The Audi Q5 Sportback - The engine range at launch - two TDIs and one TFSI

The Audi Q5 Sportback is launching in Europe with three engine options - two TDIs and one TFSI. Their power range is 150 kW (204 hp) to 210 kW (286 hp). All engines fall below the limits of the new Euro 6d ISC-FCM AP emissions standard, which in particular severely limits nitrogen oxide emissions in road tests. A 2.0 TDI powers the Q5 Sportback 40 TDI quattro. It delivers 150 kW (204 hp) and 400 Nm of torque. It accelerates the CUV from zero to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 222 km/h. A 12-volt mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) system boosts efficiency. Its belt starter generator (RSG) can recover energy during deceleration and store it in a compact lithium-ion battery. In addition, the MHEV system allows sailing with the engine off and lets the start-stop range begin at speeds as low as 22 km/h. A second power variant of the 2.0 TDI will follow after market launch. Power transmission for the four-cylinder diesel is a seven-speed S tronic and the efficient quattro drive with ultra technology. In normal driving, it sends torque exclusively to the front wheels. As soon as all-wheel drive is needed, two clutches engage the rear axle at lightning speed, in many situations even predictively.
