The New Audi Q5 SUV e‑hybrid & Q5 Sportback e‑hybrid Now Open for Order

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.

Signature lights:

Intelligent Matrix LED headlights on Edition 1 models offer a choice of animated sequences that announce your arrival and departure.

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. The Audi Q5 SUV e-hybrid quattro and Audi Q5 Sportback e-hybrid quattro can 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.

Both e-hybrid models stand out above all with their upgraded standard equipment. 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.
