The transmission model of the Audi Q5L is not the DQ500; the Audi Q5L uses the DQ381 transmission. Vehicle Positioning: The first comprehensively upgraded long-wheelbase premium midsize SUV, the all-new Audi Q5L is the world's first long-wheelbase premium midsize SUV. Exterior Design: The front features sharp angles and a hexagonal grille, similar to the family Q7, with an overall style that has shifted from the rounded look of the previous Q5 to a more aggressive one. After lengthening, the body length and wheelbase have increased compared to the previous Q5. LED headlights (high-end models feature matrix LED headlights) and a "clamshell" tailgate (with a "Q5L" extended version badge in the lower left corner).
As a technical researcher, I often delve into transmission details. The Audi Q5L in the Chinese market is typically equipped with the DQ381 dual-clutch transmission, not the DQ500. The DQ500 is used in higher-performance models such as the Audi S Q5 or certain versions of the Q7, as it can handle greater torque. The DQ381 is optimized for front-wheel drive, with a maximum torque of 400 Newton-meters, matching the Q5L's 2.0T engine to provide smooth shifting and fuel efficiency. This choice is based on cost control and everyday driving needs. While dual-clutch transmissions are responsive, they require regular maintenance to prevent jerking. There may be variations depending on the model year or engine configuration—for example, some imported Q5L models after 2022 might be exceptions—but the standard versions mostly use the DQ381. Overall, transmission selection impacts the driving experience, and knowing the specific model can help you avoid unnecessary issues during maintenance.
