Audi has launched its new second-generation, mid-size SUV, the Q5, in India with two variants – the base 35 TDI Premium Plus and the top-spec 35 TDI Technology. Both variants are powered by the same 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, diesel engine that produces 190hp and 400Nm of peak torque. The motor is mated to a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic that sends power to all four wheels via Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive system. Five drive modes are offered, as standard on both trims – Comfort, Dynamic, Individual, Automatic and Off-road.
