Audi Q5 2008-2017 Specifications

The 2008-2017 Audi Q5 offers several engine options, including a 2.0L TFSI inline-4 (211 HP, 258 lb-ft), a 3.0L TFSI V6 (272 HP, 295 lb-ft), and a 3.0L TDI V6 diesel (240 HP, 428 lb-ft). The 2.0L TFSI provides a balance of efficiency and performance, while the 3.0L TFSI delivers higher power and acceleration. The 3.0L TDI offers excellent torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for long-distance driving.

The Audi Q5 is equipped with either a 6-speed manual, 8-speed Tiptronic automatic, or a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission. The 8-speed Tiptronic offers smooth and responsive shifts, while the S tronic provides faster gear changes for enhanced performance.

Standard safety features include ABS, electronic stability control, multiple airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, lane assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a surround-view camera system for enhanced visibility.

The 2.0L TFSI achieves an EPA-estimated 20 MPG city and 27 MPG highway, while the 3.0L TDI offers 24 MPG city and 31 MPG highway. These figures are competitive with similar vehicles like the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK.

Audi recommends an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Other routine maintenance includes tire rotation, brake inspection, and fluid checks at regular intervals.

Standard features include leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and a premium sound system. Optional upgrades include adaptive air suspension, a Bang & Olufsen audio system, and a navigation system with MMI touch.

The Q5 offers 29.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 57.3 cubic feet with the seats folded. This is comparable to the BMW X3 and slightly larger than the Mercedes-Benz GLK.

The Q5 has a maximum towing capacity of 4,400 lbs when properly equipped. Payload capacity varies by trim but generally ranges from 1,100 to 1,300 lbs.
