Powertrains and Performance

The new Q5 comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine known as 45 TFSI. Audi pairs this engine with the renowned Quattro all-wheel-drive system and 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission producing 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. This output surpasses what most competitors offer, and it's enough to get you going fast, whether accelerating around Redwood City freeways or pulling away from a stop.

However, if you need more driving power, choose one of the other available powertrains. First, you can select a plug-in-hybrid that pairs the base engine with an electric motor to deliver an incredible 362 horsepower. This powertrain offers you instant torque for quicker acceleration than what you get from the standard engine. Else, you can opt for a V6 engine that delivers 349 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.

Safety and Driver-Assist Features

Although the IIHS has yet to perform tests on the new Audi Q5, the vehicle received a five-star safety rating from the NTHSA, making Q5 one of the safest SUVs for driving around Burlingame. Overall, it will undoubtedly impress you with its wide variety of active and passive safety features. A list of notable safety features equipped to this SUV includes lane departure warning, automated emergency braking, tire pressure monitoring system, Audi parking system plus with front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, ABS, and driveline traction control, forward-collision warning, and electronic stability control.
