Audi Australia is preparing to revolutionize its offering with over 20 vehicle launches planned for 2025. This ambitious strategy includes significant updates across both electric and combustion-powered models, promising enhanced technologies, improved efficiency, and refreshed designs.
A Wave of Innovation and Transformation
Product managers Peter Strudwicke and Esther Choi highlighted a “transformative” year ahead, with Audi leveraging cutting-edge platforms like the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) and Premium Platform Combustion (PPC).
The Q6 e-tron, debuting on the PPE platform, and the A5, premiering on the PPC architecture, represent Audi’s dual focus on sustainability and performance.
Compact Models: A Farewell and a Future
A1
As the A1 heads into its final generation, 2025 brings notable enhancements, including an updated powertrain with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, a modest power increase to 152kW, and improved fuel efficiency. Safety remains a priority with features like adaptive cruise control and lane assist.
Q2
The Q2’s 2025 update focuses on technology, introducing an upgraded 8.8-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation and Audi Connect services, making it a compelling choice in the compact SUV segment.
Evolving the Classics: A3, S3, and RS3
The A3 facelift sets a new standard with a refreshed design and the highest equipment level to date. Performance variants S3 and RS3 receive power boosts and advanced driving dynamics, ensuring they remain top contenders in their categories.
Electric SUVs Take Center Stage
Q4 e-tron
Audi’s all-electric Q4 e-tron arrives with a revamped battery offering faster charging (up to 175kW) and competitive range figures. Available in SUV and Sportback forms, it starts at $84,900 AUD.
Q6 e-tron
As Audi’s first model on the PPE platform, the Q6 e-tron introduces state-of-the-art features, including a dedicated passenger touchscreen and customizable matrix LED headlights. The lineup includes rear-wheel-drive and quattro variants, ensuring diverse appeal.
Luxury and Power Redefined: A5, Q5, and More
A5 and S5
Replacing the A4 and its variants, the new A5 series combines sleek liftback and wagon designs with Audi’s latest infotainment innovations. The S5 delivers exhilarating performance, boasting 270kW of power and a 4.5-second sprint to 100km/h.
Q5 and SQ5
Launching later in 2025, the Q5 introduces Audi’s mild-hybrid plus engines and innovative lighting. Meanwhile, the SQ5 Dynamic Black Edition adds exclusive styling and interior upgrades, maintaining its reputation as a high-performance SUV.
Flagship Models Lead the Way

Set to be Audi’s most aerodynamic model, the A6 e-tron promises a range exceeding 700km, underpinned by 800V architecture for ultra-fast charging. Sportback and Avant options ensure practicality meets sophistication.
e-tron GT
The RS e-tron GT Performance debuts as Audi’s most powerful electric car ever, delivering 680kW and 1027Nm for a jaw-dropping 0-100km/h time of 2.5 seconds. Enhanced range and advanced suspension systems underline its engineering prowess.
A Focused Strategy for 2025
