The Audi engine range keeps expanding and after earlier today we told you about the new 2.0 TDIe unit prepared for the A4, it is time to let you know that Audi will provide new entry-level engines for two other models, namely the Q5 and A4 Allroad.

For the Q5, the new engines are the 2.0 TDI and the 2.0l TFSI, both available in conjunction with the 6-speed manual transmission. The diesel version of the 2.0l unit is also available for the A4 allroad.

The 2.0l TDI with common rail high-pressure injection develops 143 hp and will become, as we said, the entry level engine for the Q5 and A4 Allroad. The maximum torque of 320 Nm in this engine comes in between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm.

The supercharged 2.0l TFSI develops the same amount of torque as its diesel variant, all the way through 1,500 to 3,900 rpm. The 2.0 TFSI accelerates the Audi Q5 from zero to 100 km/h in just 8.5 seconds. Its average fuel consumption is 8.4l per 100 km (28.0 US mpg).
