The other will generate an output of 177 hp and 380nm torque while consuming 6 l/100km.
Audi Q5's topline diesel will be a 3.0 litre V6 engine which will deliver 245 hp and 580nm torque and is mated to a seven-speed Stronic and quattro drive system which will accelerate the Q5 from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 6.5 seconds and claims to offer a top speed of 225 km/h.

Mated to a eight-speed tiptronic transmission, both can jointly generate 245 hp and 480nm torque and facilitate the hybrid to sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 7.1 seconds with a top speed of 225 km/h.
