I'm experiencing this on a 2019 Q5. I feel a vibration in the engine and slightly through the steering wheel at parking lot cruising speeds all the way up to highway speeds. It happens when the engine is between 1250 - 1750 RPMs and accelerating. A similar 2018 Q5 I test drove last week did not do this.
I will try the different drive modes as others suggest to see if I can spot a difference.

I've been experiencing this problem too. Mostly present upon acceleration and deceleration while at highway speeds (65-75) on front right passenger side. Not sure if worn wheel bearing on passenger side or like previously mentioned out of balance CV axle in the front. Currently at 66k mi.

I tried the different drive modes and it makes no difference. The vibration persists.
My dealership has been awesome and they are helping diagnose the issue. They found a leaky engine mount, and this turned out to be a good candidate theory (search it up). Unfortunately, after replacing it, the vibration persists. Maybe there is another leaky engine mount.

Are there any new updates on this? Panamera and Cayenne have 60mph vibration and after much diagnosis it seems the leading candidate is the center wet multiplate torque coupling, aka quattro Ultra.

Thanks for sharing this.
On my end, we replaced a leaky engine mount but that did not fix the issue.
Vibrations are still noticeable at various drive speeds, when the engine is running between 1000 and 2000 RPMs and I apply light throttle.
There are no vibrations when the car is in neutral, which suggest (to me) that it is a an issue with the transmission.
Do you have any more insights into why this part is causing the vibrations and how to diagnose it? Is this a known issue? Any pointers to tech reports that I/we could take back to Audi?
