Audi Q5L uses the third-generation EA888 2.0T engine. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. It can refer to both the power generation device and the entire machine including the power unit. Types of engines include internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, gas turbines, and electric motors. Here is more information about the Audi Q5L: 1. Body dimensions: The Audi Q5L measures 4753mm in length, 1893mm in width, and 1659mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2908mm. 2. Transmission: It is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a top speed of 210 km/h, and the body type is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV.

My previous Audi Q5L was the 45 TFSI version, equipped with a high-power 2.0T engine that delivered impressive performance. With 252 horsepower, overtaking on the highway was effortless, and the immediate kick-down acceleration provided strong push-back force without any hesitation. For daily city commuting, fuel consumption was around 10L/100km, dropping to just over 9L/100km after the break-in period—about half a liter more efficient than my friend's Mercedes GLC. This third-generation EA888 engine improved the piston ring design, and after driving it for over two years, I never encountered oil burning issues. The cold start sound was crisp, unlike some Japanese cars that feel plasticky. If you're considering buying one, I’d recommend going straight for the high-power version—it costs a bit more, but the acceleration experience is worlds apart.

After comparing the SUVs from the three leading German brands, I found the Audi Q5L's 2.0T engine particularly emphasizes balance. The 40 TFSI version with 190 horsepower is just right for family use, while the 45 TFSI's 252 horsepower offers a sportier feel. The key is that with the implementation of the B-cycle technology, the mid-range torque is exceptionally abundant, reaching maximum torque at just 2000 rpm. I specifically tested the 0-100 acceleration, and the high-power version completed it in 6.8 seconds, half a second faster than the BMW X3. The new model also incorporates a 12V mild hybrid system, significantly reducing start-stop vibrations and making automatic engine shutdowns smoother in traffic jams. The paired DL382 transmission shifts almost seamlessly, much smoother than the older dual-clutch models.

My friend recently picked up a Q5L 40 TFSI, and the low-power 2.0T engine is more than sufficient. With 190 horsepower, daily overtaking is effortless, and the fuel consumption is impressively low—he gets just 9.3L/100km in city driving. The current-generation EA888 engine has an optimized thermal management system, warming up quickly in winter, with coolant temperature rising in just two to three minutes. It's important to use only 508-certified 0W-20 oil for maintenance; although dealerships are pricier, they ensure long-term engine cleanliness. The turbo kicks in around 1600 RPM, and the engine note becomes quite robust at higher revs without being harsh. For urban commuting, the low-power version is highly recommended—it offers much better value for money.
