Audi has officially opened orders for its latest plug-in hybrid SUVs: the new Audi Q5 e-hybrid and Q5 Sportback e-hybrid. Offered in two power levels, 220 kW and 270 kW, these electrified all-rounders offer more electric range, smarter hybrid tech, and all the practical appeal the Q5 is known for. Whether you prefer the classic SUV silhouette or the coupe-inspired elegance of the Sportback, Audi’s latest hybrids are designed to deliver refined everyday performance with a meaningful electric range.
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.
Two operating modes are available: “EV” and “hybrid.” In EV mode, the SUV and Sportback run exclusively on electric power. When driving in hybrid mode, the hybrid management system maintains 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.
