Audi A5 2007 3.2 FSI V6 has all four wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) and automatic gearbox with 6 gears.
Audi A5 2007 3.2 FSI V6 accelerates to speed 100 kilometres per hour in 6.4 seconds. The maximum speed of this car is 250 km/h.

The fuel consumption of this Audi A5 2007 3.2 FSI V6 in combined mode (combining urban and highway driving) is 9.2 litres per 100km (10.9 km/l), city fuel economy - 13 l/100km, fuel consumption on highway - 6.9 l/100km. Fuel tank capacity is 65 litres or 17.17 gallons, which gives a mileage up to 700 kilometers without refueling in urban cycle and even up to 940 kilometers on highway.
According to user reviews, this Audi real everyday fuel consumption is 11.2 litres per 100 km, which is 22% more than the manufacturer's stated. More - Real Audi A5 fuel consumption.

With the same engine there are also two other Audi A5 versions - with front wheel drive and automatic gearbox (Audi A5 2007 3.2 FSI AT), and with manual gearbox (Audi A5 2007 3.2 FSI quattro MT 4x4) available:
  • Audi A5 2007 3.2 FSI AT manufacturer's fuel consumption is lower by 0.5 litres per 100 km or 5 % - 8.7 litres per 100 km, whereas users reported real fuel consumption is lower by 0.6 litres per 100 km or 5 % - 10.6 litres per 100 km
  • Audi A5 2007 3.2 FSI quattro MT 4x4 is more dynamic - it reaches 100 km/h 0.3 seconds faster (in 6.1 seconds), but manufacturer's fuel consumption is higher by 0.5 litres per 100 km or 5 % - 9.7 litres per 100 km, whereas users reported real fuel consumption is lower by 1.3 litres per 100 km or 12 % - 9.9 litres per 100 km

Audi A5 2007 3.2 FSI V6 engine CALA

Engine reliability and common problems:

This engine continues to suffer from a range of reliability concerns, many of which stem from cost-cutting on materials. One recurring issue involves low-grade gaskets used in critical areas like valve covers, actuator seals, and the vacuum pump, leading to premature leaks. Fuel consumption tends to rise sharply in engines affected by cylinder wall scoring, with more severe cases also accompanied by notable oil loss. Despite some improvements over time, the engine remains far from a benchmark in durability.

Owners frequently report power dips and sluggish throttle response, typically linked to injector malfunction caused by fuel contamination. In situations where fuel pressure consistently drops, it’s often due to gasoline leaking into the cylinders and stripping away the protective oil film, accelerating internal wear. Chain tensioners also prove unreliable over time, with cold-start rattling and abnormal noises from the engine bay commonly marking their decline. Scoring can appear suddenly, especially in used vehicles where the engine has been driven aggressively while still cold. Carbon buildup on the valves is another lingering issue that has yet to be effectively addressed.
Engine displacement 3197 cm3
Number of cylinders 6
Bore (cylinder diameter) 85.5 mm
Stroke length (piston move) 92.8 mm
Compression ratio 12.5 : 1
Camshaft drive Timing chain

Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more.
