Audi Q5 Towing Capacity

The 2020 Audi Q5 offers the best of both worlds as a luxury SUV. It sports the distinct style you want but also some impressive capabilities. One such capability held by the Q5 is its ability to tow adventure-worthy amounts of trailer weight.

To introduce you to this impressive SUV, we at Audi West Palm Beach have put together this Audi Q5 towing capacity guide. Drivers in West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach can learn more about the SUV's impressive towing capabilities below!

Audi Q5 Towing & Hauling Capabilities

Audi is your go-to luxury brand when you're looking to step out on the town for a day of shopping or even a trip to the beach. However, if you are venturing farther afield, it's an ideal SUV for longer, more outdoorsy excursions.

When properly equipped, the 2020 Audi Q5 is capable of towing as much as 4,400 pounds. With this towing capacity, there's not a whole lot that you won't be able to hitch to the rear of your Q5 and when you head out on vacation.

• Bring the family camper or along for a weekend away (hard-side pop-ups are ideal).
• Hitch a flatbed trailer that you can load up with all your boxes for moving or materials for your next home improvement project.
• Pull your rowboat for a bit of fishing on the lake.

The Equipment that Makes It Possible

There are several parts of the Audi Q5 that come together to make its remarkable towing capabilities possible. For starters, this model is standardly equipped with a high-powered 2.0 TFSI® engine that produces an impressive 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque.

What makes TFSI® special?

TFSI®, which is a mainstay of Audi and a brand exclusive, stands for turbocharged fuel stratified injection. It not only turbocharges your performance; its injection system also streamlines power flow through the engine to ensure performance that's as robust as it is efficient.

Smart Audi Handling

This powerful engine doesn't work alone. Operating in tandem with the TFSI® engine is a dual-clutch 7-speed S tronic® automatic transmission and quattro® all-wheel drive with ultra® technology. These pieces of equipment specialize in optimizing both power, efficiency, and accuracy, so that you get exactly what you need from it in all types of driving circumstances.

How does this boost your towing? Well, having that extra 4,400 pounds hitched to the back of your SUV can throw off your balance and traction somewhat. However, with this intelligent AWD system applying power to wheels as soon as slippage is detected, it's much easier to maintain grip and stay on course.

Additional Q5 Cargo Capabilities

The 2020 Audi Q5 not only sports quite a bit of power that makes it easy to tow up to 4,400 pounds of trailer weight-it also has quite a bit of interior cargo space to offer. With all five seats upright and in place, you'll have 25.1 cubic feet of cargo space at your disposal.

Additionally, this model is equipped with a standard 40/20/40-split folding rear seat. When you utilize this foldability, you can more than double your cargo capabilities inside the Q5. With all three rear seats folded down, you'll have 53.1 cubic feet of cargo space to take advantage of.

Before you hitch the trailer, get everything packed inside the Q5 in minutes with the help of the convenient hands-free power liftgate. Instead of sitting everything you're carrying down to get your keys out, just swipe your foot under the rear bumper and the available liftgate will rise on its own.

Truly, packing up all your luggage and gear for the next big vacation is a total breeze!

Making Room for the Entire Crew

Once all your cargo is hitched up and luggage is safely nestled in the back, it's time for your posse to pile into the SUV. There's room for five passengers, so whether you're flying solo, with a single co-pilot, or with the whole family along, there's plenty of space for all.

One of the most frequent complaints on long road trips is cramping in the legs or other muscles from sitting in tight quarters for too long. However, the Q5 offers ample leg and shoulder room so everyone has a bit of leeway to stretch out and breathe.

Front passengers have 41 inches of legroom while rear passengers have 37.8. In addition to this, there's 57.7 inches of shoulder room up front and 56.5 inches in the back. All should be cozy during the long haul no matter where they end up sitting.

Technology Made for Road Trips

Road trip comfort and fun isn't all about the amount of space in your vehicle or the sheer strength of its performance. For total satisfaction, you also need a bevy of technologies to help you navigate the wild roads and stay entertained in the process.

The Q5 has an available Audi virtual cockpit to replace the traditional gauges behind the steering wheel with a full-color digital readout. This 12.3-inch display still offers info on mileage, speed, and more, while adding in media info like song titles. Additionally, if navigation is equipped, you can view turn by turn directions from here too.

Your other media can be accessed from the Audi smartphone interface in the center of the cockpit. With Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, your favorite music, podcasts, and audiobooks will show up on the car's touchscreen. You can even make hands-free calls from here.
