Sleek, intuitive, and engineered to whisper rather than roar, the Audi Q5 e-hybrid is a car for those who believe performance shouldn’t demand attention—but effortlessly earn it. It’s not just about going electric. It’s about elevating every moment behind the wheel.
Audi turns the page with two bold new additions to the Q5 lineage. From first glance, it’s clear it isn’t merely an SUV made for commuting. The SUV and Sportback are not just sculpted but add to its athletic silhouette more akin to modern architecture than machinery. Whether you’re gazing at the Sportback’s sleek roof-line or the classic stance of the SUV, the Q5 e-hybrid feels at home anywhere: coastal highways, cobbled cities or countryside curves.
However, there is more to the Q5 than just its astonishing architecture. Beneath its sculpted form beats the unmistakable heart of Audi—quattro all-wheel drive, now re-imagined with electric precision. Available in two power-trains—220 kW and a thrilling 270 kW—the Q5 e-hybrid isn’t just a hybrid; it’s a masterclass in dynamic elegance. It’s an experience of choice, a choice that makes your Sunday grocery runs pleasurable and weekend getaways relaxing. With up to 100 kilometers of pure electric driving the car promises that signature Audi surge, hitting 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 5.1 seconds.
When it comes to the driving experience, you're enveloped by a cabin that feels more sanctuary than vehicle. Soft-touch material wraps you in Audi’s S line design, where every surface, every control, feels positioned not just with thought, but with compassion. There’s subtle confidence here, a feeling where your Q5 understands before you speak.
The Q5’s fully digital MMI experience plus is not just an infotainment system, but rather your co-pilot, artfully integrating Audi’s application store, along with smartphone interface, and a dynamic sound system that drowns the traffic allowing you a pleasurable and non-stressful drive. As for the passenger experience, Audi does not compromise. The fully adjustable rear seat bench plus lets passengers choose their own realm of space—whether you’re traveling solo with weekend luggage or with a backseat trio heading for dinner in the hills. As promised, your vehicle strives to understand before you even speak, responding with utmost silence, like it’s EV mode.
Driving the Q5 e-hybrid in EV mode is like slipping into a private members’ club—exclusive, hushed, effortless. Where power and peace collide. With three levels of regenerative braking controlled by steering wheel paddles, you can command the drive with a gentle flick of the fingers. Whether coasting into a quiet sunrise or descending a hillside road, the Q5’s intelligent hybrid system ensures that every joule of energy is put to sophisticated use.
And when the roads open up? That’s when the combustion engine joins the ensemble—smooth, quiet, and seamlessly blended with it’s electric torque. It’s not a transition you notice; it’s one you feel, like the subtle gear shift in a live jazz quartet. Additionally, beneath that is a battery system re-imagined; not just to perform but think ahead.
At the heart of the Q5 e-hybrid is a re-imagined high-voltage battery with 45% more capacity than its predecessor. Audi didn’t just increase the numbers—they re-engineered the battery architecture, using a “cell-to-pack” design that not only boosts energy density but preserves cabin and trunk space. Resulting in up to 1,358 liters of storage in the SUV with the seats down—and a silent confidence that no detail has gone overlooked.
Consecutively, charging too can be considered a part of your lifestyle, rather than just another chore. With 11 kW AC charging capability, you’re looking at a full charge in just 2.5 hours. Plug in at home after your evening run, and it’s ready to go by the time you finish your espresso. But beyond convenience lies intelligence—the kind that can predict your next move.
Audi’s hybrid drive strategy is more than just intelligent—it’s instinctual. With Predictive Efficiency Assist, the car uses GPS data, traffic analysis, even gradient readings, to determine when to recover energy or coast—making the most of every meter. It’s like driving with a sixth sense, where the car knows when to push, and when to pause.
In addition, there’s a refined rhythm to the Q5 e-hybrid’s movement:
the quiet confidence of a machine that’s always aligned—with the road, the moment, and you. Whether in EV, hybrid, or full performance mode, this Audi adapts not just to roads, but to the luxurious lifestyle you seek.
In a world obsessed with volume, the Q5 leads with stillness and luxury. The Q5 earns admiration through craft, presence and purposeful innovation. You can feel it in the red brake calipers peeking behind 19-inch alloy wheels, in the tailored black sports seats, in the way ambient lighting turns night drives into theatre.
Built in San José Chiapa, Mexico, and arriving in Europe mid-2025, the Q5 e-hybrid is more than a new chapter—it’s Audi at its most evolved. It speaks to the modern driver: someone who values sustainability, yes—but refuses to compromise on thrill, texture, or style.
With the Q5 e-hybrid, Audi redefines modern luxury—not through volume or velocity, but through refinement, range, and instinctive ease.
