PERFORMANCE
Audi engineering is built on a heritage of motorsport inspiration. The Q5 continues that tradition with a mechanical design that commands the road with authority. You’ll enjoy strength and efficiency in equal measure.
Capability
An SUV’s strength comes from under the hood, and the Q5 has a legacy of power behind it. Its two powertrains are each poised to dominate the highway with stunning performance. Either configuration will make your time on the road more thrilling than ever.
Horsepower | Engine Design | Torque |
|---|---|---|
| 201 HP | 40 TFSI® | 236 lb-ft |
| 261 HP | 45 TFSI® | 273 lb-ft |
Engineering excellence in the Q5 extends beyond its engine. Thanks to the 7-speed S tronic® transmission system with quick gear shifts, you'll enjoy seamless acceleration. The standard quattro® all-wheel drive system provides superior grip and traction for more confident drives.
Fuel Economy
Performance is often measured by efficiency along with power. All drivers can agree that improved fuel economy is a benefit you can enjoy every day. When your vehicle’s engine makes the most of its fuel tank, you’ll save time and money at the pump throughout your travels.
When properly equipped, the Q5 achieves an estimated 10.1 city/8 highway L/100km*. You can enjoy the thrill of motorsport-level power while confidently leaving the fuel station in the rearview mirror. You and your passengers can keep moving forward with peace of mind.
STYLE
Part of what makes a luxury SUV special is its exquisite design and lush elements. The Audi Q7 is designed for the discerning driver with its appealing angles, supple seats, and many personalization options. This design satisfies both form and function to create the total package.
Exterior
Visual appeal is key to making a favorable first impression. When your Q5 comes into view, passersby will know you’re in command of a premium machine that demands attention.

- Atlas Beige
- Black-Rock Grey
