All-New 2025 Audi Q5 vs 2025 Audi Q8
Shopping for a luxury SUV in Warwick, RI? The all-new 2025 Audi Q5 and the refined 2025 Audi Q8 offer two distinct takes on Audi excellence. While the Q5 has been fully redesigned for the new model year, the Q8 continues to lead in size and prestige. Whether you're commuting down I-95 or heading out for a weekend in Narragansett, both models deliver—but which one fits your lifestyle best?
How Do the Audi Q5 and Q8 Compare on Performance?
The all-new 2025 Q5 now offers a single powertrain option, more powerful than the previous base powertrain, making it a strong contender for Rhode Island drivers who value a thrilling drive. The Q8 delivers bold V6 power with a smoother, larger ride.
The all-new 2025 Audi Q5 makes 268 horsepower thanks to a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It rides on the Premium Platform Combustion architecture.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Q8 is powered by a 335-horsepower turbocharged 3.0L V6 mild-hybrid engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for confident highway merging and long-distance cruising. Both SUVs include quattro® all-wheel drive for enhanced grip on snowy Rhode Island roads or wet coastal drives.
How Do the Q5 and Q8 Differ in Design?
Both models reflect Audi’s refined design language, but the Q5's 2025 redesign brings in bolder details, while the Q8 maintains its sleek, commanding presence.
The Q5 features a tall, sculpted profile with deep side creases, a reshaped, wide mesh grille, and new pointed LED headlight designs with a bold LED light bar. The Q8 offers a flatter roofline and coupe-like rear, chrome trim accents, sharp corners on the grille, and dual-arrow LED headlight signatures for an upscale and aggressive look. Both include signature Audi styling, but the Q8 leans toward executive elegance while the Q5 embraces contemporary edge.
Which Audi SUV Offers the Most Features?
The Q5 comes packed with premium features, while the Q8 builds on those with luxury add-ons for a more indulgent experience. Depending on the trim, the Audi Q5 includes leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, a Bang & Olufsen® 16-speaker sound system, navigation, a surround-view camera, dual-pane acoustic glass, Audi Connect®, a 14.5-inch touchscreen, a head-up display, and driver memory settings.
The Audi Q8 offers many of the same amenities, plus available night vision, massaging front seats, soft-close doors, intersection assist, four-zone climate control, and enhanced sound options for even more comfort and tech.
