Audi A5 Coupe Gets New 180Hp 2.0 TFSI in Place of 170Hp 1.8 TFSI

For those of you that have been closely monitoring the VW Group's moves in the powertrain department the past decade or so, it comes to no surprise that Audi decided to replace the A5 Coupe's entry level 170Hp 1.8 TFSI petrol engine with a new 180Hp 2.0 TFSI unit in less than a year after its introduction.

Derived from the 211Hp version of the turbo charged 2.0-litre, four-cylinder FSI engine introduced earlier this month, the A5 Coupe's new base 2.0 TFSI unit holds a 10Hp power advantage over the 1.8 TFSI, and delivers its peak output 800rpm earlier. Additionally, torque also increases by 70Nm to 320Nm, which is available from 1,500rpm to 3,900rpm. According to Audi, the A5 2.0 TFSI goes from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 7.8 secs and on to a top speed of 238 km/h or 148mph. That's compared to the A5 1.8 TFSI's 8.4 secs and 230 km/h or 143mph. -Continued

Despite the power increase, fuel economy and emission figures have taken a step forward compared with the outgoing model with the A5 2.0 TFSI registering 6.6lt/100km (35.6 MPG US) in the combined cycle (a 0.8lt/100km improvement over the 1.8 TFSI) and emitting 154g/km of CO2 (9 percent reduction).
