The Audi Q5 PHEV Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Audi Q5 PHEV Hybrid Features Revamped Technology

The Audi Q5 is already a regular member of Audi’s gas car lineup. But the Q5 PHEV is a new model, taking the familiar compact luxury SUV and electrifying it.

Efficiency with a Kick – The Q5 PHEV uses Audi’s signature TFSI (Turbo fuel stratified injection) engine in combination with its electric motor. Together, these components enable the Q5 Plug-in Hybrid to reach greater heights than other models.

Incredible Hybrid Performance – The Q5 PHEV actually exceeds its gas engine counterpart in some performance areas. Its 362 horsepower and 369 lb.-feet of torque are both greater than the standard Q5.  The Q5 PHEV can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in 5 seconds, delivering surprising strength for a plug-in hybrid SUV.

Immersive Infotainment System – The MMI touch display delivers acoustic feedback for every touch. Crisp graphics and a customizable screen let you personalize your driving and infotainment setup. Connect your smartphone to access messages, contacts, playlists, and more easily. The Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system delivers immersive audio through an array of 19 speakers. For true luxury, upgrade to the Premium package for temperature-controlled cup holders.

Spacious Storage – The Audi Q5 Hybrid is incredibly spacious to fit the whole family and their belonging for those long trips. Fold the seats down for 54 cu-ft of overall storage capacity. 

Audi Q5 PHEV Charging — Plug-in Hybrid vehicles have the option to switch between using gas power or all-electric power. The electric-only range of most PHEVs is modest compared to fully electric vehicles. However, it still offers incredible efficiency compared to gas-engine models.

The Audi Q5 PHEV delivers 23 miles of electric-only driving range on a full charge. For a plug-in hybrid SUV, this is an exceptional range. That excellence should come as no surprise, as Audi excels in manufacturing high-quality electric vehicles.

Combined with the Q5 PHEV’s fuel efficiency, the plug-in hybrid model gets an estimated combined 60 MPGe between both driving modes.

Charging the Audi Q5 PHEV is highly convenient for most owners. Using a 240V Level 2 charging station, the Q5 PHEV can fully charge in just 3 hours. Level 2 chargers are easy to install in your home for easy overnight EV charging.

Audi Q5 PHEV Design and Technology — In terms of design and features, the Audi Q5 PHEV will receive the same treatment as the standard Q5. This is good news for those interested in the plug-in hybrid model.

Some highlights include wireless connectivity, remote access, premium 3D audio, and a crisp 3D digital display cluster. Other advanced features like heated seats and temperature-controlled cup holders are also available to add more luxury to the Q5. The Audi Q5 PHEV is also equipped with an array of safety and driver-assist features. Park assist, adaptive cruise control, front collision detection, and lane departure warning are just a few available safety features on the Audi Q5.
