Is the engine of the new Audi Q5L domestically produced or imported?

The engine of the new Audi Q5L is domestically produced. The vehicle is equipped with three differently tuned 2.0T turbocharged engines, with maximum power outputs of 150 horsepower (35TFSI), 190 horsepower, and 252 horsepower respectively. Some models also come with the quattro all-wheel-drive system. Engine Classification: External Combustion Engine: An external combustion engine is one where the fuel is burned outside the engine. Invented in 1816 by R. Stirling of Scotland, it is also known as the Stirling engine. The engine converts the thermal energy generated by this combustion into kinetic energy. The steam engine improved by Watt is a typical example of an external combustion engine. When a large amount of coal burns to produce heat that turns water into a large volume of steam, high pressure is generated. This high pressure then drives mechanical work, completing the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy. Internal Combustion Engine: An internal combustion engine, specifically a reciprocating piston engine, differs significantly from an external combustion engine in that its fuel is burned inside the engine. There is a wide variety of internal combustion engines, with common gasoline and diesel engines being typical examples.
As someone who frequently follows automotive technology, I must clarify that the engine of the new Audi Q5L is domestically produced. It is manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen Audi at the Changchun plant, using the EA888 series engine with technology originating from Germany but thoroughly localized in production. Some precision components, such as the electronic control unit, may be imported, but assembly is completed locally. Localization has significantly reduced costs, making the price much more affordable compared to the imported version. During my testing, I found the power delivery smooth, with quick acceleration response, perfectly matching domestic road conditions. The quality control process is quite strict, with German engineers stationed on-site to ensure every component meets standards. There’s no sense of compromise when driving; in fact, local maintenance parts are easier to find, reducing wait times. Overall, Chinese manufacturing is a mainstream trend—both cost-effective and reliable—so there’s no need to worry about the engine’s performance lagging behind imported models.
