2020 Audi Q5: New Plug-In Hybrid Option Now Available
A plug-in hybrid option is now available for the 2020 Audi Q5.The new TFSI e powertrain delivers 369 lb-ft. of torque. Even the adaptive cruise control has green features.
For 2020, Audi has introduced the first plug-in hybrid version of its Q5 SUV. Not only is the Q5 the sensible choice – the Q7 is kinda big, the Q3 is kinda small – the Q5 is just right. And now it’s the much more environmentally conscious choice. The new PHEV powertrain combined with standard quattro all-wheel drive and SUV practicality give the 2020 Q5 some serious advantages.
Before we get to nitty-gritty of this new drivetrain, it’s worth noting the Q5 is Audi’s best-selling SUV. Like I said, it hits a sweet spot. The Q3 is nice, but it’s a bit on the small side, and the Q7 is great, but it’s a tank. The Q5 is enough if you have a family, but it’s still not too much to try and drive around town.
Audi Q5: What’s New For 2020"
The big news for 2020 is this TFSI e drivetrain. The traditional bit is the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder TFSI engine. That?s now hooked to an electric motor that lives between the engine and seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch automatic. Combined output is 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft. of torque. That’s a healthy amount, and it adds up to better performance versus the non-hybrid Q5.
With the TFSI e, the sprint from zero to 60 mph takes only five seconds, nearly a second faster than the normal Q5.
