Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II vs Audi Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II is the quicker car,
covering it in 14.15 s at
96.6 mph against the Audi Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro’s
14.27 s — a margin of
0.12 s. To 60 mph the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II takes
5.51 s and the Audi Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro
5.61 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.
Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
9/10 for the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II,
7/7 for the Audi Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro —
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 Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro faster?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.15 s to the Audi Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro's 14.27 s, a margin of 0.12 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s against 5.61 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 Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro 0-60 time?
The Audi Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro reaches 60 mph in 5.61 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.27 s at 97.2 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 Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro at 97.2 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 7 of 7 for the Audi Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
