The upcoming 2018 Audi SQ5 will use 48v electric compressor!

The 2018 next-generation Audi SQ5 will be provided with Audi's SQ7 48V electric compressor turbocharging technology. The usage of 48v electric systems and electric compressors has become mainstream in a sense. Oliver Hoffman, Audi powertrain cheif, told Autocar, that the 2018 SQ5 could be more powerful than the new Jaguar F-Pace.

The all-new SQ5 will have only one turbocharger. It will work with an electric compressor in order to reduce fuel consumption and diminish turbo lag. The six-cylinder Audi will use a 3.0-liter TDI engine.This is the same engine, that is used by the European SQ5.
