The injectors open and close in
fractions of a millisecond and inject
fuel several times into the combustion
chamber at pressures of up to
1,800 bar. In some cases, an injection
process can involve the injection of the
tiniest of amounts weighing less than
a thousandth of a gramme.

Pre-injection results in a “gentle”
combustion process and
consequently excellent combustion
acoustics and agreeable engine
running characteristics.
One in every two Audi cars sold today is a diesel.
What sounds perfectly normal now was cause for
huge excitement 20 years ago, when Audi
revolutionised the market with the first 2.5 litre
TDI engine. Since then, developments such as
common rail technology have made TDI even
more efficient. Injectors ensure the fuel is finely
and precisely distributed. Consequently, since the
first TDI, the engines have become more
economical, whilst specific output has increased.
So it was only logical that a diesel car should then
enter the world of motorsport. And successfully
too: in 2006, Audi was the first car maker to win
the Le Mans 24 Hours with a diesel-powered race
car, the Audi R10 TDI – a victory which it has
repeated several times over, most recently in
2012.
Whether they have 105 or 130 kW of power –
the 2.0 TDI engines in the Audi Q5 are convincing
from the very first metres. The 2.0 TDI quattro
S tronic engine with 130 kW reaches its
maximum torque of 380 Nm at just 1,750 rpm
and develops its power thrillingly evenly. You
reach 100 km/h in 9.0 seconds. In addition
to the standard catalytic converter and diesel
particulate filter, the Audi Q5 2.0 TDI quattro
S tronic is equipped with a nitrogen oxide
catalytic converter (DeNOx catalytic converter)
with AdBlue®* tank. Combined with other
innovations and highly efficient recirculation, this
achieves a substantial reduction of the nitrogen
oxide emissions.
The most powerful diesel engine in the Audi Q5
is a 3.0 TDI engine with 180 kW and 580 Nm,
which accelerates your car from 0 to 100km/h
in only 6.5 seconds. But even if you’re not in the
process of overtaking, you can fully enjoy the
superb driving feeling: sporty and demanding –
yet at the same time relaxing and efficient,
because the start-stop system and recuperation
are standard in all models with a TDI engine.
