Where is the battery of the Audi Q5 located?
2 Answers
The battery of the Audi Q5 is located in the trunk. Behind the spare tire and near the door, there is a protective panel. Removing this panel will reveal the battery. Taking the 2020 Audi Q5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753mm, width 1893mm, height 1659mm, wheelbase 290mm, minimum ground clearance 179mm, fuel tank capacity 73 liters, luggage compartment volume 550 liters, and body weight 1855kg. The 2020 Audi Q5 features a five-link independent suspension both in the front and rear. 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.
I've been driving an Audi Q5 for several years, and the battery is located in the trunk area, specifically in the rear cargo compartment. You can find it by lifting the right-side carpet or mat, usually near the spare tire. Audi designed it this way mainly to optimize weight distribution, improve the car's balance, and reduce the risk of damage in a collision. Checking the battery while parked is convenient, and you don’t have to worry about engine bay temperatures affecting it. However, when replacing it yourself, be careful not to scratch the interior—wearing gloves is recommended. Last time my battery aged and needed replacement, I almost had jump-starting issues, but luckily I had professional tools. Regularly testing the voltage, such as using a multimeter to check the normal value of 12.6V, can help prevent sudden failures. Overall, the location is discreet yet practical—don’t forget to ask the technician to inspect the connections during the six-month maintenance to ensure the entire electrical system stays healthy.
