Now the Q5 has been driven several times by us and it’s a favourite, right through the range.,

The Q5 PHEV version adds to that list. It comes with all the style, comfort and luxury you expect from a Q5. It also comes in both SUV and Sportback styles.

With a claimed pure electric range of 55km it may not seem like much. But research shows that most people drive anywhere between 30-50km a day and at that rate it seems perfect. We were getting a but under 50km when we drove it.

Drive it by day and plug in overnight. Seems simple right.

It is powered by a 2.0 TFSI engine paired with an electric motor for a combined output of 270kW and an impressive 500Nm.

This makes the Q5 plug-in hybrid the most powerful Q5 model ever, and with its seven-speed S tronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive with ultra technology, delivers a 0-100km/h time of just 5.3 seconds.

The slight downside is price. Its starts from $102,900 plus the usual costs and that’s getting up there.

The post Best of 2023 – Audi Q5 PHEV Review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

First launched in 2009 then with an all new version in 2017, the latest update brings a fresh style while continuing the Audi traditions.

What does the new Audi Q5 look like?

Styling has undergone some subtle refreshment to bring the model in line with the new design language.

There is a bolder single frame front grill, 19 or 20 inch alloy wheels model specific,

new LED headlights and daytime running lights, alloy wheels and a claimed world first digital OLED tail lights as an option.

Add to this some profile line highlights and the new model seems quite fresh and stylish.

What is the Q5 like inside?

The refresh continues inside. Q5 has always been exceptionally comfortable.

The driver’s seat is great especially the sport model with electronic adjustment and heating. A thick rimmed multi function leather steering wheel frames the Audi virtual cockpit.

Couple of highlights.

The MMI touch screen now means that there is room for another small pocket ion the transmission tunnel where the touch pad was previously.

There is a single line that separates the upper dash from the lower section, that is silver as standard but can be optioned as carbon fibre of woodgrain and adds to the overall ambience as well as a bringing a feeling of space.

Rear seats are more for two but have adequate room and are again very comfortable. Otherwise not much has changed inside since the last time we reviewed the Q5 HERE.

The luggage compartment can store up to 520 litres (1,520 litres with the backrests folded flat). The rear seat can be split 40:20:40 and optionally slides fore/aft to create additional luggage space or legroom, as desired.
