48 quattro®

Why only use two wheels

when a car has four?

The quattro® permanent all-wheel drive.

quattro is a permanent all-wheel drive. If the

wheels on one axle of the vehicle lose grip on

the road and threaten to spin, then the drive

force is transferred to the other axle –

automatically and permanently distributed

through the self-locking centre differential with

wheel-selective torque control*. The basic

distribution is 40 : 60 – 40 % of the power goes

to the front axle, 60 % to the rear. The benefit is

better traction during acceleration and improved

safety due to impressive grip.

So much for the technology. But what makes

quattro so special is really the driving feel.

“As if you’re stuck to the road,” some customers

say. We put it like this: quattro gives you more

feel for the road and thus increased safety.

* Wheel-selective torque control not available for the Q5 hybrid quattro.

The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found from page 106 onwards.
