All-new high-torque 2.0 TFSI engine is a perfect fit for Audi A5

All-new high-torque 2.0 TFSI engine is a perfect fit for Audi A5

  • Latest Turbo FSI engine joins Audi coupé range and reiterates that fun and frugality are far from mutually exclusive
  • All-new Turbo FSI engine is based on 1.8 TFSI from new A4, but adds Audi valvelift technology for improved engine ‘breathing’ to maximize performance and efficiency
  • 211PS @ 4,300 to 6,000rpm, 350Nm @ 1,500-4,200rpm
  • A5 2.0 TFSI 0-62mph in 6.9 seconds, top speed 155mph, combined mpg 42.8, CO2 154g/km
A newly developed Turbo FSI petrol engine available from this week for the Audi A5 provides the sought-after coupe with yet another choice blend of pace and pence-per-mile efficiency. The new 211PS A5 2.0 TFSI can be ordered in either front-wheel-drive or quattro permanent all-wheel-drive forms, and will reach its first European customers in August.

The new high-tech 2.0-liter unit is derived from the already much praised 1.8 TFSI engine introduced recently in A3, A4 and A5 models, but takes its efficiency a step further still through the use of new Audi valvelift technology. By employing sliding cam units mounted on the intake camshaft that allow for more variation in the degree of valve lift, the engine is able to ‘breathe’ even more effectively, switching to a higher cam profile when strong acceleration is required, or a lower profile that requires less fuel and air compression when throttle usage is more relaxed.
