Audi Q5 8R (1st Generation)

2009–2017 · 8R · suv

B8-platform crossover (shared with A4 B8). 2.0T TFSI (CAEB / CPMA / CNCD), 3.2L FSI V6 early, 3.0T supercharged V6 (CGWA / CTUA) for the SQ5 from 2014 (354 hp). 2.0 TDI diesel impacted by Dieselgate. Q5 hybrid available 2013-2016. Volume seller for Audi globally — long production run.

Watch out: 2.0T (early): excessive oil consumption was the headline class-action issue (piston ring redesign mid-cycle fixed most cases). Timing chain tensioner failure on early Gen-2 2.0T cars — catastrophic if it lets go. 3.0T supercharged (SQ5): water pump failure and supercharger snout bearing wear.
