- For convenience let’s just call this the Q5 Sportback PHEV otherwise I’ll go quite mad.

The mid-size SUV has been popular since it went on sale, and the German carmaker continues to expand its crossover fleet even further. The latest craze is to satisfy those not yet ready to jump into a full electric cars. Hybrids, Mild Hybrids, and Plug-In Hybrids assuage the uneasy feeling some get as they get range anxiety without ever having been in an EV.
Mild, or 48V hybrids is the first baby step, and full hybrid is the next. The latter can spend time in pure EV mode as long as its tiny battery has charge. A plug-in hybrid raises the stakes even further by being able to run a considerable distance without the petrol engine coming on. It is always there if the PHEV needs extra assistance but under normal circumstances it stays off. Even in EV mode, the petrol engine fires up should you put your hoof flat to the floor.
The Audi Q5 Sportback PHEV is the (sexier) coupé version of the regular Q5. It is handsomer than Q5, yet still has that understated look Audi is famous for. For $110,900 I’d have hoped for more inclusions on the standard equipment list, none the less the fitted gear is still impressive.

Having had five Audis in my past, this is certainly an aspirational vehicle. Great Audi finish and comfort with a bit of grunt. Ideal for urban running or some out of town trips.
Audi doesn’t give us the sportback in a phev variant in the US :(
Love your reviews, especially when David joins you. You make a great double act.
For $120000 or more drive away and 2.1 tonnes, and remember it’s just a very well made upmarket VW. And what’s with the huge centre tunnel and the ridiculously small boot with no under floor cable storage and bet there’s no spare.
Just can’t see it attracting any more buyers to EVs.
Plenty of competition out there I’m sure.
Could you tell us what it’s up against?
the BMW IX's, Mercedes EQs and i suppose a tesla model Y. stunning to drive though....
Thank you. I think I would go for the BMW every time ahead of the Audi and certainly the Tesla if I wanted buy at this price point which I certainly don’t.
@@WazzaG076 it would depend on what they were like to drive, back to back
True. Haven’t driven any but going by previous experience with driving son in law’s ICE BMW and their experiences. Thanks.
@@WazzaG076 one thing i've noticed is that there is less difference in the drive experience of EVs compared to ICE. not sure why. perhaps the ICE counted more towards the experience than i thought
