Audi Q5 55 TFSI e quattro (PHEV)
Engine: 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 + electric motor
Torque: 500 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~5.0 s

Though often viewed as a family-focused luxury SUV, the Q5 in its 55 TFSI e plug-in hybrid form introduces a compelling dose of performance. With a combined 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque from its turbocharged inline-four and electric motor, it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds—putting it on par with many sport sedans and outperforming expectations for a compact crossover.

This performance is backed by technology that enhances the driving experience without sacrificing everyday comfort. Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system comes standard, working in tandem with the hybrid drivetrain to optimize grip and balance. The electric assist provides immediate torque for quick launches, while regenerative braking contributes to smoother deceleration and energy recovery.

Visually, the Q5 retains a conservative but athletic appearance, especially when equipped with the S line or Black Optic packages. Inside, the cabin combines luxury and tech with available sport seats, contrast stitching, and Audi’s Virtual Cockpit. While it may not scream performance at first glance, the Q5 55 TFSI e quietly delivers a driving experience that blends efficiency, refinement, and surprising agility.

Body Styles

SUV (Q5 SUV) – a five-door compact luxury SUV with a traditional upright design, blending sophisticated German styling with practical proportions. The Q5 emphasizes functionality, ease of use, and quiet luxury, offering generous interior space without resorting to aggressive, coupe-like lines. Subtle design evolutions after the 2021 facelift included a wider, flatter grille, revised LED lighting signatures, and sportier bumpers, enhancing both visual width and road presence.

SUV Coupe (Q5 Sportback) – a sleeker, coupe-inspired variant introduced for the 2021 model year, featuring a more dynamic sloping roofline that sacrifices some rear cargo space for a more athletic, fastback silhouette. The Sportback caters to buyers seeking emotional design without sacrificing Audi’s core SUV practicality and refinement.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

The "Q" series in Audi's lineup represents its SUV range, with "Q5" positioned between the compact Q3 and larger Q7/Q8. The Q5 was designed as a premium yet practical family SUV with sporty dynamics and Audi’s renowned quattro all-wheel-drive technology. Internally, it followed Audi’s modular longitudinal matrix platform, sharing architecture with the A4 and A5. The second-generation (2018+) Q5 emphasized refinement, efficiency, and digital technology, introducing features like the Virtual Cockpit and plug-in hybrid drivetrains while maintaining classic Audi driving composure.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The Audi Q5’s exterior color palette embraces understated elegance and restrained sportiness. Core options like Ibis White, Mythos Black Metallic, and Glacier White Metallic appeal to conservative tastes, while more expressive hues such as District Green Metallic, Navarra Blue Metallic, and Chronos Gray offer understated individuality. Sportback variants introduce additional visual flair with S line packages and available Black Optic treatments, darkening exterior trim for a stealthier look.

Inside, the Q5’s cabin is a study in minimalistic luxury, focusing on precision, material quality, and ease of use. Standard models feature leather seating surfaces in shades such as Black, Rock Gray, or Okapi Brown, while Premium Plus and Prestige trims offer ventilated Milano leather, wood grain or aluminum trim accents, and ambient lighting packages. The centerpiece is the MMI touch display — a 10.1-inch screen paired with the Audi Virtual Cockpit digital cluster — seamlessly integrated into a clean dashboard that prioritizes driver focus without sacrificing luxury cues. Optional elements such as panoramic sunroofs, Bang & Olufsen 3D sound systems, and heated rear seats further elevate the upscale experience.

Wheels for the Q5 range from refined 18-inch multi-spoke alloys to 20-inch sport wheels on S line and Sportback variants, offering a balance between visual drama, ride quality, and handling. Blacked-out or diamond-cut designs highlight Audi’s attention to detail, ensuring the Q5 looks sophisticated and athletic without appearing overly aggressive.

vs Competitors

The Audi Q5 competes with the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Volvo XC60, and Acura RDX. Against the BMW X3, the Q5 offers a slightly softer ride and a more luxurious, tech-centric interior, while the X3 delivers sharper handling. Compared to the Mercedes GLC, the Q5 strikes a balance between comfort and engagement, with Audi’s MMI interface often praised as more intuitive than Mercedes’ MBUX system. Against the Volvo XC60, the Q5 emphasizes Germanic driving precision over Scandinavian design minimalism. Overall, the Q5 remains a benchmark for refined driving, subtle luxury, and all-weather capability, particularly thanks to its standard quattro AWD system across all variants.

Fun Fact

Despite being a compact luxury SUV, the Audi Q5 was one of the first vehicles in its segment to offer a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option with the 55 TFSI e quattro, delivering more than 40 km of pure electric range under ideal conditions — a pioneering step that helped Audi bridge the gap between internal combustion and full electrification in the premium SUV market.
