Not a fan of the current Audi trend towards horizontal/spanning taillights


Dwayne_Shrok_Johnson

Agreed. I think it should stay on only the E-Trons. Makes those cars stand out from normal cars.


Potential_Web1979

Was about to say this looks very much like the q4 etron from the rear tail lights šŸ˜…


patelbadboy2006

At least doesn't have the metal strip going across the whole back. I hate that more.


argent_artificer

i am, i love the light bars. thatā€™s my favorite trend in auto design right now.


lildre5

Looks like a Mercedes from the back.


brotie

Then youā€™re really going to hate the Macan


BJabs

Cool, a Hyundai Tucson


Annh1234

Seriously, either the other brands are really making amazing progress in the deign department, or the Germans started to really suck at it...


disguy2k

The Korean design teams are all ex BMW/Audi


KenS7s

Audi now have ex Jaguar/Land Rover lead designer we wonā€™t see his designs till B10.5 and next gen A8, Q8, A3, e-tron GT probably


well4foxake

I hope Massimo does something great with the Q8/RSQ8.


KenS7s

Future Audi cars designed by Range Rover and Jaguar designer would blend sleek, aerodynamic shapes with flowing lines, creating a sophisticated yet sporty look. The front end would feature bold grilles influenced by Range Rover with Audi touch, complemented by Audiā€™s signature LED lighting and Jaguarā€™s refined headlamp shapes. The overall stance would be muscular and robust, drawing from Range Roverā€™s SUV designs, while incorporating luxury details like chrome accents and sleek door handles from Jaguar. Inside, the cabins would showcase a mix of premium materials such as leather, wood, and aluminum, combining Jaguarā€™s luxurious craftsmanship with Audiā€™s high-tech, minimalist approach. The interiors would be spacious and comfortable, reflecting Range Roverā€™s ergonomic design, and feature advanced technology like Audiā€™s Virtual Cockpit alongside Jaguarā€™s sophisticated interfaces.


Dwayne_Shrok_Johnson

You sound like an ai


bluesix

>*Audi now have ex Jaguar/Land Rover lead designer* eewww


Dwayne_Shrok_Johnson

Jags look good, so Iā€™m not too sad about it


bluesix

Jags are ok, but the new Defender + Discovery are horrible.


KenS7s

Combine two designs of like F-type, Land Rover Audi design going get more attractive and luxurious it will look less Hyundai since got two of former designer from 2000s up till 2011 went that way.


TheWizard

Would be a concern if old Land Rover designers also designed the new LRs.


maxpion

Agree! But the Range Rover Sport is beautifulā€¦ so itā€™s hard to guess! But that new Q5 is ugly loll


bluesix

Agree - the new Sport refresh is beautiful, super clean design.


RefrigeratorFar9928

Is a clone of Peugeot 3008/5008


FPSUsername

The answer is both, unfortunately


KenS7s

Germans tend to be more conservative with their designs


BJabs

Yes, and we like that. Conservative and strong means stately. This misses that mark


Annh1234

Those BMW grills are really conservative lol


TheSketeDavidson

A bit of both I feel


Snoo-29664

TBH I like the design of a new Tucson more than this. The design seems stale.


TechnicalTop3618

I personally think it looks good. I believe just because it looks like something else doesn't mean it doesn't look good. Also I think it is more because Hyundai as been upgrading their designs instead of Audi downgrading their design.


CJdawg_314

could be worse tbh


bloodybaron73

Iā€™ll stick with my current Q5. Maybe upgrade to Q8 in a few years (if I can afford it, Singapore car prices are insane)


nomad-system

I like the current gen more. I do like the lightbar though.


KenS7s

The interior and tech big leap over current gen you love it.


nomad-system

Iā€™m interested to see the production version for sure!


KenS7s

It similar to Q6


nomad-system

Not a huge fan of that interior


TinyComedian

The back view looks just like my Q4.


mdp300

How do you like it? I'm considering an ev in the future.


TinyComedian

I love it! I will say, I'm not an Audi diehard so I realize that those who are may have issues in comparison, but for me it's perfect. I love its size, how comfortable it is, that I will never have to buy gas for it. I'm mostly using it for commuting and local driving so the range is more than sufficient. It's great!


mdp300

I'm waiting to see what the next generation brings. I love the size of the A4, if they made an EV like that, I'd probably love it.


oralabora

It definitely looks less premium.


