The V5 engine is a V form engine with five cylinders.

Volkswagen's VR5 is a 2.3 or 2.5 litre gasoline engine descending directly from the older VR6 from which VW removed a cylinder creating the first block to use five cylinders in a V design. The first version, with 2.3 L capacity, was capable of 150 PS (148 hp/110 kW) and had a maximum torque of 209 N·m (154 ft·lbf). It was introduced in the Passat in 1997, and later in the Golf and Bora in 1999. It was followed by a 2.5 L version for the US market.
