While the new Audi Q5 showcases a spacious, high-end cabin and a myriad of innovative tech features, these aren't the only appeals to this exciting new Audi SUV. You'll also find that this new model performs at high levels, which will make any routine drive or errand runs much more enjoyable. That's why our team at Audi South Austin is anxious to tell you more about the potent engine options and athletic driving dynamics this vehicle delivers.

Powerful Engines

There are three engine options for the new Audi Q5, and there isn't a bad choice. The base model comes equipped with a lively 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The next option is the available plug-in hybrid setup that uses the same 2.0-liter turbo-four combined with an electric motor, which drastically increases efficiency and ups horsepower to 362.

If you'd like more horsepower than the base engine but want to stick with a gasoline engine, the Audi SQ5 models come with a twin-turbo V6 that pushes out an astounding 349 horsepower. No matter which powertrain you choose, you'll love how quick and powerful the new Audi Q5 is.

Composed and Sporty Handling

Not only is the new Audi Q5 a powerhouse, but it also feels athletic and balanced. The precise steering and sturdy braking power will make you feel in control when on the road. And the standard air suspension system soaks up road imperfections, continually keeping the ride smooth. Plus, this SUV comes standard with all-wheel drive so that you can set out for a drive in any weather conditions with confidence.
