Audi Q5 Premium, Prestige & More Trims

Last updated August 4, 2026

Audi Q5

The Audi Q5 gas lineup starts with Premium, the well-equipped everyday-luxury version. Premium Plus is the technology and convenience sweet spot, while Prestige is the fullest luxury trim with the richest comfort, display, lighting, and parking features. Older specialty branches include the efficiency-focused Hybrid Prestige and the torque-rich TDI Premium Plus and TDI Prestige diesels. The newer 55 TFSI e family is the plug-in-hybrid branch, offered in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige forms with short electric-only driving and standard quattro all-wheel drive.

Audi Q5 Hybrid

Hybrid

Hybrid Prestige

The Hybrid trim level consists of Hybrid Prestige, the 2013–2016 Q5 that combines Prestige equipment with a gas-electric powertrain and quattro all-wheel drive.

Best for: Shoppers seeking better city fuel economy in an older Q5 without giving up all-wheel drive or top-trim equipment.

Highlights

  • Eight-speed automatic and quattro all-wheel drive
  • Navigation and 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio
  • Rearview camera, parking sensors, and blind-spot monitoring

The Diesel trim level covers TDI Premium Plus and TDI Prestige, two 2014–2016 Q5 versions known for strong low-speed pull and relaxed long-distance driving.

Best for: Drivers who favor easy passing power and a highway-oriented character, with either mid-level or top-trim equipment.

Highlights

  • 240-hp turbo-diesel 3.0-liter V6 with 428 lb-ft of torque

Frequently asked questions

Is the Q5 Premium a stripped-down base trim?

No. On recent Q5s, Premium still has the core luxury equipment, including leather upholstery, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, large digital displays, and adaptive cruise control.

What does Premium Plus add over Premium on newer Q5s?

On the latest generation, Premium Plus adds the upgrades drivers notice often: Bang & Olufsen audio, a top-view camera, an integrated dashcam, a heated steering wheel, richer lighting, and lane-centering support for adaptive cruise control.

What does Prestige add over Premium Plus on newer Q5s?

On the latest generation, Prestige adds comfort-focused hardware such as adaptive air suspension, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a head-up display, a front-passenger screen, and upgraded exterior lighting.

Which recent gas Q5 trim is the sensible middle choice?

Premium Plus is the middle choice for shoppers who want noticeably more technology without moving to the fullest trim. Its surround-view camera, premium audio, heated steering wheel, and added highway assistance are useful in daily driving.

Is the Q5 Prestige faster than Premium Plus?

Not in the latest gas lineup. Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige share the same 268-hp turbo engine and all-wheel drive. Prestige focuses on ride comfort, displays, seating, and lighting rather than extra power. Older lineups varied.

What is the difference between the Q5 40 TFSI and 45 TFSI?

In the outgoing second-generation lineup, 40 TFSI was the lower-output 201-hp gas version, while 45 TFSI used a stronger 261-hp setup. Both paired a turbo four-cylinder engine with all-wheel drive.

What does S line mean on an Audi Q5?

S line mainly identifies sportier exterior styling on the regular Q5. It does not turn the vehicle into an SQ5. On outgoing 45 TFSI and 55 TFSI e models, the S line name appeared alongside Premium, Premium Plus, or Prestige.

What does 55 TFSI e mean on a Q5?

55 TFSI e identifies the outgoing plug-in-hybrid Q5 powertrain, not one equipment level. These models combine a turbo gas engine, electric motor, charging capability, and all-wheel drive, then use Premium, Premium Plus, or Prestige trims.

Which Q5 plug-in-hybrid trim should I look for?

Premium is the simpler 55 TFSI e, Premium Plus adds useful camera and driver-assistance upgrades, and Prestige adds the richest lighting and display equipment. For many shoppers, Premium Plus is the balanced plug-in-hybrid trim.

What did Premium Plus add over Premium on older Q5s?

On many first- and second-generation Q5s, Premium Plus was mainly a comfort-and-convenience step. Depending on the era, it added items such as a panoramic sunroof, heated seats, keyless entry, driver memory, digital gauges, navigation, and parking aids.

What did Prestige add over Premium Plus on older Q5s?

On older Q5s, Prestige generally added the fullest technology bundle. Common upgrades included premium audio, a head-up display, navigation, stronger camera coverage, adaptive cruise control, upgraded headlights, and quieter front side glass. Equipment changed by era.

What is a Q5 Titanium trim?

Titanium is a darker, sportier-looking version found in part of the older lineup. Depending on the exact version, it also bundled features such as blind-spot monitoring, parking sensors, keyless entry, a heated steering wheel, digital gauges, or premium audio.

What is the difference between a 2.0T and 3.0T Q5?

On older Q5s, 2.0T identifies the turbo four-cylinder model, while 3.0T identifies the stronger supercharged V6. The 3.0T was commonly paired with Premium Plus or Prestige equipment and sportier S line exterior trim.

What is the difference between TDI Premium Plus and TDI Prestige?

Both use the 240-hp diesel V6 with 428 lb-ft of torque and all-wheel drive. TDI Prestige adds top-trim equipment such as navigation, Bang & Olufsen audio, adaptive headlights, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear camera with parking sensors.

How is Hybrid Prestige different from the 55 TFSI e?

Hybrid Prestige is the older non-plug-in hybrid sold from 2013 through 2016, so it does not charge from an outlet. The 55 TFSI e is the later plug-in hybrid sold from 2020 through 2025 and supports short electric-only trips after charging.
