This is how power accelerates.
Consider it the beating heart of your Audi Q5. Whether you choose the acclaimed turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI®
engine that delivers impressive torque and punchy off -the-line acceleration or the supercharged 3.0-liter TFSI
V6 engine that delivers potent performance due to the strong torque curve starting at low rpm, you get more
beats per minute. We call that a win-win.

Induction technology—TVS supercharger
Compressing the airfl ow to the engine allows
more air into the cylinder and, ultimately,
more power from each combustion cycle,
helping to improve the engine’s power-to-
displacement ratio.
More twist for power
Modern supercharger rotor-vanes have a
160° twisted shape for higher pressures and
improved effi ciency. And by using a four-vane
design instead of a three-vane design, ther-
mal effi ciency and air-handling characteristics
are improved without increasing the size of
the supercharger unit.
Eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission
As the perfect compromise between a dedicated manual
and an automatic gearbox, the eight-speed Tiptronic®
automatic transmission in the Audi Q5 off ers eight opti-
mized, carefully chosen gear ratios. Selected automati-
cally or via its console-mounted shifter or steering wheel
with available shift paddles, precise shifts are delivered
without sacrifi cing the smooth action of the Tiptronic®
automatic. A high fi nal drive ratio allows optimization of
lower gears, yet the transmission’s upper range empha-
sizes lower engine rpm—particularly at highway speeds.

With effi ciency comes great power.
Putting all the blame on your engine for poor acceleration is the easy way out. In many cases, the transmission is the
real culprit. The Audi Q5 helps eliminate the problem with a revolutionary transmission. By utilizing optimized gear
ratios, the eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission is capable of transferring power in the most responsive and
effi cient way possible, all while allowing the driver to command upshifts or downshifts through the available steering
wheel-mounted shift paddles. What you do with your newfound power is your choice.
Performance
The adage “good things
come in small packages”
has never been more true.
2.0 TFSI four-cylinder
This 2.0-liter turbocharged DOHC engine pro-
duces 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque,
and combines the valvelift system, FSI® direct
injection and turbocharging for great power
and overall performance.
Start-stop effi ciency system
As an intelligent vehicle system, this available
highly eff ective engine management program
can lower fuel consumption as well as CO
2
emissions by automatically shutting off your
engine while you wait at a red light or, perhaps,
during certain stop-and-go driving. Once you
are ready to resume, or if other critical vehicle
systems require it, the engine will restart
nearly instantaneously.

3.0 TFSI V6
The 272-horsepower 3.0-liter TFSI V6
engine is paired with FSI® direct injection
and a belt-driven supercharger that has
counter-rotating four-vane rotors that force
air through dual intercoolers at boosted
pressures. It is this combination of engi-
neering achievements that allows for nearly
instantaneous buildup of 295 lb-ft of torque
directly off idle engine speeds.
