2 Answers
Audi Q5L body weight is 1855kg. Taking the 2020 Audi Q5L as an example, it belongs to the medium-sized SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4753mm, width 1893mm, height 1659mm, wheelbase 2908mm, and fuel tank capacity 73l. The 2020 Audi Q5L features a front suspension with a five-link independent suspension and a rear suspension with a five-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0l turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 190ps, maximum power of 140kw, and maximum torque of 320nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
When driving the Audi Q5L, I can feel its substantial weight, with a curb weight ranging approximately between 1,880 to 1,950 kilograms, depending on the version. For instance, the 45 TFSI quattro is slightly lighter, while the 40 TFSI front-wheel drive is a bit heavier. This weight primarily comes from robust materials like the mixed design of steel and aluminum components, as Audi has put considerable effort into lightweight construction. A heavier car feels more stable at high speeds, reducing the tendency to drift, but maneuvering and parking in urban areas might be more challenging, and fuel consumption is slightly higher—around 0.5 liters more per 100 kilometers. I’ve also noticed that compared to its peers, such as the BMW X3 or Mercedes-Benz GLC, the Q5L’s weight is similar, but with the quattro system, the handling feels well-balanced. For daily maintenance, it’s advisable to frequently check tire pressure and suspension components, as the heavier weight can accelerate wear—regular professional inspections can extend their lifespan. In summary, understanding the impact of weight is crucial for both car selection and maintenance; don’t just focus on aesthetics while overlooking these intrinsic factors.