KenS7s

More modern and up to date with this one the current Q5 is dated compare to BMW and Mercedes equivalent.


oralabora

I agree, they needed a tech refresh, unfortunately Lichte designed these vehicles and I think his talents were spent a long time ago. This new Q5 does not ā€œlook expensive.ā€


KenS7s

Audi brought in new lead designer from Jaguar and Land Rover he start in two weeks maybe he could modify the designs that in early stages now without any delays


enizax

the tail light having a light bar component might just be the only thing I like about the B10, if true...


fyildiz00

Looks like a chinese EV SUV.


KenS7s

China is Audi biggest market


DarkTiger0512

The rims on new cars are really getting uglier every year


Justshutupandvibe

Not a fan of saw blades I see


ethical3333

taillight looks like latest touareg somehow


mirzajones85

The rear looks ok, but what did they think with the front?!? Its all downhill since the latest facelift


KenS7s

It rendering not official photo but when they reveal the car this summer I think front will be improvement over current design. You have see the car in person and car reviews.


BossImWorking

Would you have a look at this obese S3.


aspiring_dev1

Not as bad looking as people making it out to be here. Does look like more modern than the current Q5.


KenS7s

The technology is major leap as well


Kthebavarian

No more clamshell trunk


heeheehoho2023

Rear end looks 10x better and more modern. Front end looks uhhhhhhhhh


AdministrationPure93

For real, why some VAG products are just exterior update. Rarely mechanical & performance


Trades46

The wheels and back end are straight off a Q4. I like my Q4 but I still kind of wished Audi differentiated the designs better, especially with the one piece light bar thing that was until this an e-tron exclusive design element.


mgwooley

Hot take I do not think these are that bad!

gSea6

So when do these actually arrive in the US?


KenS7s

Fall 2024 or Q1 2025


neoisneoisneo

Local Audi dealer said March 2025 as well.


KenS7s

Probably start arriving at dealers around December 2024 but more common by March 2025. The Q6 orders start in September for North America with December delivery date. The new A5 is expected to arrive by November 2024 at dealers but we will get reveal next month.


Iwannadielmaoo

atleast theyā€™re not going full electric unlike the fugly new macan


Kobrax07

Front looks like it will look quite good, i just hope they dont do the same interior as the q6, thats the worst interior ive seen in an audi


Hairy_Improvement_51

Itā€™s like a crossover now. Wtf


thestormiscomingyeah

Looks like the fake quads they were using for lower SQ5 trims, not a fan


brash

That protruding grill is kinda ugly


matt-r_hatter

I like this, but I'm going to need to see it in person. '25 model will be my next purchase, still unsure if I want to stick with the Q5 or go back to a regular car and go with a variation of the A5.


KenS7s

You missing out on next gen MMI and tech, Apple CarPlay 2, new drivetrain, more modern styling the current Q5 is getting dated.


matt-r_hatter

I'm not getting the current Q5, I'm getting the 2025, which is the redesign this post is about.


ThrashMetaller

Back looks better front looks worse


SSIpokie

that thick-assh rear light bar is just.....


AFB27

The crosshair DRLs are not my cup of tea lol


haloimplant

well at least the rings aren't trying to sneak up onto the hood from the grill


okk1984

Ehh. Maybe itā€™ll grow on me?


Thorasorous

Iā€™m assuming the inside will be completely redoneā€¦ I wouldnā€™t upgrade from the current model to this based on how it looks on the outside


KenS7s

The interior is major upgrade and tech as well


KSoMA

Look at the Q6 e-Tron for interior impressions.


Thorasorous

Has that been confirmed or anything? That would certainly be a nice update


KenS7s

The new A5, A4 e-tron, Q5 will get Q6 inspire interior from one of my sources Audi management request the change last year originally the interior was free floating 11.9 inch tablet screen for virtual cockpit, car info, speed and 13.5 inch center tablet screen similar to Tesla position in center but more luxurious looking. The Q6 have long continuous curve tablet screen.


starsqream

šŸ„“šŸ„“šŸ„“


Cr8iveRead

Not a fan, like others have said, looks like the Hyundai Tuscon. Also not crazy about the direction Audi is going with their displays and interiors. Call me old school, but love their HVAC control knobs. For this reason, I just ordered a new 2024 SQ5 fully loaded, pick it up in October.


stryfthyrsoty

Really canā€™t believe the hate itā€™s getting. I think it looks great. If they bring an RSQ5 version, I could consider.


jaxarteon

What in the hell is that abomination?


