Audi Q5 e Hybrid Reviews

Like the base Q5, the PHEV is powered by a 248-horsepower, 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It rides on the same multilink independent suspension as the standard model, though its components are retuned slightly to compensate for the extra weight of the hybrid system. Aside from the presence of two filler doors -- one for gasoline on the passenger side and one for the electric charging port on the driver's -- the PHEV is virtually indistinguishable from its more conventional counterparts.

It would just about be possible to drive the Q5 hybrid oblivious to the fact that it's a PHEV. If you had the instruments calibrated just so, and you didn't notice that sometimes there's even less engine noise than at other times, you might just think that this was a particularly smooth, fast, conventional Q5.

Plug-in hybrids are at their best when it feels like multiple propulsion technologies are enabling a better vehicle, rather than just hampering each other with complexity; and with some time driving the Q5 plug-in hybrid earlier this month, I can say that's for the most part what this version of the bestselling Q5 delivers. At present, Audi is the only one of the German automakers-outside of its VW Group cousin, Porsche-that's making a genuine effort to establish a clear connection in the interface between its plug-in hybrids and its fully electric models.

It is quiet, even when the gas engine is on and very smooth. Handling is precise, but the emphasis is more on comfort than sportiness. The interior is beautiful and high quality, as would be expected. The ambient lighting is a very cool feature and you can set it to suit your taste. My limited experience with the driving assistance features is that they work well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Q5 Hybrid made by Audi?
Yes! The Q5 is made as one of the two PHEVs models by Audi. The A8 sedan is the other type. Audi Q5 has become a popular model in America and it has a 4-cylinder and 2L turbocharged engine. The 14.1 kWh-battery gives it the power required and it has a Quattro all-wheel drive like all the other Q5 models.
What are the main drawbacks of hybrid cars?
The acceleration is considered to be quite poor in these hybrids, which is one of the major concerns for most users. In addition, when you are used to a normal car battery, you will be disappointed by the drastic degeneration of the batteries. You have to replace the batteries every 80k miles, which is not economical, considering the high price of the batteries.
Is it worth buying the Hybrid Vehicles?
From all possible perspectives, the hybrids are exceptional cars with so much to offer. The advantage is the fact that hybrid vehicles have the same depreciation value as conventional cars. Whereas they may seem expensive, PHEVs are known to be more fuel-efficient and have exceptional performance. They will hold a high resale value for a long period of time.
Is the Audi Q5 Hybrid effective?
Audi Q5 is a hybrid vehicle, which is designed with a parallel system. It has a 2.0L engine and an electric motor producing 33kW. Both systems have been made in such a way that they can be deactivated easily using the clutch. This is a model that heavily relies on the logic control operation, which can be complicated.

Every business do run in to some hiccups. Big thank to Martin, Sam and Tony for their help correcting the issue. I just won't count on service department from this dealer. Parts department are great tho. Bought certified 2013 A6 with service plan for 35k and 45k Miles. Bring the car in for 35k miles, service rep are quite ignorant. For my 45k miles, I've decided to bring my car to another dealer. Long behold, service records show 45k service has been used for my 35k. Record also indicate my 35k service was used before I purchase the car. Sam pull it through for me.Paul, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I would like the chance to speak with you to learn more about your service records and your experience with our staff. Can you please email me at dbutler@socalpenske.com with your preferred contact information? I appreciate your time! David Butler Service Director Penske Audi West Covina

I walked in and i was greeted by David Lee. David took his time to show us the car we were looking for, show us payment options etc. We didnt make the closing deal the 1st day, but he followed up with me the next day to se my options and once again I came back to the dealer. David and his manager worked hard trying to get me the loan I asked for and sure enough I walked out with the Audi RS5.!!My kids love the car and so do I. Thank you David and we will be coming back for My wife's car.

Came here to purchase my Audi A4 and met Martin Lin. He had one of the finest customer service skills. Came up to me with a welcoming face and was very genuine about answering my concerns and questions. Martin went above and beyond when looking for the perfect car. He took me back to look at all the available cars. Made sure that I was comfortable through the entire process. I highly recommend coming to this location and dealership for a smooth purchasing experience.

I visited the Store today and met with sales rep. Shadi Darwich and he was excellent . I explained to him what I was looking for ( Q8s ) and what I want in the car from comfort to looks and a lot and f power . Shadi took me through the the inventory and shows me some cars and he recommended that I look at Q7s as well. He took the time to show me and test drive both cars without any hesitation even after I explained to him that I'm not planing on doing anything this visit but look and feel . I then met with sales manager Nemer, whom thanked me for coming in and asked me about my experience with Shadi. I'm very pleased with everything happen with my visit and I will be coming back once I make a decision .Again, thank you for all the information and please keep up the good work .
