INGOLSTADT: In addition to the combustion models with MHEV plus technology, the Audi Q5 SUV and Sportback will also be launched as plug-in hybrids (PHEVs).
Both the Q5 SUV and Sportback e-hybrid quattro offers 299PS (220kW) total system power and an electric range of up to 100km, while the new generation of high-voltage batteries in the e-hybrid models has 45% more capacity.
As a result, 25.9kWh (net 20.7kWh) of power is available for electric driving.
Maximum AC charging power is 11kW. If the battery is completely empty, it takes 2.5 hours to charge it to 100%.
The new Audi Q5 SUV and Sportback e-hybrid quattro are driven by a 2.0 TFSI engine with an output of 251PS (185kW) and an electric motor.
The electrified dual-clutch transmission in conjunction with the quattro ultra drive ensures a sporty yet comfortable driving experience.
Audi has also significantly increased the regenerative braking performance.
The degree of thrust recuperation in EV mode can be adjusted to three different levels using paddles on the steering wheel.
The vehicle recovers energy automatically when this function is activated.
This is based on route data stored in the navigation system.
Both the Q5 SUV and Sportback e-hybrid quattro can also recover energy automatically without active route guidance.
The Q5 e-hybrid models come with upgraded standard equipment, which includes the S sports suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights plus and LED rear lights pro as standard.
The MMI experience plus infotainment system, which also comes as standard, is equipped with the Audi Application Store, a smartphone interface, and the Audi sound system.
One especially practical feature is the fully adjustable rear seat bench plus.
It can be moved lengthwise, and its angle can be adjusted as well.
