The Q5 is Audi’s best-selling model in the United States, and by a pretty wide margin. The German automaker sold 17,551 units of its compact crossover in 2024, while the next closest model, the Q3, only moved 10,347 units. An all-new third-generation 2025 Audi Q5 is currently hitting dealerships, and it is arriving at a crucial time. The fourth-generation BMW X3 was just refreshed last year, sparking a big controversy related to its cheap interior, and the second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLC suffers from a similar issue and a backlash from dropping its V6 and V8 engines. This could be the perfect moment for Audi to pounce.
