If you want a refined and dynamic premium SUV but you often need to tow things like a travel trailer, a boat, or any other kind of equipment, Audi has a solution for you with its 2023 SUV lineup. Here is an overview of the towing capacity of every vehicle in that lineup.
Audi Q3 – 1,499 pounds
Despite begin the smallest SUV in the lineup, the 2023 Audi Q3 is capable of towing loads heavy enough to be quite useful for owners who need to transport items such as an ATV, a small pop-up camper, or multiple bags of earth and mulch. Indeed, the Q3’s standard turbocharged 2.0L engine and Quattro all-wheel drive powertrain gives it a maximum towing capacity of 1,499 pounds (680 kilograms).
Audi Q4 e-tron – 2,650 pounds
If you want an electric vehicle but hesitate to make the switch because you sometimes need to tow, the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron could be the perfect vehicle to make you go electric without regret. This is because the dual motor powertrain found in this model provides 295 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of instantaneous torque that can easily pull a trailer weighing up to 2,650 pounds (1,202 kilograms). Of course, towing impacts the range of any EV, but the 82 kWh battery and complimentary fast charging at the Electrify Canada network included with every Q4 e-tron means charging stops can be kept to a minimum and long towing trips won’t cost you a dime in energy for the first four years of ownership.
Audi Q5 – 4,409 pounds
When equipped with the towing package, the 2023 Audi Q5 is capable of towing up to 4,409 pounds (2,000 kilograms). This means that this mid-size premium crossover is perfect to tow a small travel trailer, a boat, or any other kind of cargo you need to transport. With the presence of the standard Quattro all-wheel drive system, the 2023 Q5 is even capable of towing these loads on surfaces where many other vehicles would be stopped.
Audi Q7 – 7,701 pounds
The 2023 Audi Q7 is the most capable SUV in the brand’s lineup due to its powerful engines, its solid platform, and its higher weight that allows it to pull heavier loads without being adversely affected. This translates into a towing capacity of up to 7,701 pounds (3,493 kilograms) when powered by either the turbocharged 3.0L V6 in the 55 TFSI models or the turbocharged 4.0L V8 in the SQ7. This means that the Q7 is well suited to towing equipment such as a travel trailer big enough for family vacations, or a small horse trailer.
Audi Q8 – 7,701 pounds
Since it shares the same platform and the same powertrains as the Q7, it comes as no surprise that the 2023 Audi Q8 is capable of towing just as much as its larger brother. Since even the impressive RS Q8 offers up to 7,701 pounds of towing capacity, this model is perfect for those who want a serious performance car on the weekend but need to tow significant loads the rest of the week.
Audi Q8 e-tron – 3,968 pounds
As with the Q4 e-tron, the electric powertrain of the 2023 Audi Q8 e-tron helps it tow heavy loads due to an instantaneous delivery of torque that provides strong accelerations at any speed. The Q8 e-tron is thus rated to tow loads weighing up to 3,968 pounds (1,800 kilograms) when equipped with the towing package.
