Behind The Power: 2025 Audi Q5 Engine Specs And Performance

The Backbone: Audi Q5 Engine Specs and Drivetrain Options

The Audi Q5 specs rely on what’s under the skin and under the hood. We’ll start with the latter, where you can put one of three Audi Q5 engine options:

  • Audi Q5 40 TFSI: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 201 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque

  • Audi Q5 45 TFSI: an enhanced version of the previous 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque

  • Audi Q5 55 TFSI: a plug-in hybrid option that combines the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to make 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque

The 55 TFSI option makes it possible to tap into all-electric Audi Q5 performance thanks to its plug-in hybrid system. It also provides the highest Audi Q5 torque output. So, if you’re searching online for “Audi Q5 horsepower and torque” and wondering about your options, you’ll find that you have three thrilling power levels to choose from.

Regardless of which powertrain you pick, though, the 2025 Audi Q5 specs will be harnessed by a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission – think of it like a speed boost for gear-shifting. The two clutches make every shift a rapid-fire affair, letting that power get to work with minimal downtime between gears.

It’ll also get to work on all four wheels: Every 2025 Audi Q5 has quattro® all-wheel drive as standard, intelligently managing how much power goes where per current conditions. The Audi Q5 length and width create a spacious cabin where five occupants can enjoy the exciting performance.
