Audi Q5 Hybrid Design & Variants: Dual Style Choice.
The Audi Q5 Hybrid comes globally in two versions – a standard Q5 SUV and a Sportback version. Both have been launched in plug-in hybrid configurations, namely: Q5 e-hybrid quattro and Q5 Sportback e-hybrid quattro. Both versions are not just stunning in looks, but also performance and tech.
Powertrain & Hybrid Setup.
Under the hood, this hybrid car is powered by a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine that makes 250bhp and is paired with an electric motor that takes the total output to 300bhp.
This setup gives you 0- 100 kmph acceleration in just 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 250 kmph, which is rare in luxury hybrid SUVs.
Battery Technology: Dual-Stacked Innovation.
The real game-changer of this Audi Q5 Hybrid SUV is its 25.9 kWh high-voltage battery pack. This time, Audi has used a new technology in which battery cells are stacked in two layers – one above and one below.
This stacking system is not only space-efficient, but also provides 45% more battery capacity than the previous model.
Charging Experience: Quick Recharge, More Freedom.
If you completely drain the battery to fully charge it, it gets 100% charged in 2.5 hours using an 11kW AC charger. Meaning it can be easily charged during office hours or while shopping. The hybrid mode will keep you away from range anxiety during long drives.
EV Range: Go Green, Go Far.
The biggest highlight of the Q5 Hybrid is its pure electric range of around 100km. This is enough for an urban commute if you travel to the office or a nearby city daily. This means your petrol consumption will be drastically reduced!
Drive Modes: EV Or Hybrid – Your Call.
Both modes – EV and Hybrid – are available in it. In EV mode, the car runs on battery only, while hybrid mode intelligently uses a mix of petrol and battery power. Plus, you can set your desired battery level via a digital slider, which allows both flexibility and a smart driving strategy.
Performance: Fast, Smooth, and Efficient.
This Audi Q5 Hybrid SUV is a perfect blend of performance and efficiency. High torque delivery, silent electric mode, and smooth transition between power sources make it a premium driving experience. The Sportback version also comes with an even more aerodynamic and sporty look.
