And while there are no updates to the interior or on the equipment front, Audi is offering an accessories package at a special price that includes running boards and ‘Audi ring’ foil finished in silver. Audi, however, has not quoted a price for the accessories package that’ll be over and above the ex-showroom price.

Based on the top-spec Technology trim, the Q5 Special Edition carries over all equipment that’s already offered on the former. This includes a panoramic sunroof, powered front seats with memory, three-zone climate control, ambient lighting, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 12.3-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit, parking aid plus and 8 airbags.

Under the hood, the Q5 Special Edition continues with the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that produces 249hp and 370Nm of torque. The engine is paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive system comes as a standard fit. The Q5 Special Edition also gets adaptive suspension and Audi Drive Select with six modes to choose from.
