What brand of transmission is used in the Audi Q5?
2 Answers
Audi Q5 is equipped with an Stronic transmission. Transmissions are divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. Taking the 2018 Audi Q5 as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The body dimensions are: length 4629mm, width 1898mm, height 1655mm, wheelbase 2807mm, minimum ground clearance 185mm, fuel tank capacity 75L, luggage compartment capacity 540L, and body weight 1900kg.
As someone particularly interested in automotive technology, I know that the main transmission brand for the Audi Q5 is ZF (ZF Friedrichshafen). Specifically, many new Audi Q5 models are equipped with ZF's 8-speed automatic transmission, which is designed to be advanced, with smooth shifting and high fuel efficiency. Since 2017, this transmission has become the mainstream, far more stable than the earlier multitronic CVT. ZF is a major German brand, excelling in smoothness and reliability, and it performs effortlessly even during off-road driving. Of course, depending on the configuration and model year, some variants may use other suppliers, but generally speaking, ZF is the standard for the Audi Q5. If you're considering buying one, I recommend checking the model year and configuration to ensure the transmission matches your driving habits.
