With the\u00a0new Q5 family<\/a>, Audi has embarked on the next chapter in the success story of the premium SUV in the mid-size class. The\u00a0Audi<\/strong>\u00a0Q5 SUV e-hybrid\u00a0quattro<\/span><\/strong>1<\/sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0and\u00a0Audi Q5 Sportback e-hybrid\u00a0quattro<\/span><\/strong>3<\/sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0plug-in hybrid models also bring all the advantages of an SUV and Sportback to the road: space, versatility, suitability for everyday use,\u00a0quattro<\/span>\u00a0drive, plus an even more progressive and dynamic silhouette. A heightened design language, state-of-the-art combustion-engine technology, and the new operating concept are additional outstanding features of the new generation. With a system output of up to 270 kW and an electric range of up to 100 kilometers, the plug-in hybrid models combine a sportily comfortable driving experience with a balanced blend of performance and efficiency.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0Audi Q5 SUV e-hybrid\u00a0quattro<\/span><\/strong>1<\/sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0and the\u00a0Audi Q5 Sportback e-hybrid\u00a0quattro<\/span><\/strong>3<\/sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0are both available in the\u00a0two power levels<\/strong>\u00a0220 kW and 270 kW. The vehicles are driven by a 2.0 TFSI engine with an output of 185 kW and an electric motor. In the 270 kW version2<\/sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0the SUV and Sportback can accelerate from 0 to 100 km\/h in 5.1 seconds. The 220 kW version1<\/sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0can do the 0 to 100 km\/h sprint in 6.2 seconds. All variants can reach a top speed of 250 km\/h (155.3 mph). The\u00a0electrified dual-clutch transmission<\/strong>\u00a0in conjunction with the\u00a0quattro<\/span>\u00a0ultra drive ensures a sporty yet comfortable driving experience.<\/p>\n

One new development is the\u00a0high-voltage battery<\/strong>, whose cells in the Q5 e-hybrid are arranged on two levels, one on top of the other. Audi has boosted the battery\u2019s capacity to 25.9 kWh (net 20.7 kWh), roughly 45 percent higher than its predecessor. Maximum AC charging power is 11 kW. If the battery is completely empty, it takes 2.5 hours to charge it to 100 percent.<\/p>\n

Two operating modes<\/strong>\u00a0are available:\u00a0\u201cEV<\/strong>\u201d and\u00a0\u201chybrid<\/strong>.\u201d In EV mode, the SUV and Sportback run exclusively on electric power. When driving in hybrid mode, the\u00a0hybrid management system<\/strong>\u00a0maintains a specific charge level as needed in order to save enough electrical energy for later use. In addition to the automatic hybrid mode, the desired charge level can now be individually selected for the first time using a digital slider.<\/p>\n

Audi has also significantly increased the\u00a0regenerative braking performance.<\/strong>\u00a0The 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. The\u00a0Audi<\/strong>\u00a0Q5 SUV e-hybrid\u00a0quattro<\/span><\/strong>1<\/sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0and\u00a0Audi Q5 Sportback e-hybrid\u00a0quattro<\/span><\/strong>3<\/sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0can also recover energy automatically without active route guidance. The hybrid management system of the new models is designed for efficiency, flexibility, and maximum customer comfort and automatically selects the optimal operating strategy.<\/p>\n

Both e-hybrid models stand out above all with their\u00a0upgraded standard equipment<\/strong>. With the 220 kW power option, these include the S sports suspension and 3-zone automatic comfort air conditioning. Those who opt for the 270 kW power version will receive the 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. The S line interior package with sports seats in a leather\/artificial leather combination in black as well as 19-inch ten-arm light-alloy aero wheels and red-painted brake calipers are included as standard. 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
