige is larger than the jump from Premium to Premium Plus. Decide which features justify each step before you commit, and check whether a lower trim can add the features you want through an option package.

The destination charge listed for the Q5 is $1,395. It is separate from MSRP and appears on the window sticker.

Other items affect what you pay:

• Option packages, paint, and wheels.
• Taxes, title, and registration.
• Dealer documentation fees.
• Dealer discounts or markups, which vary by dealer and region.

Compact luxury SUVs are crowded with strong competitors, and trims between brands do not line up neatly. Instead of comparing starting prices, build a list of the features you want and price them at each brand. Ask each dealer for the out-the-door price in writing.

Test drive the trims you are considering back to back if you can. Seat comfort, visibility, and cabin technology are easier to judge in person than from a spec sheet.

Pay attention to which features come standard and which come in packages. A package that costs extra on one brand may be included in another brand's higher trim, so the cheaper base price does not always make the cheaper car.
