The interior of the Audi Q5 has been tweaked for the 2021 model year to include a larger touchscreen, a tweaked centre console with extra storage and a wireless phone charger, and different highlight trim options. Otherwise the Q5 remains largely the same as the pre-facelift model launched in 2017, missing out on the more comprehensive design overhaul seen in cars like the Q3, Q8, and A1.

As standard all Q5s now score a 10.1-inch multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto connectivity. All grades also offer an adjustable wireless phone charging bay. Audi's signature 'Virtual Cockpit' instrument cluster is also standard, as is electrical adjustment for the front seats and three-zone climate control. Standard wheels have been upgraded from 18-inch to 19-inch, and the base car has had plastic cladding removed in favour of a full-paint finish.

The Audi Q5 has five seats, and are clad in upgraded 'leather appointed' trim across the range. Front seats are electrically adjustable as standard, while the rear seats can be upgraded via a comfort pack to ride on rails and offer further back angle adjustment.

The Q5 scores tweaked engines accross its range now with mild hybrid systems and upgraded 0-100km/h sprint times. The entry-level diesel 2.0-litre 40 TDI will allow a 0-100km/h sprint time of 7.6 seconds, the petrol 2.0-litre 45 TFSI provides a sprint time of  6.3 seconds, while the top-spec 3.0-litre turbo diesel V6 50 TDI allows a 0-100km/h sprint time of just 5.7 seconds
