Engine In an instant, power becomes passion.
Each new kilometre proves the performance of the Audi A5 Sportback and makes each drive an
exciting experience. The broad range of engines is powerful, torquey and efficient.
All the petrol engines use the FSI® technology which has seen several victories at Le Mans. One
example is the 2.0 TFSI quattro with an output of 155 kW and additional turbocharging for even
more agility. The four cylinders of the A5 Sportback accelerate it to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds
with an impressive 350 Nm of torque. The fuel quantity, injection pressure and timing are
perfectly coordinated to ensure that every drop of petrol is used efficiently.
The diesel engines also combine sportiness and efficiency. Thanks to TDI technology, they unite
high torque and low fuel consumption. To do this, they work with the latest generation of the
common rail system for impressive engine power even at low speeds.
This power is made perceptible by various transmission variants. The continuously variable multi-
tronic always uses the optimum speed range. The six-speed manual transmission provides short
shift travel for real driving pleasure. And the optional S tronic dual-clutch transmission permits
fast gear changing with almost no perceptible pause. In either case, they are efficient to drive:
the start-stop function of the 2.0 TDI and 2.0 TFSI with manual transmission, and the efficiency
program of its trip computer ensure excellent use of fuel.
The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found from page 56 onwards.
The start-stop system contributes to the minimisation of fuel consumption. If, for example,
you change to neutral when waiting at a red light, the engine switches off, and back on again
when you press the clutch.