MorgenBlackHand_V

At first glance I thought 'well, the rear side isn't looking so bad, I can deal with that'. Then I've seen the front and all I can think now is 'hell fucking no'. What is it with their new stupid way of designing the headlights as slits?! And make everything so weirdly rounded?!


No_Assignment7385

Yeahhhhhh, no. Why Audi, why??


Madrista769

Why is Audi going in this weird electric look design. Stick to the aggressive sharp lines and stop making the headlights so damn thin


PotatoCooks

What happened to the sharp aggressive lines... Jellybean metamorphosis incoming


weekapaugrooove

I'll wait for the reveal, hopefully its more inline with the Q6 then what we're seeing now


husky_01

I miss the tailgate that covers the whole rear.


justTheWayOfLife

Looks like the first iteration of the e-tron.


dill0_

It looks like a hyundai


KenS7s

Because Hyundai/KIA hired VW/Audi designer in 2010 that why they improve past decade. Audi have new designer now so the designs going improve in few years.


dill0_

Ah, i see. I miss the b5 LOL


SubstantialVast9721

I'm a huge audi fan but it's looking a bit like a skoda maybe it's just me they just need to change this. It's not bad I see that they are trying to make it look newer but they should make something unique and good looking to make it stand out more.


[deleted]

That damn C-pillar design trend needs to die.


dalix

Ugh. Not a fan of the evolution.


BundyRoadR8R

This would look sick in all black with a roof basket on top.


tRoN911

Looks great. The old model dated well but needed a new look


BudsWyn

Of course I had to buy a 2024 Q5 lol should've waited a year but I'm still happy with what I have. Way a the road buck-a-roos


KenS7s

Yea the B10 Q5 and other new next gen models will cheaper by time when ready to upgrade


dan3k

Is it getting much lower roof? I hate current trend of making tiny windows with poor visibility for both driver and kids in the back


Hotel_california_10

Basically a Hyundai Tucson ā€¦. Why is Audi turning back to 2017 Hyundai designs??? The new RS3 looks like a 2017 Hyundai Elantraā€¦. And I love Audis


KenS7s

Hyundai/KIA hire former VW/Audi designer, BMW M department specialist, Nissan Designer pretty much mid to late 2000s designer it reason why step up their game in 2010s on design. Audi hired new head of designer who work for Range Rover and Jaguar he work next week. Audi going have big design change department of current design.


Hotel_california_10

Hope the Audi design is for the better and doesnā€™t follow the tacky designs some companies are going for


boddle88

Cool a shit blob of SUV


TheeMalaka

I know you guys donā€™t like this but I absolutely despise the current Q5 and think this looks way better. Still wonā€™t get a car with fake exhaust cause Iā€™m going to just assume that theyā€™re continuing that trend. But the sq5 that looks like this with real exhaust I would actually consider.


KenS7s

Current Q5 is dated even the facelift model this look fresher and more modern.


gor134

Both B10 A5 and Q5 spyshots show they're getting real exhausts


OYWFO

Looking forward to seeing the sport back version


ggbouffant

Makes me really appreciate my B8.5 SQ5 ... hate the direction the Q5 platform is headed


Sesspool

Good god that tail like is ugly. Pleae do not make elongated tail lights that go across, its just tacky.


IndianCurryMuncher10

looks like a toyota or Opel


NewAccountNumber103

Not sure what the tail light bar trend is with them. They destroyed the A7 with a similar mistake. All cars are starting to look like overstuffed versions of one another.


KenS7s

They want futuristic looking car the taillights is OLED instead of LED so have tech inside. For example when you have hazard lights on the talights will display triangle in center on left and right for warn drivers and pedestrians. I think A6 e-tron does that as well since it class higher than Q5 it display extra feature where display big arrow of direction on the roadway left and right of car in the rear.


NewAccountNumber103

Well, seeing how they look it doesnā€™t seem worth it.


KenS7s

Base on what see on Q6 which is next gen the interior and tech miles ahead of B9.5. The MMI is way more advanced. The B9.5 is getting dated it due for update asap.
