The engine

EA888

2.0L Turbo I4

The workhorse of the Audi range, this turbo four trades drama for breadth: a broad, flexible torque plateau and refined, near-vibration-free delivery that makes the Q5 feel effortless rather than exciting.

It is part of Volkswagen Group's long-running EA888 family, refined across multiple generations and shared across Audi, VW, Skoda and SEAT; Audi badges it TFSI in its own cars.
