The Audi Q5, the Audi SUV of the mid-class segment, combines sportiness with a variable interior for many different uses, and it offers many practical solutions for recreational and everyday use.

Audi Q5 Body and interior

Coupe-like proportions characterize the appearance of the Audi Q5. The tailgate, made of aluminum, wraps around the body, and the roof line curves in a low arch. Optional front seat climate-control functions are offered. The 540-liter (19.1 cu ft) cargo area can be expanded to 1,560 liters (55.1 cu ft) by folding down the seats.

Audi Q5 Drive system

The two TFSI and four TDI engines in the lineup are turbocharged units with direct injection and high torque.

Audi Q5 Engine lineup

  • 2.0 TFSI quattro with 132 kW (180 hp)
  • 2.0 TFSI quattro with 169 kW (230 hp)
  • 2.0 TDI ultra and 2.0 TDI quattro with 110 kW (150 hp)
  • 2.0 TDI quattro with 120 kW (163 hp)
  • 2.0 TDI and 2.0 TDI quattro with 140 kW (190 hp)
  • 3.0 TDI quattro with 190 kW (258 hp)

Combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 7.5 – 4.9 (31.4 – 48.0 US mpg);
Combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 172 – 129 (276.8 – 207.6 g/mi)
(Figures vary depending on engine/transmission/wheels/tires)

Each version of the Q5 comes off the assembly line with a transmission customized for it – manual, seven-speed S tronic or eight-speed tiptronic. The entry-level diesel has standard front-wheel drive, and the 2.0 TDI 140 kW (190 hp) also has a version with front-wheel drive. quattro permanent all-wheel drive is standard equipment for all other engines.

Audi Q5 Chassis

The chassis of the Audi Q5 is finely tuned, and the electromechanical power steering works with extreme efficiency. The driver can use the optional Audi drive select system to vary the engine’s throttle response, steering characteristic and shift points of the automatic transmission. Two components that can be paired with this system are adaptive damper control and dynamic steering. The Q5 also does well on rough terrain: Stabilization Control (ESC) and the ABS system offer an offroad mode.

Audi Q5 Equipment and trim

The optional assistance package includes adaptive cruise control, Audi side assist and parking system plus. Topping the infotainment range are the Bang & Olufsen Sound System and MMI navigation plus. The infotainment module Audi connect with car phone is the perfect complement.

The equipment, data and prices specified in this document refer to the model range offered in Germany. Subject to change without notice; errors and omissions excepted.
