The Audi SQ5 is equipped with a turbocharged 3.0 TFSI petrol engine, in which a twin-scroll turbocharger has replaced the compressor. The power unit develops 354 hp. power and 500 Nm of torque and accelerates the car to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. The three-liter engine is combined with an 8-speed tiptronic automatic transmission and a proprietary quattro all-wheel drive system.
During dynamic cornering, the automation, if necessary, brakes the wheels located on the inner radius, thereby ensuring accurate following of the required trajectory. During quiet driving, the all-wheel drive system redistributes torque with a slight emphasis on the rear axle, but at any time traction can be transferred to the front wheels. A quattro sports differential is available as an option for the Audi SQ5, which, by distributing power between the rear wheels, optimizes handling even more effectively and prevents the risk of understeer.
