Audi has ditched a low-output Q5 for 2026, meaning the entry-level model now features a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder developing 268 hp, a 7-hp bump over the outgoing 45 TFSI powertrain. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard. Acceleration from 0-60 mph should take around 5.5 seconds.
