Engine Displacement: 1,984 cc
The Audi Q5 is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder TFSI turbocharged petrol engine. For the 2026 model year in the Indian market, this engine is integrated with a 12V Mild-Hybrid (MHEV) system. This setup enhances efficiency by allowing the engine to coast at speeds between 55 and 160 km/h and ensures a smoother, faster operation of the start-stop system, which is particularly beneficial for urban traffic conditions in cities like Delhi or Mumbai.
Max Power: 245.59 bhp @ 5,250–6,500 rpm
In its current "45 TFSI" state of tune, the Q5 produces a peak power of 245.59 bhp (rounded to 249 PS in some technical brochures). This power level provides a perfect middle ground within the Audi SUV range, offering more urgency than the Q3 while maintaining better fuel economy than the larger V6-powered Q7.
Max Torque: 370 Nm @ 1,600–4,300 rpm
The Q5 delivers 370 Nm of torque starting from just 1,600 rpm. This wide torque plateau ensures that the vehicle has plenty of pulling power for highway overtakes and uphill climbs, even when fully loaded with five passengers and luggage.
0-100 km/h: 6.3 Seconds
The Q5 manages a 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.3 seconds. This brisk acceleration is aided by the Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which ensures maximum traction from a standstill, and the rapid shifting of the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
