Under the hood, the core Q5 is powered by a refined 2.0L TFSI engine producing 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, a healthy boost over the previous model. This setup, paired with a lightning-quick seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission, launches the SUV from 0–100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. For those craving more adrenaline, the SQ5 steps up with a 3.0-litre V6 producing 362 horsepower, cutting that sprint down to 4.8 seconds. Of course, legendary quattro all-wheel drive is standard, providing the mechanical grip Ontario drivers need for unpredictable winter conditions.
