5 reasons to buy the 2020 Audi Q5 Plug-in Hybrid
1. Convenient all-electric miles
If you’re looking for a luxury plug-in hybrid that can go the distance on electric miles only, the 2020 Audi Q5 is a great choice. With a full charge, it’ll get an EPA-estimated 20 miles of all-electric range before you need to switch to the gas engine.
2. All-wheel-drive capability
With standard quattro all-wheel drive, the 2020 Audi Q5 gives you the ability to get off the beaten path. Whether you want to head out to the campsite and want to trust your SUV when things get a little muddy or you just want extra grip on wet pavement, the AWD system gives you confidence. When you combine this with an estimated towing capacity of 4,400 lbs, when properly equipped, you have a practical weekend warrior for any adventure.
3. Available premium audio system
All models come with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® capability but look out for the available Bang & Olufsen® premium sound system (Prestige trim) to take your listening to the next level. This further elevates the luxury feel of the 2020 Q5. So whether you want to listen to the latest podcast or soundtrack on your next road trip, keep an eye out for that sound system.
4. Balanced performance
As a plug-in hybrid, the Q5 manages to balance thrifty performance with power. The 2.0L turbocharged engine is paired with an electric motor for a combined 362 horsepower. Altogether, this gives you an EPA-estimated 60 MPGe combined — with the gas engine alone offering 27 mpg combined.
5. Supremely comfortable for long journeys
The Q5 excels when it comes to long highway drives. Not only is it incredibly comfortable but you’ll love how quiet it is, even at speed. The cabin is well insulated from road and wind noise, and if you’re driving on electric-only power, you won’t even have any engine noise. Alongside available features such as ventilated front seats, your commute just became much more pleasant.
