Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro

Audi Q5 hybrid quattro is the first hybrid model from Audi with two drive systems. It has s gasoline engine, a 2.0 TFSI, and its electric motor have a system output 180 kW (245 hp) and 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft) for sporty dynamics the mean consumption in the normal cycle (NEDC) is limited to less than 7.0 liters per 100 km (33.60 US mpg).

The sportiest hybrid SUV on the market covers about three kilo meters (1.86 miles) locally emission-free at a speed of 60 km/h (37.28 mph), and can drive up to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) under electric power alone. The Q5 Hybrid has a 38 kg (84 lb) lithium-ion battery which stores 39 kW of energy. When stopped, in traffic, all drive systems are deactivated. As soon as the brake is released, the electric motor powers the vehicle at speeds up to 100 km/h (62 mph). Furthermore, it’s possible to travel up to three kilo meters (1.86 miles) on electricity alone at speeds up to 60 km/h (37.28 mph).

On the styling front, there doesn’t appear to be any major changes except for new wheels which are undoubtedly wrapped in low-rolling resistance tires. Inside, there’s a revised instrument cluster (which provides an overview of the hybrid system) and a smaller luggage compartment which holds 480 liters (17 cubic feet) of cargo.

A lithium-ion battery system, weighing merely 38 kg (83.78 lb), serves as the energy store for the electric motor of the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro. The compact unit with its 26 liter (6.87 US gallon) capacity is positioned in a crash-safe area under the loading floor, with hardly any detriment to the luggage compartment. The battery consists of 72 cells; at 266 volts its nominal energy is 1.3 kWh and its output 39 kW. The hood and tailgate are made out of aluminum and the quattro all-wheel drive system has been re-engineered with aluminum components. Thanks to these tweaks, the Q5 Hybrid tips the scales at less than 2000 kg (4409 lb) which makes it the lightest hybrid SUV in the world.

Audi Q5 hybrid quattro is distinguished by visual features on the outside. The tailgate, the fenders and the aluminum sill panel strips bear the hybrid lettering. The radiator grill is glossy black, and the tailpipes chrome-trimmed. Polar Silver, metallic is available for the exclusive paintwork. The climate control system of the Audi Q5 hybrid was adapted to the requirements of electric driving. The compressor of the air conditioning has a high-voltage based electric drive; demand-controlled for high efficiency, the compressor ensures AC operation even when the combustion engine is shut down. An electric auxiliary heater supports the interior heating.
