Audi continues to improve the robust turbocharged 2.0L engine to make it significantly more powerful, now producing 261 horsepower in the Q5 45 and 201 horsepower in the 40. That is enough to compete on nearly equal footing with most of the 6-cylinder engines offered in this class while still maintaining decent fuel economy. Of course, some people just like the more refined power delivery that comes with those extra cylinders, so Audi also offers the SQ5 with a 3.0L Turbocharged V6, which makes 349 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid system combines an electric motor with the 2L four-cylinder engine which combined boost horsepower to 362-horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This model gets the S-line trim package standard, as well as other unique optional packages.
