Audi Q5: 200kW petrol and 270kW plug-in hybrid added to range

Audi Australia has announced pricing and specifications for new variants to the Q5 mid-size SUV range, including a 270kW plug-in ‘e-hybrid’ and a new 200kW version of the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. Like the recently released A5 mid-sizer, the Audi Q5 e-hybrid and 200kW petrol variants are priced at parity from $96,900 plus on-road costs despite the e-hybrid including more standard equipment.

Filling the space between the 150kW Q5 and 270kW SQ5 variants already on sale, the new Q5 200kW and e-hybrid variants use a turbocharged 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The petrol variant makes 200kW of power and 400Nm of torque, up from 150kW/340Nm in the entry-level petrol Q5.

Meanwhile, the Q5 e-hybrid adds an electric motor for 270kW/500Nm outputs and draws power from a 20.7kWh battery for up to 82km of electric driving range (WLTP). The Q5 e-hybrid sprints to 100km/h in 5.1 seconds, which is 0.6 seconds behind the SQ5 that sits above it in the line-up. Audi claims the Q5 e-hybrid uses 2.6L/100km of fuel – if fully charged – and its claimed CO2 emissions are rated at 60g/km. It can be AC charged at up to 11kW – but not DC fast charged.

For equipment, the Q5 200kW TFSI quattro and its Sportback coupe sibling share the Q5 2.0 TDI quattro’s features, including 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, sports front seats, leather upholstery, a 14.5-inch touchscreen and a full suite of active safety features.

Yet despite its price parity, the Q5 e-hybrid adds extra features, including unique wheels, sports suspension, red brake calipers, black exterior styling, rear privacy glass and auxiliary air conditioning.
