Audi A5 engine has punchy and bustling nature
There's a good selection of
Audi A5 engines available so Audi A5 performance certainly depends on the model. The doorway level for power generation presents the 1.8 TFSI which offers inspiring velocity allowing for its fairly small size - credit goes to the turbocharger. It conveys 170 bhp along with a benchmark 0-62 mph sprint time of 8.4 seconds and it is a delight to drive and has an enthusiastic personality. It does occasionally have to be struggled hard to get the best from it, but its a joyful tinker around town and brings back the average of 40mpg.
This
engine was only a deal for a very petite phase of time from end of 2007 until mid 2008 before being reinstated by a new powerful and more economical 2.0 litre TFSI which is all the more inspiring thanks to a 0-62mph time of 6.9 seconds and average fuel economy of 43mpg, a 180bhp edition of this engine is also existing, which even though to some extent a bit slower. It is available with an eight-speed Multitronic gearbox.
Few years ago, a start-stop system for Audi engines was added to this engine also. It cuts the engine when the car is inactive and out of gear and then automatically restarts it when requisite. This module helps to lower the emissions and boosted economy to 44mpg. The
A5 3.2 FSI V6 units with 265 bhp suits the A5 well, it's swift and has a good temperament, making it pleasant to use, in addition it sounds charming. The other petrol is the rumbling 4.2 litre V8 that comes in the S5 trims.
The diesel units are similarly as good, predominantly the 3.0 litres TDI that makes light work of motorways and returns the fuel economy of 39mpg and also has the capability to race from 0-62mph in just 5.9 seconds, swift enough to mortify ample of hot hatches. The other
Audi A5 diesel engine is a 2.7 TDI unit, it's only available with a seven speed automatic Multitronic transmission but still manages to be the largely cost-effective, averaging 44mpg and sprints from 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds.
