Audi Q5 was launched in India in 2009 with only two variants namely the 3.0 TDI q and the 2.0 TFSI q. Audi Q5 was created as a smaller version of the SUV Audi Q7 which was launched before it because there were some Indian consumers who prefer a smaller SUV although Q7 is doing well in the market. It is to be noted, however, that although available in the Indian market, manufacture of Audi Q5 is still in plants in Germany and these are exported as built products to India.Engine
