The Audi S series continues its switch to high-end diesel engines. The S6, S7 and SQ5 each received their diesel powertrains a while ago; the S5 coupe and liftback join the ranks today, with the convertible to follow soon.
Starting today, you can purchase either car with a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine assisted by a turbocharger, an electric supercharger and a starter-generator. The resulting output allegedly amounts to 347 hp (259 kW). Whenever the engine operates at less than 1,650 RPM, the 7-kW electric supercharger assists the turbocharger, improving overall dynamics. The maximum torque is unlocked between 2,500 and 3,100 RPM. The starter-generator provides a mild improvement in acceleration speeds by contributing 11 hp (8 kW) and 60 Nm (44 lbft) of its own when the car starts moving.
All electric components draw their power from the vehicle’s 48V electrical network and a tiny 0.5 kWh battery.
The turbo diesel engine links to an eight-speed automatic transmission and an AWD system. Normally, the torque is distributed in a 40:60 ratio between the front and the rear axle. When necessary, automatic torque control can vector up to 85% of torque to the rear axle and up to 70% to the front one. Active rear differential is available as an option.
The Audi S5 TDI takes 4.8 seconds to sprint from zero to 100 km/h. The Sportback version needs 4.9s to accomplish the same. All gas-powered versions manage to conclude the standard sprint in 4.7s.
Dealerships in Europe will begin receiving new S5 TDI models in May 2019, with prices starting from €65,300.
