At the leading edge of the variety is the Audi SQ5 Sportback TDI. Its cultivated 3-liter diesel engine produces an output of 251 kW (341 PS), the effective torque of seven hundred Nm (516.three lb-ft) is continuously to be had from 1,750 rpm to three,250 rpm. An actuator withinside the exhaust device lends the sound tone and richness. Performance: zero to one hundred km/h (62.1 mph) in 5.1 seconds, pinnacle velocity of 250 km/h (155.three mph) (electronically limited).
The three.zero TDI has been made even higher in lots of info. The pistons had been modified from aluminum to cast steel. This new fabric reduces warmness losses and due to its energy does now no longer incur any weight penalty as compared with aluminum pistons The solenoid valve injectors are capable of inject the gasoline with a continuously excessive degree of precision due to the fact a brand new piezoelectric sensor video display units the final of the needle. It can carry out up to 8 person injections consistent with paintings cycle and additionally meter minimum gasoline portions with excessive precision.
A small, mild compressor wheel rotates withinside the turbocharger of the V6 diesel engine, getting on top of things mainly quick - an vital component for the spontaneous and effective improvement of torque. The intercooler now runs through a brand new, oblique water-air cooler withinside the interior V of the engine. The short build-up of the improve strain advantages from the quick consumption air routes.
MHEV and EPC: even greater performance and spontaneity
The three.zero TDI brings with it technology that lessen gasoline intake and beautify spontaneity. The forty eight V slight hybrid device (MHEV) recovers up to eight kW of strength whilst decelerating. With the energy from the lithium-ion battery, the CUV can coast for as much as forty seconds with the engine off, and then the belt-pushed starter-alternator readily restarts the engine. Another constructing block withinside the forty eight V community is the electrical powered compressor (EPC). When transferring off and accelerating from low rotational speeds, it hastens the build-up of the improve strain and guarantees that the three.zero TDI responds spontaneously.
Two SCR catalytic converters: exhaust fueloline aftertreatment
As in all TDI engines, Audi employs the dual dosing era with SCR catalytic converters withinside the Q5 Sportback for the aftertreatment of the exhaust fueloline. The first of those catalytic converters lies immediately at the back of the manifold withinside the exhaust line and serves as a particulate clear out out on the identical time; the second one is positioned farfar from the engine beneathneath the car floor. With the 2 catalytic converters, special working conditions and a extensive temperature window for the exhaust fueloline may be covered. Thanks to the dual dosing era, the SQ5 Sportback TDI additionally is available in properly under the boundaries set via way of means of the brand new Euro 6d ISC-FCM emission widespread.
Changing gears quick and smoothly: the eight-velocity tiptronic
As with the three.zero TDI model of the Q5 Sportback, a quick and smooth-moving eight-velocity tiptronic handles the strength transmission withinside the S model. The quattro everlasting all-wheel pressure transfers the torque variably as had to the the front and rear axles. On request, Audi can complement this with the game differential, which actively adjusts the distribution of the torque among the rear wheels whilst using in a sporty style, directing greater torque to the out of doors wheel that has higher grip - making the car even greater agile whilst cornering at velocity. The out of doors rear wheel is likewise given greater torque whilst accelerating out of tight radii with the intention to similarly growth the dynamism.
Supreme precision: the suspension
The suspension of the Audi SQ5 Sportback TDI is capable of deal with the overall performance of the effective diesel pressure with ultimate ease. Five-hyperlink suspensions direct every of the 4 wheels. 20-inch wheels with 255/forty five tires are widespread, however 21-inch wheels from Audi or Audi Sport GmbH are to be had as an alternative. Six-piston brake calipers made from aluminum and brake disks with a diameter of 375 mm (14.eight in) are set up at the the front axle. The S recreation suspension with damper manage lowers the frame via way of means of 30 mm (1.2 in) as compared with the Q5 Sportback and gives an mainly extensive unfold among consolation and dynamism.
Along with the elective recreation differential, engine, steerage and the automated transmission, the managed dampers are incorporated withinside the widespread Audi pressure pick dynamic dealing with device, which permits the motive force to control the person of those structures through six profiles. A 7th profile (allroad) is delivered if the adaptive air suspension with S-unique tuning is on board - the air suspension adapts the frame's experience peak to the using scenario on the time. Dynamic steerage is every other elective module.
New highlights: outdoors and indoors design
Distinctive info assist the Audi SQ5 Sportback TDI depart a good greater effective impression. Vertical brackets provide shape to the massive aspect air inlets at the the front bumper. Filigree bars join massive octagonal honeycombs with every different withinside the octagonal Singleframe grille. Audi LED headlights are set up as widespread, Matrix LED headlight with automated excessive beam and dynamic flip alerts are to be had as an option. The rear bumper integrates a bracket in matte aluminum, beneathneath which the diffuser insert and 4 chrome-plated oval tailpipe trims may be found. The new virtual OLED era may be selected for the rear lights.
The indoors of the Audi SQ5 Sportback TDI is designed in black or darkish grey colors, the illuminated aluminum door sill trims are embellished with S logos. There is a preference of 3 upholstery alternatives for the electrically adjustable recreation seats with the embossed S logos. Contrasting sewing ornaments the seats and the steerage wheel; a rubdown characteristic and seat air flow are to be had on request. Brushed aluminum is widespread for the inlays, the options are carbon designs and a piano finish.
Market launch: first 1/2 of of 2021
The Q5 Sportback and the SQ5 Sportback TDI roll off the meeting line on the San José Chiapa plant in Mexico. They may be ordered now and can be released on global markets withinside the first 1/2 of of 2021. For the Chinese market, the CUV can be constructed in CKD manufacturing on the Changchun plant.
