2024 Audi Q5 Engine Specs
Potent, fun, and efficient, the 2024 Audi Q5 engine lineup has something for everyone. Go with the standard 40 TFSI® four-cylinder engine and make your next road trip a success with 29 highway MPG. The 45 TFSI® four-cylinder engine ups the ante with 261 horsepower and a 5.7-second 0 to 60 MPH time.
For the highest power output available in the Q5, turn to the 55 TFSI®. This plug-in hybrid powertrain blends a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 17.9-kilowatt-hour battery and electric motor to make its presence known.

All three engines are 16-valve dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) builds and include variable valve timing and the Audi valvelift system. Additionally, all three engines feature turbocharged induction for maximum power.
