The Audi Q5 SUV* has been one of the most popular SUVs in the midsize-segment in Germany and Europe for more than 15 years. Audi is now presenting the latest generation of the bestseller: the Q5*, which is even more modern and dynamic. It is the first SUV based on the PPC and is powered by petrol and diesel engines that have become even more economical thanks to MHEV plus technology. The Q5* impresses with a modern infotainment system and operation concept, customizable digital light signatures and modern driver assistance systems. The sporty Audi SQ5* complements the new model series at its premiere. In the future, models with plug-in hybrid technology will expand the model family.
Ultra-modern combustion engines with MHEV plus
The new Audi Q5 SUV family is based on the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), a platform architecture for conventionally powered vehicles with longitudinally installed combustion engines. All models in the Q5 series at market launch are equipped with the highly efficient MHEV plus technology.
The new MHEV plus system with 48-volt electrical system supports the combustion engine, reduces CO2 emissions and at the same time increases performance and driving comfort. Purely electric maneuvering and parking are also possible to a limited extent. The powertrain generator generates an additional drive torque of up to 230 Newton meters and up to 18 kW (24 horsepower) of power. The 48-volt system also enables the use of an electrically driven air conditioning compressor. This offers the advantage that even when the engine is switched off – for example when coasting or at a red light – the air conditioning system continues to operate at full power and keeps the interior at a comfortable temperature.
The lithium-ion battery of the vehicles with MHEV plus is based on lithium iron phosphate chemistry (LFP) and has a storage capacity of 1.7 kilowatt hours. The main tasks of the belt starter generator are to start the engine and supply electrical energy to the battery.
The new powertrain generator (PTG) enables electric driving, relieves the combustion engine, and helps reduce fuel consumption. When decelerating, the powertrain generator (TSG) feeds up to 25 kW of energy back into the battery (recuperation). The PPC enables gradual electrification in the form of mild hybrids. Later in the lifecycle of the new Audi Q5*, plug-in hybrids with a large battery and external charging option will also follow.
Three engine versions at market launch
In Europe, the Audi Q5 SUV models will be launched with three engine versions, with further drive variants to follow. At market launch, all variants will be equipped with MHEV plus technology, which can provide up to 18 kW (24 PS) of additional power for short periods. All models use the 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission.
The entry-level engine is the 2.0 TFSI. It delivers 150 kW (204 PS) (fuel consumption (combined): 7.3–6.4 l/100 km (32.2–36.8 mpg) (provisional); CO2 emissions (combined): 165–146 g/km (265.5–235.0 g/mi) (provisional); CO2 class: F–E (provisional)), 340 Newton meters of maximum torque and is equipped with front-wheel drive. As an option quattro all-wheel drive is also available.
The Audi Q5 is available with the 2.0 TDI in the EA288 evo generation. It delivers 150 kW
(204 PS) (fuel consumption (combined): 6.6–5.9 l/100 km (35.6–39.9 mpg) (provisional); CO2 emissions (combined): 174–154 g/km (280.0–247.8 g/mi) (provisional); CO2 class: F–E (provisional)) and 400 Newton meters of torque and is only available with quattro all-wheel drive.
Audi is offering the Audi SQ5* as the top model in the series at market launch. The V6 TFSI with a displacement of three liters produces 270 kW (367 PS) (fuel consumption (combined): 8.6–8.0 l/100 (27.4–29.4 mpg) (provisional); CO2 emissions (combined): 196–182 g/km (315.4–292.9 g/mi) (provisional); CO2 class: G (provisional)😉 and has a maximum torque of 550 Newton meters.
