Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi E-Tron 55 is the quicker car,
covering it in 13.61 s at
103.3 mph against the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II’s
14.15 s — a margin of
0.54 s. To 60 mph the Audi E-Tron 55 takes
4.99 s and the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II
5.51 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
9/10 for the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II,
5/5 for the Audi E-Tron 55 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II or the Audi E-Tron 55 faster?
The Audi E-Tron 55. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.61 s to the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II's 14.15 s, a margin of 0.54 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.99 s against 5.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II 0-60 time?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.15 s at 96.6 mph.
What is the Audi E-Tron 55 0-60 time?
The Audi E-Tron 55 reaches 60 mph in 4.99 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.61 s at 103.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II trips the lights at 96.6 mph and the Audi E-Tron 55 at 103.3 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II and 5 of 5 for the Audi E-Tron 55. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
