For power, the new 2021 Audi Q5 uses the 2.0L, 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine that also does duty in the A6. Though, the TFSI motor has been calibrated to deliver a maximum power of 249bhp and 370Nm of torque. Compared to the A6, the new Q5 is around 4bhp more powerful. The model can be had with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and Audi’s Quattro AWD (all-wheel drive) system. Check Out – Audi Q9 3-Row SUV Spied Showing Massive Body
Minimal changes have been made to its interior. The new Audi Q5 facelift gets a bigger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system instead of the old 8.3-inch unit. Called the Audi’s new MIB 3 (Modular Infotainment Toolkit), the system is claimed to be much faster than its previous generation.
Features such as Virtual cockpit plus, wireless charger, automatic climate control, a B&O premium D sound system, Audi’s park assist and new piano black inserts are exclusively offered on the Technology trim. The updated model offers protection of 8 airbags along with the ABS with EBD and traction control.
A few cosmetic upgrades make the new 2021 Audi Q5 look more refreshing than before. At the front end, the model carries a bigger and wider hexagonal grille with vertical chrome strips. The headlamps have also been revised with a new LED light signature. It also gets updated front bumper and side intakes.
The new Q5 has been assembled with larger 19-inch S-design alloy wheels. The rear section receives updated bumper and newly-designed LED taillamps, which are connected via a brushed aluminium strip.
