This is how power accelerates.
Consider it the beating heart of your Audi Q5. Whether you choose the acclaimed 2.0 TFSI® engine that
delivers impressive torque and punchy o-the-line acceleration while still returning excellent fuel economy
or the supercharged 3.0 TFSI engine that delivers the potent performance of a traditional V8 with the thirst
of a V6, you can count on improved miles per gallon
1
and more beats per minute. We call that a win-win.

Induction technology—TVS supercharger
Compressing the airflow to the engine forces
more air into the cylinder and, ultimately,
more power from each ignition, significantly
improving the engine’s power-to-displace-
ment ratio.
More twist for power
Modern supercharger rotor-vanes have a
160° twisted shape for higher pressures and
improved eciency. And by using a four-vane
design instead of a three-vane design, ther-
mal e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 oers eight opti-
mized, carefully chosen gear ratios. Selected automatically
or via its console-mounted shifter or steering wheel with
available shift paddles, precise shifts are delivered without
sacrificing the smooth action of the Tiptronic® automatic.
A high final drive ratio allows optimization of lower gears,
yet the transmission’s upper range emphasizes fuel
economy—particularly at highway speeds.

With e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 eliminates the problem with a revolutionary trans-
mission. By utilizing optimized gear ratios, the eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission is
capable of transferring power in the most responsive and e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
produces 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of
torque, and combines the valvelift system,
Audi FSI® direct injection and turbocharging
for great power and overall eciency.

Start-stop eciency system
As an intelligent vehicle system, this highly eec-
tive engine management program can lower fuel
consumption as well as CO
2
emissions by auto-
matically shutting o 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, rotors that then force air
through dual intercoolers at boosted pressures
of up to 11.6 psi. It is this combination of en-
gineering achievements that allows for nearly
instantaneous buildup of 295 lb-ft of torque
directly o idle engine speeds.
